Givens

Sequence 2, - 4, 8, -16, 32 ....

First term = a = 2

Problem

Find the nth term

tn = (-1 )^(n -1) * (a)^n answer or

tn = (-1)^(n - 1) * 2^n

where a is defined as the first term (it usually is given that designation).

Try a few to make sure the formula is correct

<em>n = 1</em>

t1 = (-1)^(1 - 1) * 2^1

t1 = (-1)^0 * 2

t1 = 1 * 2 = 2

<em>n =2</em>

t2 = (-1)^(2 - 1) * 2^2 = (-1)^1 * 4 = -4

Manuel bought a balloon (that is a perfect sphere) with a radius of 2 \text{ cm}2 cm2, space, c, m. He wanted his balloon to be
jonny [76]
The original volume of the balloon is given by:
 V1 = (4/3) * (pi) * (r ^ 3)
 Where,
 r: radius of the sphere.
 Substituting values:
 V1 = (4/3) * (pi) * (1 ^ 3)
 V1 = (4/3) * (pi) * (1)
 Then, the volume of the current sphere is:
 V2 = (4/3) * (pi) * ((1 + 2 * (1)) ^ 3)
 V2 = (4/3) * (pi) * ((1 + 2) ^ 3)
 V2 = (4/3) * (pi) * ((3) ^ 3)
 V2 = (4/3) * (pi) * (27)
 The relation of volumes is:
 V2 / V1 = ((4/3) * (pi) * (27)) / ((4/3) * (pi) * (1))
 V2 / V1 = 27/1
 Answer:
 
The ratio of the current volume of the balloon to the original volume of the balloon is:
 
27: 1

Explain what happens to the cross products when the terms of a proportion are cross multiplied.
Temka [501]

Answer:

The cross product is created

Step-by-step explanation:

A proportion is simply a statement that two ratios are equal. ... In problems involving proportions, we can use cross products to test whether two ratios are equal and form a proportion. To find the cross products of a proportion, we multiply the outer terms, called the extremes, and the middle terms, called the means.

I hope this helped :)
