Answer:

The sixth term is -243/2048 ⇒ answer B

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain the geometric sequence

- There is a constant ratio between each two consecutive numbers

- Ex:

# 5  ,  10  ,  20  ,  40  ,  80  ,  ………………………. (×2)

# 5000  ,  1000  ,  200  ,  40  ,  …………………………(÷5)  

* General term (nth term) of a Geometric sequence:

# U1 = a  ,  U2  = ar  ,  U3  = ar²  ,  U4 = ar³  ,  U5 = ar^4

# Un = ar^(n-1), where a is the first term , r is the constant ratio

  between each two consecutive terms  and n is the position of the

  number in the sequence

- Ex: U5 = ar^4  ,  U7 = ar^6  ,  U10 = ar^9  ,  U12 = ar^11

- Lets solve the problem

∵ The sequence is 1/2 , -3/8 , 9/32

- Lets find the constant ratio r

∵ The first term is a = 1/2

∵ The second term is U2 = ar

∵ The second term  U2 = -3/8

∴ ar = -3/8

∴ 1/2 r = -3/8 ⇒ multiply both sides by 2

∴ r = -3/4

- Lets find the sixth term

∵ a = 1/2 and r = -3/4

∵ n = 6

∴ U6 = ar^5

∴ U6 = 1/2 (-3/4)^5 = 1/2 × -243/1024 = -243/2048

* The sixth term is -243/2048

Solve the equation-8+6m= 1/2(4m+16) for m
Lena [83]

Answer:

m = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- 8 + 6m = \frac{1}{2}(4m + 16) ← distribute parenthesis

- 8 + 6m = 2m + 8 ( subtract 2m from both sides )

- 8 + 4m = 8 ( add 8 to both sides )

4m = 16 ( divide both sides by 4 )

m = 4

Can Some one please help me on these math questions<br><br>I'll give 20 points please
MArishka [77]

Answer:

☐ -2 < 2x + 4

☐ -3x - 2 > 5

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x - 2 > 5

+ 2 + 2

___________

-3x > 7

___ ___

-3 -3

x < -2⅓ [Anytime you <em>divide</em> or <em>multiply</em> by a negative, reverse the inequality symbol.]

-2 < 2x + 4

-4 - 4

___________

-6 < 2x

__ ___

2 2

-3 < x

If you plug in -3 for <em>x < -2</em><em>⅓</em><em>,</em><em> </em>you will see that it is a genuine statement because the more higher a negative gets, the lesser the integer will be, so in this case, -3 IS <em>less</em><em> </em><em>than</em><em> </em>-2⅓.

I am joyous to assist you anytime.

** If it is not multi-select, then choose <em>-2 < 2x + </em><em>4</em><em>.</em>
