Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
A recursive formula allows us to calculate any term in the sequence from the previous term.
These are the terms of a geometric sequence with r being the common ratio between consecutive terms.
r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 8 ÷ 4 = 16 ÷ - 8 = - 2
Multiplying a particular term by - 2 gives the next term in the sequence.
Hence recursive formula is
= - 2
with a₁ = - 2

Answer:
c = 730cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The first thing we would do is to draw the diagram using th given information.
Find attached the diagram.
a = 714 cm
the measure of angle A = 78°
To determine c, we would apply sine rule. This is because we know the opposite and we are to determine the hypotenuse
sin78 = opposite/hypotenuse
sin 78 = 714/c
c = 714/sin 78 = 714/0.9781
c= 729.99
c≅ 730 cm ( nearest cm)
