Hello,

a(2)=-6
a(3)=-6*r
a(4)=-6*r²
a(5)=-6*r^3=162
a(5)/a(2)=r^3=162/(-6)=-27==>r=-3

a(1)=-6/(-3)=2
a(2)=2*(-3)
a(3)=2*(-3)²
a(4)=2*(-3)^3
a(5)=2*(-3)^4

a(n)=2*(-3)^(n-1)

A rectangle has a perimeter of 34 cm in an area of 52 cm squared it's length is 5 more than twice its width write and solve the
valina [46]

Let l be the length and w be the width of the rectangle.

Given perimeter of the rectangle

2(l+w)=34 \; l+w=17

Area of the rectangle is

lw=52

Also length is 5 more than twice its width,

l=2w+5

From the above equations

(l-w)^2=(l+w)^2-4lw=17^2-4*52=81\\ l-w=9,\; since \; l>w

Now 2l=9+17=26\;,l=13,w=4

The dimensions of the rectangle are length l=13, and width w=4.

You are giving the following amounts: $190,258.50; $152,698.00; $122,753.00; $220,523.00; $231,951.00. What is the average of th
Pie
This is a really simple problem once you understand how to solve it, and that's what I'm going to show you! :)

When calculating the mean (average) of multiple numbers, your first step is to add the numbers together.
190,258.50 + 152,698.00 + 122,753.00 + 220,523.00 + <span>231,951.00 = 918,183.50

Then you take the sum of your numbers, and divide the sum by the amount of numbers added, which in your case, is 5.

918,183.50/5 = 183,636.70

The average of these numbers is $183,636.70
