Answer:

\text{d.}\quad a_n=-2.25(2)^{n-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

The common ratio is given as 2, so the base of any exponential must be 2 (not -2 or 2.25). The 4th term is negative, so the initial value must be negative (since the multiplying factor is positive). The only selection matching these requirements is d.

You know the general term is ...

... an = a1·r^(n-1)

so the 4th term is

... -18 = a1·2^(4-1) = 8·a1

Then the first term is ...

... a1 = -18/8 = -2.25 . . . . . confirms our choice of answer d.

r-ruslan [8.4K]
The value of Tan 3.4 is 0.059410947 rounded off to four decimal places would equal to 0.0594, letter B. This is your answer if your calculator is in the degree mode. 

Tangent or Tan is one of the trigonometry functions. It represents TOA in the sohcahtoa mnemonic which means Tan = Opposite / Adjacent

Brad has two lengths of copper pipe to fit together. one has a length of 2 5/12 feet and the other has a length of 3 7/12 feet.
elena-s [515]
To find all of the feet of pipe that Brad has, you add both of the lengths of the pipes together. So 2 5/12+3 7/12. Add the numbers together first, 5. Then add the fractions, 5/12+7/12=1. So add 5 and 1 and you get 6 feet of pipe. Hope this helps.
