7 0

Answer:

nth term of the geometric sequence

an= -12*3^(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

First term

a= -12

Second term

ar= -36

-12r=-36

r=-36/-12

=3

Third term

ar^2= -108

-12(3)^2

= -12(9)

= -108

nth term of the geometric sequence

an=ar^(n-1)

= -12*3^(n-1)

∠A and \angle B∠B are supplementary angles. If m\angle A=(x-16)^{\circ}∠A=(x−16) ∘ and m\angle B=(3x+28)^{\circ}∠B=(3x+28) ∘ , t
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

  ∠A = 26°

Step-by-step explanation:

Supplementary angles total 180°.

  ∠A +∠B = 180°

  (x -16)° +(3x +28)° = 180°

  4x° + 12° = 180°

  x° +3° = 45°

  x° = 42°

  ∠A = (x -16)° = 42° -16°

  ∠A = 26°

* The nth term of sequence A is 3n − 2 The nth term of sequence B is 10 − 2n Sally says there is only one number that is in both
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

Sally is not right

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the two sequences which have their respective n^{th} terms as following:

Sequence A. 3n - 2

Sequence B. 10 - 2n

As per Sally, there exists only one number which is in both the sequences.

To find:

Whether Sally is correct or not.

Solution:

For Sally to be correct, we need to put the n^{th} terms of the respective sequences as equal and let us verify that.

3n-2=10-2n\\\Rightarrow 3n+2n=10+2\\\Rightarrow 5n=12\\\Rightarrow n = \dfrac{12}{5}

When we talk about n^{th} terms, n here is a whole number not a fractional number.

But as per the statement as stated by Sally n is a fractional number, only then the two sequences can have a number which is in the both sequences.

Therefore, no number can be in both the sequences A and B.

Hence, Sally is not right.

Why do you add a zero when multiplying two digits by two digits
malfutka [58]
When you add a zero to the problem, it shows you are now multiplying in the double-digits. Let's say you are multiplying 12x12. First you cover up the one then multiply them. Then cover up the two and you have 10. When you multiply them, it ends in a zero. Don't think of it as adding a zero but adding to products.
