Answer:
= 96
Step-by-step explanation:
The n th term of a geometric sequence is
= a
where a is the first term and r the common ratio.
Both values have to be found.
Using
a₂ = - 144, then
ar = - 144 → (1)
a₅ = 486, then
a
= 486 → (2)
Divide (2) by (1)
= 
r³ = - 3.375 ( take the cube root of both sides )
r = - 1.5
Substitute r = - 1.5 into (1)
- 1.5a = - 144 ( divide both sides by - 1.5 )
a = 96
Hence explicit formula is
= 96
Answer:$6250
Step-by-step explanation:
selling price(sp)=12000
Original price(op)=?
sp+500=2 x op
12000+500=2 x op
12500=2 x op
Divide both sides by 2
12500/2=(2 x op)/2
6250=op
Therefore original price is $6250
Answer:
LETS TAKE THEM DOWN!
Step-by-step explanation:
11) 7 + -10+(4(5+-3)) = 7+-10+8=5
12) (12 +-10)+3x+-1(2x+4x), 12+-10x+3x+-2x+-4x = 12+-13x
False, because a^2+b^2=c^2 and no matter what numbers substitute for which ever variable the answer isn’t going to be true
