Answer:

-256

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

a₁ = -4 (First term)

r = -8 ÷ -4 = 2 (Common ratio)

n = 7 (Number of term)

Find:

a₇ = ?

Formula:

aₙ = a₁ · rⁿ⁻¹

Solve:

a₇ = -4 · 2⁷⁻¹

a₇ = -4 · 2⁶

a₇ = -4 · 64

a₇ = -256

Tom sells baseball cards at 10 for 35 cents. Is that a better deal than 12 for 40 cents?

AVprozaik [17]

For either one of the deals, just find what one card equals and times it by how many cards the other equation has.

e.g. 0.35 cents divide by 10 = 0.035. And now, you times it by 12 since the other deal is 12 cards for 40 cents.

0.035 x 12 = 0.48

So, 10 cards for 35 cents is not the better deal.

Measure of each side of an equilateral triangle is 12cm. It's area is given by

telo118 [61]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of an equilateral triangle is calculated as

A = $\frac{s^2\sqrt{3} }{4}$ ← s is length of a side

Here s = 12, thus

A = $\frac{12^2\sqrt{3} }{4}$

= $\frac{144\sqrt{3} }{4}$

= 36 $\sqrt{3}$ → D
