Answer: 6 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The gain in play to the football team = 18 yards

By using integers , it can be written as +18.

The loss in the next play = 12 yards

By using integers , it can be written as -12

Then, the team's total yardage is given by :-

$\text{Total yardage}=18\text{ yards}-12\text{ yards}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{Total yardage}=6 \text{ yards}$

Hence, the team;s total yardage = 6 yards.

Find the 12th term of the geometric sequence 5, -25, 125, ...5,−25,125,...

katovenus [111]

Answer:

$a_{12}=-244140625$

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the geometric sequence

$5,-25,\:125,\:...$

$a_1=5$

As the common ratio ' $r$ ' between consecutive terms is constant.

$\mathrm{Compute\:the\:ratios\:of\:all\:the\:adjacent\:terms}:\quad \:r=\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}$

$r=\frac{-25}{5}=-5$

$r=\frac{125}{-25}=-5$

The general term of a geometric sequence is given by the formula:

$a_n=a_1\cdot \:r^{n-1}$

where $a_1$ is the initial term and $r$ the common ratio.

Putting $n = 12$ , $r = -5$ and $a_1=5$ in the general term of a geometric sequence to determine the 12th term of the sequence.

$a_n=a_1\cdot \:r^{n-1}$

$a_n=5\left(-5\right)^{n-1}$

$a_{12}=5\left(-5\right)^{12-1}$

$=5\left(-5^{11}\right)$

$\mathrm{Remove\:parentheses}:\quad \left(-a\right)=-a$

$=-5\cdot \:5^{11}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:exponent\:rule}:\quad \:a^b\cdot \:a^c=a^{b+c}$

$=-5^{1+11}$ ∵ $5\cdot \:5^{11}=\:5^{1+11}$

$=-244140625$

Therefore,

$a_{12}=-244140625$

the local bakery uses 1.75 cups of flour in each batch of cookies. the bakery usee 5.25 cups of flour this morning. How many bat

Travka [436]

Answer:

Using 5.25 cups of flour would make 3 batches of cookies. He made 180 cookies.

Step-by-step explanation:

To see how many batches you make all you do is take the 5.25 and divide it by 1.75 because thats how much it takes to make 1. When you divide it you get 3. If there are 5 dozen in each batch thats 60 cookies because 1 dozen is 12. Then,since he made 3 batches you multiply the 60 by 3 and you get 180.

Hope this helps!
