Answer:

The first term of the sequence is -120.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the "nth" term of a geometric sequence is shown below:

an = a0*r^(n-1)

Where an is the nth term, r is the ratio and n is the position of the term on the sequence. For this problem we want to find what is the initial term, a0, so we will isolate it in the formula as shown below:

a0*r^(n-1) = an

a0 = an/[r^(n-1)]

We then apply the data given to us

a0 = 31.45728/[-0.8^(7-1)]

a0 = 31.45728/[-0.8^6] =31.45728 /-0.262144= -120

The first term of the sequence is -120.

How do you implicitly differentiate: sqrt(xy)=x^2y+1
Furkat [3]
Implicit expression refers to equation that are not strictly expressed in terms of y and x separately. In this case, the derivative of expression 
<span>sqrt(xy)=x^2y+1 is

sqrt x * 0.5 y ^-0.5 dy + </span>sqrt y<span> * 0.5 x ^-0.5 dx= x^2 dy + 2xy dx 
dy (x^2 - 0.5 (</span>x/y) ^0.5) = dx (2xy  - 0.5 (y<span>/x)^0.5) 
dy/dx = </span>(2xy  - 0.5 (y/x)^0.5) / (x^2 - 0.5 (<span>x/y) ^0.5)</span>
