Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a=-7
r=21/-7=-3
![a_{15}=a r^{n-1}=-7(-3)^{15-1}=-7(-3)^{14}=-33480783](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=a_%7B15%7D%3Da%20r%5E%7Bn-1%7D%3D-7%28-3%29%5E%7B15-1%7D%3D-7%28-3%29%5E%7B14%7D%3D-33480783)
(4,1) because it is the ordered pair that passes through the line
Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
Recall: ![x^{-a} = \frac{1}{x^a}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20x%5E%7B-a%7D%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7Bx%5Ea%7D%20)
a. ![4^{-3} = \frac{1}{4^3} = \frac{1}{64}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%204%5E%7B-3%7D%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B4%5E3%7D%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B64%7D%20)
b. ![13^{-2} = \frac{1}{13^2} = \frac{1}{169}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%2013%5E%7B-2%7D%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B13%5E2%7D%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B169%7D%20)
c. ![(-3)^{-2} = \frac{1}{-3^2} = \frac{1}{9}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%28-3%29%5E%7B-2%7D%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B-3%5E2%7D%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B9%7D%20)
Answer:
22
Step-by-step explanation:
ST is y and SU is 2y-4.
Note that SU = ST + TU = y + 18
So we have 2y - 4 = y + 18
2y - 4 = y + 18
2y = y + 22
y = 22
So ST is 22.

One plus one equals 2 let me know if you need more help
