Answer:

a) Explicit Formula : aₙ = 3. (-3)ⁿ⁻¹

b) Fifth term : a₅ = 243

Step-by-step explanation:

This sequence above is the Geometric sequence. The Geometric sequence is calculated using the formula

aₙ= a1.rⁿ⁻¹

where a1 = first term

r = common ratio

n = number of terms

From the above question, we are given

a1= 3, r=-3 and asked to find the explicit formula.

The explicit formula using the geometric sequence formula =

aₙ = 3. (-3)ⁿ⁻¹

b) The fifth term in the sequence is calculated as

aₙ = 3. (-3)ⁿ⁻¹

Where n = 5

a₅ = 3.(-3)⁵⁻¹

a₅ = 3.(-3)⁴

a₅= 243

Agata [3.3K]
First of all, remember that 100% is one whole thing.

Then.look at the problem, and see that 90 is three times 30.

-- 90 is 300% <em><u>of</u></em> an entire 30 .

-- To go from 30 to 90, you have to increase the 30 <em>by</em> 200% of itself.

x^2 = 144
x = 12  

Area of the traingle = 1/2 * base * height 
= 1/2 * 5 * 12
= 30 units^2
