1 + (-5) becomes 1 - 5 because you are adding a negative number.
1 - 5 is -4
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In a geometric series, the successive terms differ by a common ratio which is determined by dividing a term by the preceding term.
The formula for determining the nth term of a geometric progression is expressed as
Tn = ar^(n - 1)
Where
a represents the first term of the sequence.
r represents the common ratio between successive terms in the sequence.
n represents the number of terms in the sequence.
From the seies shown,
a = 28
r = 98/28 = 343/98 = 3.5
The formula representing the nth term of the given sequence would be expressed as
Tn = 28 × (3.5)^(n - 1)
Answer:
10.6 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
The corner where Starbucks is located could be considered to be the right angle in a right triangle having legs of 8 miles (distance to you) and 7 miles (distance to your friend). The straight-line distance (d) from you to your friend is the hypotenuse of that triangle. Its length can be found from the Pythagorean theorem.
d² = 8² +7²
d² = 64 +49 = 113
d = √113 ≈ 10.6
You and your friend are about 10.6 miles from each other.
