Answer:

c a(n+10)

Step-by-step explanation:

[(-1)^(n+1)] × (5^n)

an > 0

a(n+5) = (-1)⁵ × 5^(n+5) < 0

a(n+10) = (-1)¹⁰ × 5^(n+10) > 0

a(n+15) = (-1)¹⁵ × 5^(n+15) < 0

Since a^n is positive, n is even

Odd powers of -1 are negative

5/6-1/9=?/?-?/? =13/18
daser333 [38]
15/18 - 2/18 = 13/18

Find the least common multiple of 6 and 9. The LCM is 18. In order to get 18 on the denominator with 6, you have to multiply by 3 because 6 times 3 is 18. You have to multiply 3 to the numerator, so 5 times 3 is 15. Thus, the first fraction is 15/18. To get the second, you need to find what would get you 18 on the denominator with 9. You need 2, so 9 times 2 is 18. You have to multiply 2 to the numerator, so 1 times 2 is 2. Thus, the second fraction is 2/18.
