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

Find the midpoint of the segment that has endpoints at<br> (a+b, a-b) and (a, b).
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

((2a+b)/2 , a/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint is the mean/average of both the x and y values.

Our x values are a+b and a

Our y values are a-b and b

The midpoint x value is (a+b + a ) /2 = (2a + b)/2

The midpoint y value is (a-b + b) /2 = (a)/2

The midpoint combines these two values to get ((2a+b)/2 , a/2) as our midpoint
