Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In a geometric sequence, consecutive terms differ by a common ratio. The formula for determining the nth term of a geometric progression is expressed as
an = a1r^(n - 1)
Where
a represents the first term of the sequence.
r represents the common ratio.
n represents the number of terms.
From the given sequence,
a1 = - 5
r = 15/- 5 = - 3
Therefore, the explicit rule for this sequence is
an = - 5(- 3)^n - 1
Answer:
x = -3, y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
x - y = -5
x = -5 + y
Let's put this into the other equation
(-5 + y) + y = -1
-5 + 2y = -1
2y = 4
y = 2
Now we can solve for x by plugging y into either equation
x + (2) = -1
x = -3
The correct answer is the second choice.
Paolo made an error when he cross multiplied the proportion. He should have multiplied the 3 and the 8 and also the 12 and the x.
The second line should be:
12x = 24
Answer:
The dimensions are 24 and 12 meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
W + L + W + L = 72 perimeter
(L-12) + L + (L-12) + L = 72
4L - 24 = 72
4L = 72 + 24 = 96 ====> L = 96%2F4 = 24.
