Answer:
2,125,760
Step-by-step explanation:
The first term (a) is 8
The fourth term is 216
Hence the sum of the first 12 term can be calculated as follows
= 8-8(3)^12/1-3
= 8-24^12/-2
= 2,125,760
The sum of first 12 terms is 2,125,760
Plug in n = 1 into the nth term formula
a(n) = 4n-1
a(1) = 4*1-1
a(1) = 3
So the first term is 3
The second term will be 7 because we add on 4 each time, as indicated by the slope of 4. This is also known as the common difference.
So the nth term is found by adding 4 to the (n-1)st term, in other words,
a(n) = a(n-1)+4

In summary, the answer is
a1=3; an=an-1+4
which is choice B
Answer:
Given is a sculpture that is built up of metal and wood, and the weight of this sculpture is 14.9 kilograms.
It says that three-fourth of the total weight is metal and says to find the weight of wooden part.
We can find the weight of metal part and then subtract it from the total weight to calculate the answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
Total weight = 14.9 kilograms.
Metal part = three-fourth of total weight =
Wooden part = 14.9 - 11.175 = 3.725 kilograms.
Hence, the wooden part is 3.725 kilograms.
Answer:
5 / 28
Step-by-step explanation:
5/7 ÷ 20/5
= 5/7 x 5/20
= (5 x 5) / (7 x 20)
= 25 / 140 (divide numerator and denominator by 5)
= 5 / 28
