<u>Given</u>:
The given expression to find the nth term of the sequence is 
The first term of the sequence is 
We need to determine the third term of the sequence.
<u>Second term:</u>
The second term of the sequence can be determined by substituting n = 2 in the nth term of the sequence.
Thus, we have;




Thus, the second term of the sequence is -40.
<u>Third term:</u>
The third term of the sequence can be determined by substituting n = 3 in the nth term of the sequence.
Thus, we have;



Thus, the third term of the sequence is 120.
(128 oz) * (2 oranges)/(5 oz) * (1 bag)/(11.5 oranges) * $3.49/bag ≈ $15.54
Note that we have assumed 11.5 oranges per bag, and that partial bags are available.
If Chantal must buy whole bags of oranges, 5 bags will be needed and the cost will be $17.45.
Answer:
−8^4+2^3−4^2+6
Step-by-step explanation:
Distribute the - to 8x^4-5x^3+6x^2-2x:
-8x^4+5x^3-6x^2+2x
Now simplify:
-3x^3+2x^2+4x-8x^4+5x^3-6x^2+2x= −8^4+2^3−4^2+6
Hope this helps!
Answer:
33:79
Step-by-step explanation:
We are told that a factory is going to hire 33 new employees.
and the total applicants is 79
In this problem, we want to represent the situation as a ratio of new hires to applicants
Since the question says new hires to applicants
Hence, the ratio will be
33 to 79
or
33/79, we can simplify this as
33:79
