I'll use multiples of 2 and 4 as an example:

Multiples of 2: 2, 4, 6, 8...

Multiples of 4: 4, 8, 12, 16...

The least common multiple in this case is 4. The LCM is always ≥ the largest starting number, which is 4 for this example. Therefore, the statement is true.

Hope this helps! :)

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

GT, GV, PT, PV, ET, and EV.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

The number of topics Travis has to chose from are 3 topics(G, P, E).

The number of ways Travis can study each topic are 2 ways(T, V).

Essentially, the number of combinations Travis is expected to be able to chose from is given as

The number of combinations = The number of topics * The number of ways

The number of combinations = 3 * 2

The number of combinations = 6

Therefore, the total possible combinations has to be

Find a4 for the arithmetic series with S4=-36 and a1=9

erastova [34]

ANSWER

The 4th term is -27

EXPLANATION

The sum of the first n-terms of an arithmetic sequence is

$S_n= \frac{n}{2} (2a_1+d(n-1))$

It was given that,

$S_4 = - 36$

$a_1 = 9$

$- 36= \frac{ 4}{2} (2 \times 9+d(4-1))$

$-36=2(18+3d)$

$-18=18+3d$

$-18 - 18 = 3d$

$3d = - 36$

$d = - 12$

The n-term is given by:

$a_n=a_1+ (n-1)d$

We substitute n=4 to get,

$a_4=9+ (4-1) \times -12$

$a_4=9+ 3\times -12$

$a_4=9 - 36$

$a_4= - 27$
