Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

80 = l(l - 2) = l2 - 2l. Solve the quadratic to find solutions l = 10 and l = -8. You can't have a negative side, so the length of the rectangle must be 10.

Given a term in the geometric sequence and the common ratio find the first five terms the explicit form and the recursive formul

Pani-rosa [81]

A1 = 4
a2 = 5a1 = 5 x 4 = 20
a3 = 5a2 = 5 x 20 = 100
a4 = 5a3 = 5 x 100 = 500
a5 = 5a4 = 5 x 500 = 2,500

Tn = ar^(n-1); where a = 4, r = 5
Tn = 4(5)^(n-1) = 4/5 (5)^n
Explicit formular is Tn = 4/5 (5)^n

Recursive formular is $a_{n+1} = 5a_{n-1}$
