Answer: <em>230 - the total amount of sweets.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Adrian received 8 pieces of sweets;</em>

<em>Ben got 5 pieces of sweets;</em>

<em>Charlie received 10 pieces of sweets.</em>

<em>The sum of all parts:</em>

8 + 5 + 10 = 23

<em>Let's calculate how many parts Charlie got more than Adrian:</em>

10 - 8 = 2

<em>It is also known that Charlie received 20 more sweets than Adrian. This means that you can calculate how many sweets are in one part.</em>

<em>20 : 2 = 10</em>

<em>Now we can calculate the total amount of sweets:</em>

<em>10 × 23 = 230</em>

What is the 7th term of the geometric sequence where a1 = -5 and a5 = -1,280?
8_murik_8 [283]
Any geometric sequence can be expressed as:

a(n)=ar^(n-1), a=initial term, r=common ratio, n=term number.

Here we are give the initial term so we have to solve to solve for the common ratio...

a(5)=-1280 and a(1)=-5 so

-1280=-5r^(5-1)

-1280=-5r^4

256=r^4

256^(1/4)=r

4=r, so our sequence is:

a(n)=-5(4^(n-1)), so the 7th term is:

a(7)=-5(4^6)

a(7)= -20480
