An=a1(r)^(n-1)
a1=first term
r=common ratio

so
firs term is -1

each is double the prevoius
r=2

an=-1(2)^n-1
8th term
a8=-1(2)^(8-1)
a8=-1(2)^7
a8=-1(128)
a8=-128
the 8th term is -128

Geometric sequence formula gn = g1 (r)^n - 1

To find the ratio you divide g2 by g1

G1 = first number in the series



To find g8 you just plug 8 instead of n

g8 = g1 (r)^8 - 1

g8 = -1 (2)^8 - 1

g8 = -128

Need help with number 5
tangare [24]

Answer:

  (3)  y = 4x

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for the equation not to change, the point (0, 0) must be on the original line and so on the line after dilation. The only equation with (0, 0) as a point on the line is y=4x.

Dilation about the origin moves all points away from the origin some multiple of their distance from the origin. If a point is on the origin, it doesn't move. We call that point the "invariant" point of the transformation. For the equation of the line not to change, the invariant point must be on the line to start with.

A rectangle has a length that is three times the width . The perimeter of the rectangle is 40 feet.what is the area of the recta
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

The area is 15 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

So you are going to need two different equations-

l = w(3)

2l + 2w = 40

Insert the first equation into the second-

2(3w) + 2w = 40

Simplify this equation-

6w + 2w = 40

8w = 40

Divide both sides by 5

w = 5

Solve first equation

l = 5(3)

l = 15

Then find the area-

5 x 15 = 75
