Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the sequence -1,-7,-49,-343,....

We are to find the nth term of the sequence

dn = ar^n-1

a is the first term = -1

r is the common ration = -7/-1 = -49/-7 = 7

n is the number of terms

Substitute

dn = -1(7)^n-1

dn = -7^n-1

hence the nth term of the sequence is dn = -7^n-1

I have this question that i dont get plz help-2|2.2x-3.3|=-6.6

maria [59]

Step-by-step explanation:

Absolute value of a number gives the positive quantity of the number.

For instance,

$|3|=3, |-3|=3$

From this example, therefore we know that

$\text{If }|x|=a,\text{ then }x=a\text{ or } -a.$

--------------------------------------------

In this question,

$-2|2.2x-3.3|=-6.6$

$|2.2x-3.3|=3.3$

$2.2x-3.3=3.3\text{ or } -3.3$

$2.2x=3.3+3.3 \text{ or }-3.3+3.3$

$2.2x=6.6\text{ or } 0$

$x=3\text{ or } 0$
