Answer:

  -108

Step-by-step explanation:

About the easiest way to do this for small values of n is to compute each of the terms using the given recurrence relation.

  a_1=4\\\\a_2=-3a_1=-3(4)=-12\\\\a_3=-3a_2=-3(-12)=36\\\\a_4=-3a_3=-3(36)=-108\\\\\boxed{a_4=-108}

_____

<em>Alternate solution</em>

You recognize that the recurrence relation describes a geometric sequence with a first term of 4 and a common ratio of -3. The n-th term of a geometric sequence is ...

  a_n=a_1\cdot r^{n-1} \qquad\text{for first term $a_1$ and common ratio $r$}

Then the 4th term will be ...

  a_4=4\cdot(-3)^{4-1}=4\cdot(-27)=-108

Malachai is doing a 20 miles bike ride. He has cycled 11 miles so far. What percentage of the the total distance has he cycled
Anestetic [448]
11 miles / 20 miles =.55
.55 x 100 = 55%
11/20 is the proportion and you multiply by 100 to gey a percent
another way to solve is
11/20 x 5/5 = 55/100 = 55%
you multiply by 5/5 because it is equal to one and it makes the denominator equal to 100 it also follows the rule that whatever you do to the top you must do with the bottom

Arrange the steps as you would to solve:
Lena [83]

Answer:

1) Add 3n to both sides

2) Subtract 5 from both sides

3) Divide both sides by 6

n=3

Step-by-step explanation:

3n+5=23-3n

+3n +3n

6n+5=23

-5 -5

6n=18

/6 /6

n=3
