No a polygon only has 3 sides and 3 angles.
Sequence: -4, 8, -16
rate of increase: -16/8 = -2
If you make A1 the first term in the sequence you must use (n-1) in the explicit formula. If you go backwards in the sequence to find A0 = 2 then you would use n.
The don't have A0 = 2 listed as an option so we use A1 = -4 and (n-1) terms.
An = -4(-2)^(n-1)
Solving for the 5th term A5, use n = 5
A5 = -4(-2)^(5-1)
A5 = -4(16)
A5 = -64
So the answer is B.
For this case we have the following solution.
x = gallons of water to be added
For the 10% solution we have:
0.1 * 8 = 0.8
Then, for 5% we have:
(0.8 / x + 8) = 0.05
Rewriting:
(0.8 / x + 8) = (5/100)
Answer:
An equation can be used to find x, the humber of gallons of water he should add is:
(0.8 / x + 8) = (5/100)
