Hey there!
40 / 1 + 3 ‐ (3 * 7) + 7 - 5
= 40 + 3 - (3 * 7) + 7 - 5
= 43 + 7 - 5 - 3 * 7
= 50 - 5 - 3 * 7
= 45 - 3 * 7
= 45 - 21
= 24
Answer: 24
Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

Answer: 1,953,125
This is one single value and it is just a bit under 2 million.
Or more accurately, it's a bit over 1.9 million.
===========================================================
Explanation:
- a = 5 = first term
- r = -5 = common ratio
Note that dividing any term by its previous term gets us the common ratio
- r = term2/term1 = -25/5 = -5
- r = term3/term2 = 125/(-5) = -5
The r value must stay the same the entire time, or else the sequence isn't geometric.
The nth term of any geometric sequence is a*(r)^(n-1). With the 'a' and 'r' values we found, we update that to 5(-5)^(n-1)
-----------------
To verify that is the correct nth term expression, plug in various values of n to compare it with the given sequence.
If we tried n = 2 for instance, then we find the 2nd term is
5(-5)^(n-1) = 5(-5)^(2-1) = -25
which matches what your teacher gave you. I'll let you verify the other terms.
-----------------
The last thing we need to do is plug in n = 9 and simplify
5(-5)^(n-1)
5(-5)^(9-1)
5(-5)^8
5(390625)
1,953,125 this is one single value (rather than 3 separate values)
Answer:
A. 43.5 units
Step-by-step explanation:
(8×4)+(½×3×4)+(½×3×2)+(½×5×1)
= 32+6+3+2.5
=43.5 units
Since they are vertical angles, they are congruent:
2x + 2 = 3x - 52
Solving:
54 = x
Hope this helps!
