513560652
Step-by-step explanation:
We can find the common ratio
12/-4 = -3
r =-3
The explicit formula is
an =a1 r^(n-1)
an = -4 * (-3)^ (n-1)
We want the 18 th term
a 18 = -4 (-3) ^ 17
513560652
It equals 169
Anyways thanks for points
Since we’ve been given a ratio, 3:8, we can convert that into a fraction and form an equation from it:
= 
The reason the numerator on the second fraction is 27/3 is because the team scored 27 points, not 27 baskets.
Simplify (Also replace the ? with an unknown variable):
= 
Cross multiply:
3*n = 9*8
Simplify:
3n = 72
Divide both sides by 3:
n = 24
The team had 33 three point tries, 9 successes, and 24 fails.
