1. Only true to division. Most likely though when multiplying it's more helpful to have the denominators the same.
2. True
3. False
4. True
The answer is 3 I dont get how but thats what the mathcounts site says.
Answer:
Correct answer: Third answer aₙ = -5 · 2⁽ⁿ ⁻ ¹⁾
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
-5, -10, -20, -40,.....
First term a₁ = -5
Second term a₂ = -10
Third term a₃ = -20
Common ratio or quotient
q = a₂ / a₁ = a₃ / a₂ = -10 / -5 = -20 / -10 = 2
q = 2
First term a₁
Second term a₂ = a₁ · q = a₂ · q²
Third term a₃ = a₂ · q = a₁ · q³
.....................................................
n-th term aₙ = a₁ · q⁽ⁿ ⁻ ¹⁾
aₙ = -5 · 2⁽ⁿ ⁻ ¹⁾
God is with you!!!
