The geometric rule for the nth term of the geometric sequence for which a1 =−6 and a5=−486 is -6 × 3^(n - 1)
<h3>The nth term of a geometric sequence</h3>
First term, a1 = -6
Fifth term, a5 = -486
a5 = ar^(n - 1)
-486 = -6 × r^(5-1)
-486 = -6r⁴
r⁴ = -486 / 6
r⁴ = 81
r = 4√81
r = 3
Geometric rule:
nth term = ar^(n-1)
nth term = -6 × 3^(n - 1)

The answer is “x”. “x” represents the missing number in the problem.
Example:
16+x=20
The missing number, 4, would be represented as x. Hope this helps!
Answer:
the previous population was 62,000.
Step-by-step explanation:
The current population of a city = 83,700
The population of a city has increased by 35% since it was last measured.
We have to calculate the previous population before increasing 35%.
Let the previous population be p
p +(35% × p) = 83,700
p + 0.35p = 83,700
1.35p = 83,700
p =
p = 62,000
Therefore, the previous population was 62,000.
Both fractions have the same denominator so it's going to be easy. First set up your equation:
Add the whole numbers:
Now add the fractions:
add both together:
is an improper fraction so change it:
Since 6 is one more than 5, add 1 to the whole number and subtract the numerator and denominator(6 - 5 = 1) and make the remaining the new numerator. That leaves you with 
Your answer is
They belong to the number group of INTEGERS
