Answer:
The opposite of 12 is -12.
Step-by-step explanation:
-12, -11, -10, -9, -8, -7, -6, -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12
All you have to do is do the negative version of that same original number.
1
Because there are no squares
helen works 16 hours
caroline = 3 which is 24 hours
24/3 = 8
1 = 8 hours
8 hours x 2 = 16 hours

We are given the geometric series:
-1, - 2, - 4, - 8.......
In the geometric series above, the common ratio = second term/first term = -2/-1
= 2
Where common ratio is greater than 1(r >1)
The sum of a geometric progression =
Sn = a(rⁿ -1)/r - 1
In the question we are asked to find the number of term = n
Sn = -31
a = -1
r = 2
Hence,
-31 = -1(2ⁿ - 1)/2 - 1
-31 = -1(2ⁿ - 1)
-31 = -2ⁿ + 1
2ⁿ = 1 + 31
2ⁿ = 32
2ⁿ = 2^5
n = 5
Therefore, the number of terms(n) = 5
