<u>Given</u>:
The given expression to find the nth term of the sequence is 
The first term of the sequence is 
We need to determine the third term of the sequence.
<u>Second term:</u>
The second term of the sequence can be determined by substituting n = 2 in the nth term of the sequence.
Thus, we have;
Thus, the second term of the sequence is -40.
<u>Third term:</u>
The third term of the sequence can be determined by substituting n = 3 in the nth term of the sequence.
Thus, we have;
Thus, the third term of the sequence is 120.

Answer:
382 square units
Step-by-step explanation:
The central four rectangles down the middle of the net are 9 units wide, and alternate between 8 and 7 units high. Then the area of those four rectangles is ...
9(8+7+8+7) = 270 . . . square units
The rectangles making up the two left and right "wings" of the net are 8 units high and 7 units wide, so have a total area of ...
2×(8)(7) = 112 . . . square units
Then the area of the figure computed from the net is ...
270 +112 = 382 . . . square units

<em>Additional comment</em>
You can reject the first two answer choices immediately, because they are odd. Each face will have an area that is the product of integers, so will be an integer. There are two faces of each size, so <em>the total area of this figure must be an even number</em>.
You may recognize that the dimensions are 8, 8+1, 8-1. Then the area is roughly that of a cube with dimensions of 8: 6×8² = 384. If you use these values (8, 8+1, 8-1) in the area formula, you find the area is actually 384-2 = 382. That area formula is A = 2(LW +H(L+W)).
That is negative since the elevator is decreasing. If the elevator was going up, it would be positive.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The average rate of change is the change in the number of visitors divided by the change in the number of months.
1. Change in number of visitors
Change in visitors = 182 -125 = 57 visitors
2. Change in number of weeks
Change in time = 5 - 2 = 3 months
3. Average rate of change
Cos -2x or -cos2x, it's the difference.
