Since a(n)=-3(a(n-1)) the common ratio is -3, and a(1)=-3 so
a(n)=-3(-3^(n-1)) so the first four terms are:
-3, 9, -27, 81
Yes; they have the same side lengths and angles
Answer:
I dont like sqaures.
Step-by-step explanation: Their pointy.
You said that n = 5m
AND n = m + 36 .
Well then, if those two quantities are both equal to 'n', then
they must be equal to each other, and we can write
5m = m + 36
Subtract 'm' from each side: 4m = 36
Divide each side by 4 : m = 9 .
OK. We're half done.
Way back at the beginning, the first thing you told me
was that 'n' is 5 times the value of 'm'.
n = 5 (m)
Well ! Now we know what 'm' is, so
n = 5 (9) = 45 .
Let's translate each sentence into "Math".
Pineapple = p
Orange = x
is means equal
Pineapple is 7 times as heavy as an orange: p = 7x
Pineapple weighs 870 grams more than orange. p = 870 + x
Substitute p = 7x into the second equation:
7x = 870 + x
Subtract x from both sides
6x = 870
divide by 6
x = 145
The orange weighs 145 grams.
The pineapple weights 7 times the orange = 7(145) = 1015 grams.
