Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The general formula for this sequence is a(n) = a(1)*(-1/4)^(n - 1). We don't yet know a(1).
If a(3) = 128, then 128 = a(1)*(-1/4)^(3 - 1), or
128 = a(1)*(1/16)
and so a(1) = 128/16
resulting in the specific formua a(n) = 8(-1/4)^(n - 1)
Now let's find a(7):
a(7) = 8(-1/4)^1 * (-1/4)^(6)
or
a(7) = 8(-1/4)^7
Answer:
52
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the smallest of the three numbers. Then the other two are (x+2) and (x+4). Their sum is ...
x + (x+2) +(x+4) = 162
3x = 156 . . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 6
x = 156/3 = 52
The smallest of the three numbers is 52.
___
I like to work problems like this by considering the average number. Here, the average of the three numbers is 162/3 = 54, the middle number of the three. Then the smallest of the three consecutive even numbers is 2 less, or 52.

Answer: 100+10+1
You basically place zeroes instead of the actual digit to find the value of each number.
Example:
