Answer:

a_{n} = 4 (-5)^{n-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a common ratio r between consecutive terms , that is

r = - 20 ÷ 4 = 100 ÷ - 20 = - 5

This indicates the sequence is geometric with nth term ( explicit formula )

a_{n} = a₁ (r)^{n-1}

where a₁ is the first term and r the common ratio

Here a₁ = 4 and r = - 5 , then

a_{n} = 4 (-5)^{n-1}

nekit [7.7K]
CINEMA A sells each movie pass for $5.50, and CINEMA B sells each movie pass for $5.60.

To find the cost of each pass in Cinema A, all you would have to do it divide 66 by 12, where you would get 5.5, which in other words would be $5.50. And to find the cost of each pass in Cinema B, you wound divide 28 by 5,and you would get 5.6, which is in other words, $5.60.

You need 20 pounds of grass seed to plant grass inside the baseball diamond below. About how many pounds of grass seed
taurus [48]

Answer:

13 pounds of grass.

Step-by-step explanation:

You need 20 pounds of grass seed to plant inside the baseball diamond.

The Baseball Diamond is a square of side = 90 ft

The Softball Diamond is a square of side = 60 ft

The ratio of the size of the Baseball Diamond to that of Softball Diamond is:

90: 60 = 3:2

If 3 represents 20 pounds, then 2 represents;

\frac{2}{3} × 20 = 13.33333333 pounds = 13 pounds (rounded to nearest pound)
