Answer:
<h3>dn = -7^n-1</h3>
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the sequence -1,-7,-49,-343,....
We are to find the nth term of the sequence
dn = ar^n-1
a is the first term = -1
r is the common ration = -7/-1 = -49/-7 = 7
n is the number of terms
Substitute
dn = -1(7)^n-1
dn = -7^n-1
hence the nth term of the sequence is dn = -7^n-1
you would use 1.5 packets, but that requires 2 packets.
1 packet in total would feed 8 people, and half of another would feed an extra 4. 4+8 = 12.
3/7 is in simplest form, because they are both prime numbers and have no factors.
N = 4.
I’m not sure if that was what you were asking though.
