Answer:

An explicit representation for the nth term of the sequence:

f_n=-\frac{1}{2}\cdot \:4^{n-1}

It means, option (B) should be true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the geometric sequence

-\frac{1}{2},\:-2,\:-8,\:-32,...

A geometric sequence has a constant ratio, denoted by 'r', and is defined by

f_n=f_1\cdot r^{n-1}

Determining the common ratios of all the adjacent terms

\frac{-2}{-\frac{1}{2}}=4,\:\quad \frac{-8}{-2}=4,\:\quad \frac{-32}{-8}=4

As the ratio is the same, so

r = 4

Given that f₁ = -1/2

substituting r = 4, and f₁ = -1/2 in the nth term

f_n=f_1\cdot r^{n-1}

f_n=-\frac{1}{2}\cdot \:4^{n-1}

Thus, an explicit representation for the nth term of the sequence:

f_n=-\frac{1}{2}\cdot \:4^{n-1}

It means, option (B) should be true.

Which of the following is equivalent to (Cd) to the fifth power
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

The 3rd option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because of an exponent rule that goes:

(xy)^z = x^z(y^z)

The whole thing gets raised to the power. Therefore only the 3rd one works (ps. if you can mark as brainliest that would be amazing, but if not that's fine)
