Find the formula an for the nth term of the geometric sequence satisfying the following conditions: a1 = -2,

Mathematics
1 answer:
Alexeev081 [22]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a1 = - 2

an = a1 * r^(n - 1)

a6 = -486

-486 = - 2 * r^(6-1)                      Divide by 2

243 = r^5

The largest value that r could be is 3.

4^5 = 1024

(243)^(1/5) = 3

So the general formula

an = -2*(3)^(n - 1)

Explain how you can use the triangle sum theorem to find the measures of the angles of an equilateral triangle
Rudiy27
The triangle Sum Theorem says that the sum of all the angles in a triangle has to equal 180 degrees. Since all three sides (and, consequently, angles) in an equilateral triangle are the same, you can divide 180 by 3 to find the measure of any angle of an equilateral triangle (60 degrees).

Factor -24a3b3c3 - 84a4b2c.
sammy [17]

Answer:

-12a³b²c ( 2bc² + 7a)

Step-by-step explanation:

To factorize, we must separate the highest common factors between the products that make up the given expression. To get the highest common factor between the two products,

-24a3b3c3 = -2 * 2 *2 * 3 * a³ *b² *b * c² * c

- 84a4b2c = -2 * 2 *3 * 7 * a³ * a *b² * c

The common elements are  -2, 2, 3, a³, b², c

The product of the common elements

= -12a³b²c

Hence, factorizing

-24a3b3c3 - 84a4b2c = -12a³b²c ( 2bc² + 7a)
