Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a1 = -128/27

a2 = 32/9

a3 = -8/3

Therefore, a = a1 = -128/27

r = a3 ÷ a2 = -8/3 ÷ 32/9 = -3/4

So $a_n=ar^{n-1}=-\frac{128}{27} (-\frac{3}{4})^{n-1}$

Therefore, a4 = (-128/27) x (-3/4)^(4-1)

= (-128/27) x (-3/4)^3

= (-128/27) x (-27/64)

= 2

The area of circular garden is 530.66 feet2. What is the circumference of the garden? (Use 3.14 for .

iVinArrow [24]

$\bf \textit{area of a circle}\\\\
A=\pi r^2\quad 
\begin{cases}
r=radius\\
------\\
A=530.66
\end{cases}\implies 530.66=\pi r^2
\\\\\\
\cfrac{530.66}{\pi }=r^2\implies \sqrt{\cfrac{530.66}{\pi }}=r
\\\\\\
\textit{circumference of a circle}\\\\
C=2\pi r\qquad \implies C=2\pi \left( \sqrt{\cfrac{530.66}{\pi }} \right)$

When faced with an unknown variable in a maths problem, it is advised to find the subject formula and then use it to solve the equation to find the answer.

<h3>What is an Unknown Variable?</h3>

This refers to the type of variable in a given equation that has to be solved for because its properties or value is not known.

Hence, we can see that when faced with an unknown variable in a given math problem, it is better to find the subject formula, then input the value of this into an equation, to find the value of the variable.

The perimeter of a triangle is 42 yards. The first side is 5 yards less than the second side, and the third side is 2 yards less

Maru [420]

Let the second side be equal to x Then the first side is x-5 The third side will be x-5-2 = x-7 Therefore you add all the following sides and equate it to 42 yards. Ie x+x+5+x-7 = 42 3x=44 X= 44/3 Therefore the second sides length is 44/3 The first sides length is 44/3 -5 = 29/3 The third side is 44/3 -7 = 23/3
