Your sequence
-8, 16/3, -32/9, 64/27
is a geometric sequence with first term -8 and common ratio
(16/3)/(-8) = (-32/9)/(16/3) = -2/3
The general term an of a geometric sequence with first term a1 and ratio r is given by
an = a1·r^(n-1)
For your sequence, this is
an = -8·(-2/3)^(n-1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Mechanical advantage can be defined using distances:
Mechanical advantage = input distance / output distance
Or it can be defined using forces:
Mechanical advantage = output force / input force
Solving for the output force:
Output force = mechanical advantage × input force
Plugging in values:
Output force = 2.2 × 202 N
Output force = 444.4 N
Question 1)
Given
The expression is 5xy
To determine
Find the value of 5xy if x = 2 and y = 3
5xy
substitute x = 2 and y = 3
5xy = 5(2)(3)
= 5(6)
= 30
Therefore, the value of 5xy = 30 if x = 2 and y = 3.
<em>Note: your remaining questions are not mentioned. But, the procedure may remain the same. Hopefully, your concept will be cleared anyway.</em>
Absolute value is simply the distance from zero on a number line. -44 is 44 away from zero, so the absolute value of -44 is
44
