Answer:

3.3 and -0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the quadratic formula plug in the a, b, and c values in this equation into the formula and you get 3.3 as a result. Not sure where the 0.3 part came from since it is not the opposite equation, but 3.3 is for sure correct. Work is linked below.

What is the 6th term of the geometric sequence where a1 = 1,024 and a4 = −16? 1 −0.25 −1 0.25

VLD [36.1K]

The n-th term is given by

$a_n=a_1\cdot r^{(n-1)}\qquad\text{where r is the common ratio}$

Then we can find the common ratio from the given terms.

$\dfrac{a_4}{a_1}=\dfrac{a_1\cdot r^{(4-1)}}{a_1}=r^3=\dfrac{-16}{1024}=\left(\dfrac{-1}{4}\right)^3\\\\r=\dfrac{-1}{4}\\\\a_6=1024\left(\dfrac{-1}{4}\right)^5=-1$

The appropriate choice is -1.

How to get a square root of a given number

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

The square root of a number is defined as $\pm y=\sqrt[2]{x}$ where $(\pm y)^{2}$ gives the original number. For example, $\sqrt{4}=\pm2$ because $2^{2}=2*2=4$ and $(-2)^{2}=-2*-2=4$ .
