A geometric sequence has a common ratio.

The formula for the nth term is

\sf{a_n =ar^{n-1} }

where,

  • an = nth term of the sequence,
  • a = first term of the sequence and
  • r = common ratio

<u>Given</u> -

  • A geometric sequence 2, -4, 8, ...

<u>To find</u> -

  • the 12th term of the given geometric sequence

<u>Solution</u> -

A.T.Q, a = 2 and r = -2

\rightarrow\sf{a_{12} =2(-2)^{12-1} }

\rightarrow\sf{a_{12 }=2(-2)^{11} }

\rightarrow\sf{a_{12} =2×(-2048) }

\rightarrow\bf{a_{12 }=-4096 }

<u>Hence, the 12th term is -4096</u>.

The first one is 135 per hour if you barely went 90 miles in a hour in a half, and the second one it is 1/3+1/3+1/3 you add 2 more thirds so it means you add 2 forths 1/4/+1/4+1/4=3/4 so you paint 3/4's of the wall

Which choice is equivalent to the quotient below shown here when x&gt;0?
qwelly [4]

Answer:

Choice B is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

The given radical division can be expressed in the following form;

\frac{\sqrt{16x^{3} } }{\sqrt{8x} }

Using the properties of radical division, the expression can be expressed in the following form;

\sqrt{\frac{16x^{3} }{8x} }=\sqrt{2x^{2} }

Simplifying further yields;

\sqrt{2x^{2} }=\sqrt{2}*\sqrt{x^{2} }=x\sqrt{2}

Choice B is thus the correct alternative

Find a rational number halfway in between the two numbers. three sevenths and one tenth
strojnjashka [21]
Answer:
The rational number is : 37/140

Explanation:
The first number given is three sevenths which can be written as 3/7
The second number given is one tenth which can be written as 1/10

Now, we want to get the midpoint between these two numbers. The midpoint can be calculated as follows:
midpoint = (first number + second number) / 2
midpoint = [(3/7) + (1/10)] / 2 
midpoint = 37/140

Hope this helps :)
