Find the eighth term of the geometric sequence, given the first term and common ratio. a1=6 and r=-1/3

a(8) = -0.0027

Step-by-step explanation:

The most general formula for a geometric sequence is a(n) = a(1)*r^(n-1), where a(1) is the first term and r is the common ratio.

Here, the formula becomes a(n) = 6*(-1/3)^(n-1).

Substitute 8 for n to find the eighth term:

a(8) = 6*(-1/3)^(8-1), or a(8) = 6(-1/3)^7, or a(8) = -0.0027

false

step-by-step explanation:

false.   two legs of the trapezoid would be congruent, but the other two would not.   were all the legs congruent, then we'd have a square; were the 2 shorter sides congruent and the 2 longer sides also congruent, we'd have a rectangle.
