PLEASE HELP! Will give brainliest 5. What is the next term of the sequence -3, 6, -12, 24,... , and what it's arithmetic sequence?

a(5)=-48

Step-by-step explanation:

I think u r confused

this sequence is geometric not arithmetic

HOw we know that ??

when we get a common difference  that must Be equal  

d=6+3=9  not equal to  d=-12-6=-18

So it is not arithmetic

but when we get the common ratio that also must be equal

r=6/-3=-12/6=24/-12=-2   equal

So it is geometric

By using this equation:

a(n)=a*r^(n-1)

and we have a=-3 , r=-2

Then       a(n)=-3*(-2)^(n-1)

To get the next term:

a(5)=-3*(-2)^(5-1)

a(5)=-3*(-2)^(4)

a(5)=-3*16=-48

I really hope this helps <3

d. $180

step-by-step explanation:

if the dimensions of the room is 9ft by 12 ft, we have the area of the floor as,

so the area of the floor is 108 square feet, converting that into square yards we get,

the cost of carpet is $15 per square yard, therefore the cost of carpet for 12 square yards is,

hence, the cost of carpet is $180.

assuming the dimensions of the room be,

15 ft by 12 ft

so, the area of the floor of that room is,

we can convert 180 square feet into square yards, we know that,

1 sq ft = 0.111 sq yard

so, 180 square feet is,

so the area of floor is 20 square yards.

now, the cost of carpet is 15 dollars per square yard, therefore the cost of carpet for 20 square yards is,

so, it will cost $300.
