Find the indicated term of each sequence by repeatedly multiplying the first term by the common ratio. Enter your answer to 5 decimal places if necessary. Use a calculator.
-40, 20,-10, ...; 5th term
The 5th term of the sequence is

-2 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

First term = a = -40

Common ratio = 2nd term / First term = 20 / -40 = -1/2

5th term = ar⁴

5th term = -40 × (-1/2)⁴

5th term = -40 × 1/16

5th term = -2 1/2

if you use photomath right away it will give you the answer not like this app that you have to wait for people.

step-by-step explanation:

to find if any function is an inverse of the other, put the first equation in as x in the next one. then simplify and solve. if at the end you get the statement y = x, then it is an inverse. if you get anything else, it is not.
