Identify if the sequence is arithmetic or geometric. Then find the next number in the sequence. -3, 9, -27, 81, ...

-243

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem you will need to know the difference between an arithmetic and a geometric.

    An arithmetic is a sequence where a person is adding the same number over and over again so lets say you start with 1 and the common difference (the number being added each time) is 2, the sequence will look something like this 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and so on.

    A geometric sequence is when the same number is being multiplied over and over again. So lets say that the number we start with is 2 and you are multiplying by three every single time, so you would get a sequence looking like this 2, 6, 18, 54 and so on.

    We can see in the sequence that the number that is being multiplied over and over again is -3 so the answer is a geometric sequence.

    Now that we know that it is a geometric sequence we will multiply the last number which is 81 by -3 which will get us -243

the answer is 844

step-by-step explanation:

it is 844 because if you add 836.50 + 7.5 you will get 844

3

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
