Hello :
<span>the nth term of a geometric sequence is :
Un = Up ×r^(n-p) . r is the common ratio
for : p=5 and n= 2
U5 = U2 ×r^3
16 = -2 r^3
r^3 = -8
but : -8 = (-2)^3
so : r = -2
Un = U2 × r^(n-2)
Un = -2 ×(-2)^(n-2)= (-2)^(n-2+1)
</span><span>the nth term of a geometric sequenceis : Un = (-2)^(n-1)</span>
1 gallon cost $15
1 quarts cost $4
1 quarts = 1/4 gallon
15x for number of gallon cans
2 cans at $4 each = $8
15x + 8 = 53
Subtract 8 from both sides:
15x = 53-8
15x = 45
Divide both sides by 15:
x = 45/15
x = 3
She bought 3 gallon cans of paint
Plus she bought 2 quart cans, which is equal to a half gallon.
She bought a total of 3.5 gallons of paint.
