Step-by-step explanation:

We have the sequence

{

−

16

,

4

,

−

1

,

⋯

}

By looking at the first three terms of the sequence, we can already see a pattern.

Starting at -16, each term has its sign reversed, and is divided by 4.

Hence the sequence can be written as:

{

−

16

,

−

16

(

−

1

4

)

,

−

16

(

−

1

4

)

2

,

⋯

}

So the formula for the

step-by-step explanation:

hans did not square the 40-unit side; he merely multiplied it by 2.   incorrect.

the 1st digit is in the 100s n its 1

step-by-step explanation:

3,589÷18 = 199.389

so the first digit of the quotient is in the 100s n its 1
