The ratio is common, so you could write:
a1 * r^4 = a^5 (you do r^4 because there are 4 times you need to multiply by the ratio to get from a1 to a5)
Plug in the values:
3 * r^4 = 48
Divide by 3:
r^4 = 16
Take the fourth root of both sides:
r = 2
The common ratio is 2.
The standard form of a circle is

where h and k are the center and x and y are the coordinates you're given. We need to solve for the radius to finish this off correctly. Filling in, we have

and

, giving us that

. Therefore, our equation is
6 · e^(4x - 2) = 3
e^(4x - 2) = .5
ln e^(4x - 2) = ln (.5)
4x - 2 = ln (.5)
4x = ln (.5) + 2
x = (ln (.5) + 2)/4
x = 0.3267
x ≈ 0.327
Answer: B
Since there is a shortage in the budget in 2005 by 553,656,965,393.18, the total debt that of the United States in 2005 will be the public debt by 2004 added with this deficit in the budget. Having said that, the public debt by 2004 should be equal to,
$ 7.9327 x 10^12
