Answer:
b. an = 2 • (-3)^(n - 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Before we test a solution or two, we can easily discard most of them.
We see the values alternate of signs (-5 for the 2nd term and +162 for the 5th term)... so the progression factor has to be negative (in order to alternate sign). <u>That already excludes answers A and C.</u>
Normally, a geometric progression has the (n-1) exponent, not (n+1), so our chances seem to be better with B.
We can test both D and B with n = 2, to obtain -6
Let's test answer D before:

The result is -54, not -6... so it's not the right result.
Let's test answer B then:

Right! Let's verify with n=5 to get 162:

Confirmed, answer is B. an = 2 • (-3)^(n - 1)
You just have to plug in each value of x into the equation of 3x^2. Since y is a function, it is also written as f(x)
Answer: C≈6.28

Answer:
It can be the line of best fit because it closely fits the data points.
Step-by-step explanation:
The line is near the data points and goes down from left to right just like the data points. It is just above or just below the data points.
