Answer:

  an = 2·2^(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

There are simple tests to determine whether a sequence is arithmetic or geometric. The test for an arithmetic sequence is to check to see if the differences between terms are the same. Here the differences are 2, 4, 8, so are not the same.

The test for a geometric sequence is to check to see if the ratios of terms are the same. Here, the ratios are ...

  4/2 = 2

  8/4 = 2

  16/8 = 2

These ratios are all the same (they are "common"), so the sequence is geometric.

The general term of a geometric sequence with first term a1 and common ratio r is ...

  an = a1·r^(n-1)

Filling in the values for this sequence, we find the general term to be ...

  an = 2·2^(n-1)

HELP THIS is due in 30 mins Renaldo described the translation of the graph of f(x) = x2 related to g(x) = (x + 2)2 - 6 as 2 unit
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that we need to use the equation y=a(x-h)^2+k. This means that h=-2 instead of 2 otherwise it would've been (x-2)^2-6. So Renaldo made the mistake of identifying h as 2 instead of -2. The second mistake Renaldo made is that since k=-6, there should be a vertical shift of 6 units down not 2.

How can you tell if a equation is extraneous
geniusboy [140]
Do you mean an extraneous solution? I will tell you what I think. To tell if a solution is extraneous you need to go back to the original problem and check if there actually is a solution or if the solution is actually right. If not then it is extraneous.
