There's nothing to multiply. However, you can factor it to get (x + 4)(x - 4).
Answer: m = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
-3m(4) = -12
Answer:
The explicit form is 
Step-by-step explanation:
The explicit form of a geometric sequence is given by:

where an is the nth term, a is the first term of the sequence and r is the common ratio.
In this case:
a=162
The value of the common ratio is obtained by dividing one term by the previous term.
For the first and second terms:
108/162=2/3
For the second and third terms (In order to prove that 2/3 is the common ratio)
72/108=2/3
Therefore:
r=2/3
Replacing a and r in the formula:

F(x)=3x^2 - 2x +1
f(-1)=3(-1)^2-2(-1)+1
f(-1)=3( 1 ) +2+1
f(-1)=3+3
f(-1)=6
