Option C
The explicit formula for the arithmetic sequence is 
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that the arithmetic sequence is:
3, -3, -9, -15, -21, ...
To find: Explicit formula for the arithmetic sequence
<em><u>The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is given by:</u></em>

Where
is nth term of sequence
n is the term's location
is the first term of sequence
d is the common difference between terms
In an arithmetic sequence, the difference between successive terms is constant. This means that we can move from any term to the next one by adding a constant value.
In the given sequence:
3, -3, -9, -15, -21, ...

d = difference between any two terms in sequence

d = -3 - (3) = -6
Substituting the values in above formula,

Thus the explicit formula to find any term in sequence is found

Required
2A - 4B
To solve 2A - 4B, we first multiply matrix A by 2 and matrix B by 4
So, if
![A = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-1&9&2\\10&-10&2\\-5&6&-5\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=A%20%3D%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D-1%269%262%5C%5C10%26-10%262%5C%5C-5%266%26-5%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
![2A = 2 *\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-1&9&2\\10&-10&2\\-5&6&-5\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=2A%20%3D%202%20%2A%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D-1%269%262%5C%5C10%26-10%262%5C%5C-5%266%26-5%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)

If
![B = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}7&-1&-1\\6&-4&-3\\-10&10&-7\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=B%20%3D%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D7%26-1%26-1%5C%5C6%26-4%26-3%5C%5C-10%2610%26-7%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
then
![4B = 4*\left[\begin{array}{ccc}7&-1&-1\\6&-4&-3\\-10&10&-7\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=4B%20%3D%204%2A%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D7%26-1%26-1%5C%5C6%26-4%26-3%5C%5C-10%2610%26-7%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
![4B = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}28&-4&-4\\24&-16&-12\\-40&40&-28\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=4B%20%3D%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D28%26-4%26-4%5C%5C24%26-16%26-12%5C%5C-40%2640%26-28%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
So; 2A - 4B becomes
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-2&18&4\\20&-20&4\\-10&12&-10\end{array}\right] - \left[\begin{array}{ccc}28&-4&-4\\24&-16&-12\\-40&40&-28\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D-2%2618%264%5C%5C20%26-20%264%5C%5C-10%2612%26-10%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20-%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D28%26-4%26-4%5C%5C24%26-16%26-12%5C%5C-40%2640%26-28%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)

Hence, 2A - 4B is equivalent to
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-30&22&8\\-4&-4&16\\30&-28&18\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D-30%2622%268%5C%5C-4%26-4%2616%5C%5C30%26-28%2618%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
Answer 1 I am pretty sure
Answer:
Answer below
Step-by-step explanation:
Large numbers like 100 billion are cumbersome to write out in ordinary form (100,000,000,000) and so scientists use a shorthand notation called powers of ten. ... The exponent tells you how many times ten is to be multiplied by iteslf to equal the number you wish to write. For example, 100 can be written as 10x10 = 102.
Hope this helps!
