Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Since p(x) = x² + 2 , if x ≤ 4
For x = 4 then this is included in the inequality x ≤ 4
whereas x > 4 does not include x = 4 but values greater than 4
Thus to evaluate x = 4 use p(x) = x² + 2

= 7.
Ratio means multiply/divide.
To get the next number, multiply number by common ratio.
To get a previous number, divide by common ratio.
Since we want the next number...
2nd term: 7 x -2 = -14
3rd term: -14 x -2 = 28
4th term: 28 x -2 = -56
5th term: -56 x -2 = 112
Keep going until 9th term!
