Answer:
- an = 3(-2)^(n-1)
- 3, -6, 12, -24, 48
Step-by-step explanation:
These variable names, a1, r, are commonly used in relationship to geometric sequences. We assume you want the terms of a geometric sequence with these characteristics.
a1 is the first term. r is the ratio between terms, so is the factor to find the next term from the previous one.
a1 = 3 (given)
a2 = a1×r = 3×(-2) = -6
a3 = a2×r = (-6)(-2) = 12
a4 = a3×r = (12)(-2) = -24
a5 = a4×r = (-24)(-2) = 48
The first 5 terms are 3, -6, 12, -24, 48.

The explicit formula for the terms of a geometric sequence is ...
an = a1×r^(n -1)
Using the given values of a1 and r, the explicit formula for this sequence is ...
an = 3(-2)^(n -1)
Polynomials can have double roots, in fact they're pretty common. if you get a reasonable zero it costs very little time to try it again for a double root. answer is the second choice
Answer:
262
Step-by-step explanation:
3(90) - 8 = x
270-8 = x
262 = x
The first column. The rule for that column is y = x * -4.
Answer:
-17
Step-by-step explanation:
it's telling you to replace x with -3.
You have to replace all the x's with -3.
(-3)2 + (-3) - 8 = -17
