-2 = -(x-8)
-2 = -x + 8   ( - * + = -  and - * - = + )

-2 - 8 = -x +8 - 8
-2 - 8 = -x 
-(2+8) = - x
-10 = -x     | * (-1)

The 13th term of a geometric sequence is 16, 384 and the first term is 4. What is the common ratio?
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

\large \boxed{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the nth term of a geometric sequence is

aₙ = a₁rⁿ⁻¹

In your geometric sequence, a₁ = 4 and a₁₃ = 16 384.

\begin{array}{rcl}16384 & = & 4r^{(13 - 1)}}\\16384 & = & 4r^{12}\\4096 & = & r^{12}\\3.6124 & = & 12 \log r\\0.30102 & = & \log r\\r & = & 10^{0.30102}\\ & = & \mathbf{2}\\\end{array}\\\text{The common ratio is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{2}}$}

Check:

\begin{array}{rcl}16384 & = & 4(2)^{12}\\16384 & = & 4(4096)\\16384 & = & 16384\\\end{array}

It checks.
