<h3>Answer:   -64</h3>

=======================================

Work Shown:

We have a geometric sequence

a = first term = -1

r = common ratio = (second term)/(first term) = 2/(-1) = -2

nth term

a(n) = a*(r)^(n-1)

a(n) = -1*(-2)^(n-1)

Now plug in n = 7 to get the 7th term

a(n) = -1*(-2)^(n-1)

a(7) = -1*(-2)^(7-1)

a(7) = -1*(-2)^6

a(7) = -1*(64)

a(7) = -64

The first seven terms are

-1, 2, -4, 8, -16, 32, -64

To get each new term, we multiply the last term by the common ratio -2

First, we need to find the rule for the sequence.
There’s not really an exact way to do this, you just have to look for a pattern.
This sequence follows the following notation:
An= -(-2^(n-1))
Then, we can plug 7 in for n.
A7 = -(-2^(n-1))
A7=-(-2^6)
A7=-64

F(x) = 9 + 4x f(0) = f(-1) = Find the value of x for which f(x) =6 x=
puteri [66]

Answer: x=-3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know f(x)=6, we can set it equal to the equation.

6=9+4x           [subtract 9 on both sides]

-3=4x              [divide both sides by 4]

x=-3/4
