Answer: <u>A. 12/35....................</u>
The correct answer is the second choice
Answer:
b. an = 2 • (-3)^(n - 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Before we test a solution or two, we can easily discard most of them.
We see the values alternate of signs (-5 for the 2nd term and +162 for the 5th term)... so the progression factor has to be negative (in order to alternate sign). <u>That already excludes answers A and C.</u>
Normally, a geometric progression has the (n-1) exponent, not (n+1), so our chances seem to be better with B.
We can test both D and B with n = 2, to obtain -6
Let's test answer D before:

The result is -54, not -6... so it's not the right result.
Let's test answer B then:

Right! Let's verify with n=5 to get 162:

Confirmed, answer is B. an = 2 • (-3)^(n - 1)

MAD- 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Mean=7
Answer:
1/-14 or 1 over - 14
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation you need is: y2-y1 over x2-x1
So if you plug it in it becomes 2-1 over -17 -(-3) so 2 - 1 is 1 that's the easy part, 17 - (-3) is the hard part because you can't minus a negative. So it becomes -17+3 which is still -14 because you take the sign of the bigger number. Sorry if it's hard to understand :(
