The common ratio in a geometric sequence is the ratio between 2 consecutive terms:

-8/2=-4, 

then the sequence is  2, -8, 32, -128, -512, 2048, ...

let a_n be the nth term of the sequence, then 

a_1= 2
a_2=2(-4)
a_3=2(-4)(-4)=2(-4)^{2}
a_4=2(-4)(-4)(-4)=2(-4)^{3}
.
.
.
so clearly a_n=2(-4)^{n-1}

and, clearly n are integers >0, since we have a 1st term, a second term and so on... of a sequence (we do not have a "zero'th term"!

Answer:

<span>C. an=2(-4)^n-1; all integers where n>0</span>

Answer:

x = -5 or x= 2

Step-by-step explanation:

|-4x-6| = 14

There are two solutions, one positive and one negative

-4x-6 = 14       -4x-6 = -14

Add 6 to each side

-4x-6+6 = 14+6       -4x-6+6 = -14+6

-4x = 20                      -4x = -8

Divide by -4

-4x/-4 = 20/-4               -4x/-4 = -8/-4

x = -5                                x = 2
