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>

Does (-15, -691) make the equation y = -51x - 74 true?<br><br><br>​
dimulka [17.4K]

Well, we can input both variables to check and see if the numbers hold.

-691 = -51(-15) - 74

-691 = 765-64

-691 = 701

(-15, -691) does not make the equation true.

Answer:

\boxed{\bold{x>3}}

Step By Step Explanation:

Subtract 2 From Both Sides

\bold{7x+2-2

Simplify

\bold{7x

Subtract 9x From Both Sides

\bold{7x-9x

Simplify

\bold{-2x

Multiply Both Sides By -1 (Reverse Inequality)

\bold{\left(-2x\right)\left(-1\right)>\left(-6\right)\left(-1\right)}

Simplify

\bold{2x>6}

Divide Both Sides By 2

\bold{\frac{2x}{2}>\frac{6}{2}}

Simplify

\bold{x>3}
