Since it is a geometric sequence each term will be a specific multiple of the term preceding it, called the common ratio...
126/42=378/126=1134/378=3
The sequence is a(n)=a(3)^(n-1) and we know the second term is 42 so:
42=a(3)^(2-1)
42=3a
a=14
So the first term is 14.
Step-by-step explanation:
the easiest approach with a given point and the slope of the line is the point-slope form :
y - y1 = a(x - x1)
where "a" is the slope, and (x1, y1) is a point on the line.
so, we get
y - -8 = 4(x - -3)
y + 8 = 4(x + 3)
if we need the slope-intercept form
y = ax + b
we now simplify the point-slope form
y + 8 = 4x + 4×3 = 4x + 12
y = 4x + 4
