Answer:
The numbers or measurements being compared are called the terms of the ratio. A rate is a special ratio in which the two terms are in different units. ... When rates are expressed as a quantity of 1, such as 2 feet per second or 5 miles per hour, they are called unit rates.
Step-by-step explanation:
The y-value is the one on the right. Therefore, the y-value of P is 6. Following the rule, the y-value of P' is 6-16= -10.
I guess you are asking to find the sum of the first 8 terms. If so, then:
Sum = a₁(1-rⁿ)/(1-r), where a₁ is the 1st term, r=common ratio and n=number of terms:
the 1st term a₁ =3
common ratio r = - 2 (since -6/3 = - 2, and 12/-6 = - 2, etc.)
Sum = 3[(1- (-2)⁸]/(1-2) = 3(1- 256)/(1/2)
Sum = -1530
