The 4-6 in the Parenthesis [2(4-6)2] (PEMDAS)
Find an explicit formula for the geometric sequence −1,−7,−49,−343,...-1\,,-7\,,-49\,,-343,... −1,−7,−49,−343
umka21 [38]
So we see it times 7 each time
starting with -1
geometric
an=a1(r)^(n-1)
a1=first term
r=common ratio
first term is -1
r=7

is the formula
also can look like this:
Remember that a percentage means "parts out of 100". 24% in decimal form is therefore 0.24, because it is 24 out of the possible 100, or 1.0. To find 24% of 75, you just multiply 0.24 times 75:
75 x 0.24 = 18
Answer:
first 2, second 4, third 3, and the last one 1
