Answer:

a_n=-3 \cdot a_{n-1}

a_1=2

You gave the explicit form.

Step-by-step explanation:

You gave the explicit form.

The recursive form is giving you a term in terms of previous terms of the sequence.

So the recursive form of a geometric sequence is a_n=r \cdot a_{n-1} and they also give a term of the sequence; like first term is such and such number. All this says is to get a term in the sequence you just multiply previous term by the common ratio.

r is the common ratio and can found by choosing a term and dividing by the term that is right before it.

So here r=-3 since all of these say that it does:

-54/18

18/-6

-6/2

If these quotients didn't match, then it wouldn't be geometric.

Anyways the recursive form for this geometric sequence is

a_n=-3 \cdot a_{n-1}

a_1=2

ALGEBRAIC PROOF!!!! PLS HELP!!! The area of a rectangular blanket is 20 square feet. The blanket's length is (2x + 1) ft and the
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Length: 5 ft; width: 4 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

A = LW     formula for area of rectangle

(2x + 1)(2x) = 20      substitute length, width, and area into formula

4x² + 2x - 20 = 0      use the distributive property to multiply out left side

2x² + x - 10 = 0         divide both sides of equation by 2

(2x + 5)(x - 2) = 0        factor out trinomial

2x + 5 = 0  or  x - 2 = 0        use zero product rule to solve for x

2x = -5  or x = 2       subtract 5 from both sides; add 2 to both sides

x = -5/2  or  x = 2

We discard x = -5/2 since it would give negative length and width, and the length and width cannot be negative.

Length: 2x + 1 = 2(2) + 1 = 5

Width: 2x = 2(2) = 4

Length: 5 ft; width: 4 ft.
