Answer: Choice D

This basically says "the nth term is found by computing math, aka evaluating some function, based on the (n-1)th term".
As an example, we could have a function that simply squares the input
Let's say we started at 5. It squares to 25 which in turns squares to 625, and so on. Each new term is based on the old term. Namely, we squared the old n-1 term to get the new nth term.
Remember you can do anything to an equation as long as you do it to both sides
(y/4)-49=-9
isolate the variable
add 49 to both sides
y/4=40
multiply both sides by 4 to clear fraction
y=160
Answer:
y -8 = -5(x -6)
Step-by-step explanation:
The point-slope form of the equation for a line is generally written ...
y -k = m(x -h)
for slope m and point (h, k).
The slope of your parallel line is the same as the slope of the reference line, -5. So your equation is ...
y -8 = -5(x -6)
Im not sure what the question is asking but my guess would be c)18.
