Answer is C as all other choices are even numbers therefore make the equation non-integer.
Answer:
a14 = -40,960
Step-by-step explanation:
The sequence has a first term of 5 and a common ratio of -10/5 = -2, so the n-th term is given by ...
an = a1·r^(n-1)
an = 5·(-2)^(n-1)
The 14th term is then ...
a14 = 5·(-2)^(14-1) = -5·2^13 = -5·8192
a14 = -40,960
The independent variable (the one they want) is the # of hours worked, since that determines the price.

A. x = -6
6-x-x = 18
6-2x =18
-2x = 12
x = -6
