Answer:  The correct option is (D) 196608.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the 9th term of the following sequence :

3,    -12,    48,    -192,    .    .    .

Let a(n) denote the n-th term of the given sequence.

Then, a(1) = 3,  a(2) = -12,  a(3) = 48,  a(4) = -192,   .   .   .

We see that

\dfrac{a(2)}{a(1)}=\dfrac{-12}{3}=-4,\\\\\\\dfrac{a(3)}{a(2)}=\dfrac{48}{-12}=-4,\\\\\\\dfrac{a(4)}{a(3)}=\dfrac{-192}{48}=-4,~~.~~.~~.

So, we get

\dfrac{a(2)}{a(1)}=\dfrac{a(3)}{a(2)}=\dfrac{a(4)}{a(3)}=~~.~~.~~.~~=-4.

That is, the given sequence is a GEOMETRIC one with first term a = 3  and common ratio d= -4.

We know that

the n-th term of an geometric  sequence with first term a and common ratio r is given by

a(n)=ar^{n-1}.

Therefore, the 9th term of the given sequence is

a(9)=ar^{9-1}=3\times(-4)^8=3\times 65536=196608.

Thus, the 9th term of the given sequence is 196608.

Option (D) is CORRECT.

My teacher gave us the answers but we just need to show the work for solving the problems. Please help me
Radda [10]

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

16x + 22 = 134 ..... because if the two lines are parallel alternative exterior angles are congruent

16x = 134 - 22

16x = 112

\frac{16x}{16}  =  \frac{112}{16}

x = 7

hope it helps

for any question comment me ❤❤

A line is drawn through (–4, 3) and (4, 3). Which describes whether or not the line represents a direct variation? The line repr
Dovator [93]

Answer:

Line does not represent direct variation.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the line goes thru the origin, it represents direct variation.  Otherwise it does not.

Start by finding the slope of this line:

As we move from (-4,3) to (4,3), x increases by 8 but y does not change.  Thus, the slope is 0/8, or just 0.  Thus, the equation of this line is y = 3, which does NOT go thru the origin; thus, the points given do NOT represent direct variation.
