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.

HELP PLEASE ILL GIVE U 26 POINTS
eduard

Answer:

1. (-3,2) and (-1,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Reflection over x axis results in change y-coordinates to opposite sign and x-coordinates remain as is

<u>So the coordinates become:</u>

  • A(-3, -2) → A'(-3, 2)
  • B(-1, -2) → B'(-1, 2)

Correct option is the first one

-1= -1/7

0=0

1= 1/7

2= 2/7

Step-by-step explanation:

it gives you a function of 1/7 so you multiply it by x and u get the g(x) also know as Y
