Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Choice A: -36 + (-8)
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find the equivalent expression to -36 - 8
The correct option is Choice A.
Choice A is -36 + (-8)
The reason is that the product of the signs + and - is -, i.e.
+ * - = -
Hence, + (-8) is the same thing as -8 and Choice A becomes -36 - 8
Given:
second term = 18
fifth term = 144
The nth term of a geometric sequence is:

Hence, we have:

Divide the expression for the fifth term by the expression for the second term:

Substituting the value of r into any of the expression:

Hence, the explicit rule for the sequence is:
