2 times what = -4?
-2 does
-2 x 2 = -4

-4 time what = 8?
Again, -2.
-2 x -4 = 8

You could do this over and over again or make a table, or you can make a function.
f(n) = f(1) • r^{n-1}
f(1) in this case is 2.
f(n) = 2 • r^{n-1}
r is rate of change, which is -2.
f(n) = 2 • -2^{n-1}
To find the 12th number in the sequence, just substitute n for 12.
f(12) = 2 • -2^{12-1}
f(12) = 2 • -2^{11}
-2^11 = -2048
2 x -2048 = -4096
So the 12th number in the sequence will be -4096.

Answer: 57 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the areas of the two individual rectangles and then add that up to find the area of the figure:

Rectangle A:                                                             Rectangle B:

= Length * Width                                                       = 11.5 * 3

= 7.5 * 3                                                                     = 34.5ft²

= 22.5 ft²

Area of figure:

= 22.5 + 34.5

= 57 ft²
