Answer: D 44
Step-by-step explanation:
The general form of the geometric sequence is

, where a sub n is the number term you're looking for (we're looking for the tenth term). a sub 1 is the first term in the sequence (ours is -6), r is the common ratio, and n-1 is the numbered term you're looking for minus 1. Our formula then looks like this:

. Simplify it to

. Take 2 to the 9th power then multiply it by -6 to get -3072. C is your answer.
Let
. Then


and substituting these into the ODE gives



Let
, so that
. Then the ODE is linear in
, with

Multiply both sides by
, so that the left side can be condensed as the derivative of a product:

Integrating both sides and solving for
gives

Integrate again to solve for
:

and finally, solve for
by multiplying both sides by
:

already accounts for the
term in this solution, so the other independent solution is
.
6 and 4,
8 and 12,
12 and 18
yes the ratios are equal (the ratio is 2:3 or 2/3)
