Answer:
The explicit form is 
Step-by-step explanation:
The explicit form of a geometric sequence is given by:

where an is the nth term, a is the first term of the sequence and r is the common ratio.
In this case:
a=162
The value of the common ratio is obtained by dividing one term by the previous term.
For the first and second terms:
108/162=2/3
For the second and third terms (In order to prove that 2/3 is the common ratio)
72/108=2/3
Therefore:
r=2/3
Replacing a and r in the formula:

Answer:
y = - 1/2x + 1
Step-by-step explanation:
y+2= - 1/2x
Slope = -1/2
Point: (-2,2)
y-Intercept: 2 - (-1/2)(-2) = 2 - 1 = 1
Can you show the full question?
The graph of the function

is parabola with branches going down in the negative direction of y-axis.
The vertex of parabola has coordinates:

Then you can conclude that all x are possible, that means that the dimain is

and the maximum value of y is at the vertex, then the range is
![(-\infty,6]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%28-%5Cinfty%2C6%5D)
.The function is increasing for x<-2 and decreasing for x>-2 (since vertex is the maximum point).
When x=0, y=2.
Hence,
<span>The domain is {x|x ≤ –2} - false.
</span>
<span>The range is {y|y ≤ 6} - true.
</span>
<span>The function is increasing over the interval (–∞ , –2) - true.
</span>
<span>The function is decreasing over the interval (−4, ∞) - false.
</span>
<span>The function has a positive y-intercept - true.</span>
Answer:
x=5
Explanation:
We need to get x to stand by itself on one side of the equation.
4x-2 = 3x+3 ← add 2 to each side
4x = 3x+5 ← subtract 3x from each side
x = 5 ← final answer
