Answer:

f(n)=4(3)^{n-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first term be x, then the terms of the sequence are:

x,3x,9x,27x,81x,....

Since the fourth term is 108, we have

27x=108

\implies x=4

Hence the sequence becomes:

4,12,36,108,324,....

The explicit expression for a geometric expression is given by:

f(n)=ar^{n-1}

where a=4 and r=3

The required formula is:

f(n)=4(3)^{n-1}

I need help on this question

Hi,
Following the rules of PEMDAS you first subtract in the parentheses. 
(5-2)=3
Then multiply the parentheses.
(3)(-6)=-18
Solve the exponent.
-4^2=16
Then you add -18 and 16 to get -2. 
So the answer is B.-2.
I hope this helps.
