The common ratio in a geometric sequence is the ratio between 2 consecutive terms:
-8/2=-4,
then the sequence is 2, -8, 32, -128, -512, 2048, ...
let

be the nth term of the sequence, then




.
.
.
so clearly

and, clearly n are integers >0, since we have a 1st term, a second term and so on... of a sequence (we do not have a "zero'th term"!
Answer:
<span>C. an=2(-4)^n-1; all integers where n>0</span>
Answer:
Total eclipse was
minutes longer than in 2005.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given in the question that total eclipse in 2003 lasted
minutes and in 2005 it lasted 3/8 of a minute.

So we have to subtract the duration in 2003 by duration in 2005
Total time taken in 2003- total time taken in 2005





minutes
