Answer: see below
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Write each equation in y = mx + b format where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Left side: -4 ≤ x < -1
If you continue the line through the y-axis it will pass through (0, 4) --> b = 4
The rise over run is -1 over 1 --> m = -1
y = (-1)x + (4) --> y = -x + 4
Right side: -1 < x < 4
The line passes through (0,0) --> b = 0.
The rise over run is -1 over 1 --> m = -1
y = (-1)x + (0) --> y = -x
Answer:
<em>The common ratio of the geometric sequence is -4</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Geometric Sequence</u>
A geometric sequence is defined as a series of numbers that follow a fixed pattern: Each term equals the previous term times a fixed number called the common ratio. The recursive formula is:
Where r is the common ratio.
We are given three terms of a geometric sequence:
18,-72,288,...
To find the common ratio, just divide each term by the previous term:
Make sure it's a fixed number and test with the third term:
Since both numbers coincide, the common ratio of the geometric sequence is -4
