Answer:

\large \boxed{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the nth term of a geometric sequence is

aₙ = a₁rⁿ⁻¹

In your geometric sequence, a₁ = 4 and a₁₃ = 16 384.

\begin{array}{rcl}16384 & = & 4r^{(13 - 1)}}\\16384 & = & 4r^{12}\\4096 & = & r^{12}\\3.6124 & = & 12 \log r\\0.30102 & = & \log r\\r & = & 10^{0.30102}\\ & = & \mathbf{2}\\\end{array}\\\text{The common ratio is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{2}}$}

Check:

\begin{array}{rcl}16384 & = & 4(2)^{12}\\16384 & = & 4(4096)\\16384 & = & 16384\\\end{array}

It checks.

The answer is:  [D]:  " 24 + 2w " .
___________________________________________
Explanation:
___________________________________________
Given: The formula for the Perimeter of a rectangle:
___________________________________________
   P = 2L + 2w ; 
  
                 in which:
                                P = perimeter ;
                                L = length = 12 units (given); 
                                w = width = unknown;
_______________________________________________________
           Find the perimeter, "P", in terms of "w" ; since "w" (width) is unknown; and considering the answer choices given; along with the information provided in the problem, we only have enough information to solve for the perimeter, "P", in terms of "w" ; 
_____________________________________________________
         So, given the formula/equation for the perimeter, "P" :
_____________________________________________________
       P = 2L + 2w ;  we know that:  " L = 12 units " ;
_____________________________________________________
       P = 2*12  +  2w  =  24 + 2w ;  which is:  "Answer choice: [D]" .
