Hello,

a(2)=-6
a(3)=-6*r
a(4)=-6*r²
a(5)=-6*r^3=162
a(5)/a(2)=r^3=162/(-6)=-27==>r=-3

a(1)=-6/(-3)=2
a(2)=2*(-3)
a(3)=2*(-3)²
a(4)=2*(-3)^3
a(5)=2*(-3)^4

a(n)=2*(-3)^(n-1)

PLEASE HELP! [99 POINTS] !! SERIOUS ANSWERS ONLY !!!

Hello!

We can find out our answer by plugging in the point (1,1) to see which equation works.

y=1.4(1.2)≠1
y=1.2≠1
y=0.5+0.3≠1
y=0.2+1.2≠1

As you can see, none of these answers are correct. You could make the last equation true by switching 0.2 to -0.2. It may have been a typo, so I would say the best answer is D.

I hope this helps!
