In this equation, you have to treat the number in the bracket first on the basis of BODMAS
15 - [-3]- 4
Note that when two minuses come together the product is a plus sign.
15 +3 - 4
You have to add before you subract
18 - 4 =14
Therefore, 15- [-3] - 4 = 14.
Answer:

You gave the explicit form.
Step-by-step explanation:
You gave the explicit form.
The recursive form is giving you a term in terms of previous terms of the sequence.
So the recursive form of a geometric sequence is
and they also give a term of the sequence; like first term is such and such number. All this says is to get a term in the sequence you just multiply previous term by the common ratio.
r is the common ratio and can found by choosing a term and dividing by the term that is right before it.
So here r=-3 since all of these say that it does:
-54/18
18/-6
-6/2
If these quotients didn't match, then it wouldn't be geometric.
Anyways the recursive form for this geometric sequence is

Answer:
y=2x+3
Step-by-step explanation:
Y is the total amount that the family pays. 2x represents 2 dollars for every person (so, 2 multiplied by the number of people). Finally, 3 represents the initial amount that they must pay, no matter how many are in the car.
The triangle shown is a Pythagorean triple with lengths of 3-4-5.
AC = 3
AB = 4
BC = 5
