To find n-therm of a geometric sequence, we are going to use the formula a_{n} =a _{1} r^{n-1}
where:
a_{n} is the term we are looking for
a _{1} is the first term 
r is the ratio 
n is the position of the number in the sequence 

From the question we now that a _{1} =3, r= \sqrt{2}, and n=9. Lets replace those values into our formula to get:
a _{9} =3( \sqrt{2} )^{9-1}
a_{9} =3 \sqrt{2} ^{8}
a_{9} =48

We can conclude that in our geometric sequence a_{9} =48; therefore, the answer is A.

zysi [14]

Answer:

The answer is y = - 7x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

A parallel line will have the same slope and since the point that is given is a y intercept, you just plug in -7x + 6 to get your parallel equation
