a_{n+1} =7a_{n}.

If we know the term n^{th} and the common relation, r, of a geometric sequence, you can find the term (n+1)^{th} using the recursive formula a_{n+1} =a_{n}.r.

The first term of the geometric sequence is a₁ = -3.

The common relation we have to find the relationship between a term and the term that precedes it.

r=\frac{-21}{-3} = 7

The recursive formula is:

a_{1} =-3

a_{n+1} =7a_{n}

a_1=-3\\r=7\\a_n=a_{n-1}\cdot r\\\\ \boxed{a_n=7a_{n-1}}

HURRRRYYY <br>Hurry pleaseee use elimination show your work <br><br><br>15y - 9x =-9 -8y+9x=12
Nastasia [14]
Add the two functions together to get

7y=-3
y=-3/7

Then plug in y to either function to solve for x, I’ll just use the left one

15(-3/7)-9x=-9
-45/7-9x=-9
-9x=-18/7
x=18/7/9

x=2/7

Can anyone help me with this it’s precalculus
andrew-mc [135]
The x intercepts are where there are points on the x axis. In this case your x intercepts would be (-3,0), (3.5,0) and (5,0) and if it asks for what x equals it’s going to be x=-3, x=3.5 and x=5. Hope this helps
