Answer:
2/6561
Step-by-step explanation:
Geometric sequence formula : 
where an = nth term, a1 = first term , r = common ratio and n = term position
given ratio : 1/3 , first term : 2 , given this we want to find the 9th term
to do so we simply plug in what we are given into the formula
recall formula :
define variables : a1 = 2 , r = 1/3 , n = 9
plug in values
a9 = 2(1/3)^(9-1)
subtract exponents
a9 = 2(1/3)^8
evaluate exponent
a9 = 2 (1/6561)
multiply 2 and 1/6561
a9 = 2/6561
1. Use the FOIL method (x+9)(x+9)
First, outer, inner, last
Add your like terms
2. When you add or subtract polynomials you add or subtract the like terms and then put them in order from largest to smallest exponents.
3.
4. Since it is the perimeter, we add the 3 together.
Add the like terms together:
Put them in order of exponents

Prime factorization of 5·2·5=5^2·2
Neither one of the slopes are going to be minus. It means you are travelling backwards in time, which is wonderful if you are a sci-fi fan, but not so good if you are Sharon. A and D has Sharon going from 70 to 0. That can't be happening so both are wrong.
Now you have to decide between B and C. The intersection point has Sharon going upwards until she is 20. She started out at 70. The graph has John starting at 70. That's not right.
So we've eliminated A,D and now C.
The answer must be B. They meet when Sharon is 90 and John is about 22.5 which is what it should be.
