The correct answer is x=17
Answer:
- an = 3(-2)^(n-1)
- 3, -6, 12, -24, 48
Step-by-step explanation:
These variable names, a1, r, are commonly used in relationship to geometric sequences. We assume you want the terms of a geometric sequence with these characteristics.
a1 is the first term. r is the ratio between terms, so is the factor to find the next term from the previous one.
a1 = 3 (given)
a2 = a1×r = 3×(-2) = -6
a3 = a2×r = (-6)(-2) = 12
a4 = a3×r = (12)(-2) = -24
a5 = a4×r = (-24)(-2) = 48
The first 5 terms are 3, -6, 12, -24, 48.

The explicit formula for the terms of a geometric sequence is ...
an = a1×r^(n -1)
Using the given values of a1 and r, the explicit formula for this sequence is ...
an = 3(-2)^(n -1)
Ok so this is conic sectuion
first group x's with x's and y's with y's
then complete the squra with x's and y's
2x^2-8x+2y^2+10y+2=0
2(x^2-4x)+2(y^2+5y)+2=0
take 1/2 of linear coeficient and square
-4/2=-2, (-2)^2=4
5/2=2.5, 2.5^2=6.25
add that and negative inside
2(x^2-4x+4-4)+2(y^2+5y+6.25-6.25)+2=0
factor perfect squares
2((x-2)^2-4)+2((y+2.5)^2-6.25)+2=0
distribute
2(x-2)^2-8+2(y+2.5)^2-12.5+2=0
2(x-2)^2+2(y+2.5)^2-18.5=0
add 18.5 both sides
2(x-2)^2+2(y+2.5)^2=18.5
divide both sides by 2
(x-2)^2+(y+2.5)^2=9.25
that is a circle center (2,-2.5) with radius √9.25
