Given:
second term = 18
fifth term = 144
The nth term of a geometric sequence is:

Hence, we have:

Divide the expression for the fifth term by the expression for the second term:

Substituting the value of r into any of the expression:

Hence, the explicit rule for the sequence is:
X=-3y+6 That is the answer.
The answer is 3 ft
The surface area (SA) of a cylinder with radius r and height h is:
SA = 2πr² + 2πrh = π(2r² + 2rh)
We have:
SA = 126π ft²
h = 3 * d
d = 2r
h = 3 * 2r = 6r
126π = π(2r² + 2rh)
126 = 2r² + 2rh
126 = 2r² + 2r * 6r
126 = 2r² + 12r²
126 = 14r²
r² = 126/14
r² = 9
r = √9
r = 3
It is less because 8(2/8) would equal 2
