A1=2
a2=-8
a3=32
a4=-128
a2/a1=(-8)/2→a2/a1=-4
a3/a2=32/(-8)→a3/a2=-4
a4/a3=(-128)/32→a4/a3=-4
a2/a1=a3/a2=a4/a3=r=-4
an=a1*r^(n-1)
an=2*(-4)^(n-1)
The explicit rule for the nth term of the given sequence is an=2*(-4)^(n-1)
Answer:
120 cups
Step-by-step explanation:
there are 16 cups in one gallon. 7x16=112 and half of a gallon is 8 cups. So 112+8=120

I hope this this is what you need ..
Well the answer is 12-14=%58=x
Answer:
linear and y = 2x + 19
Step-by-step explanation:
the x- values increment by 2 and the values of y increment by 4
This indicates a linear relationship exists in the form
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )
m =
=
= 2
y = 2x + c ← is the partial equation
to find c use any ordered pair from the table
using (- 5, 9 ), then
9 = - 10 + c ⇒ c = 9 + 10 = 19
y = 2x + 19 ← linear equation
As a check
x = - 7 : y = - 14 + 19 = 5 ← correct value of y
x = - 5 : y = - 10 + 19 = 9 ← correct value of y
x = - 3 : y = - 6 + 19 = 13 ← correct value of y
x = - 1 : y = - 2 + 19 = 17 ← correct value of y
