Answer: the question can only be simplified to -8z-12 because there is no equal sign.
Step-by-step explanation:
(4z - 12) - 12z
-8z-12
Explanation:
A sequence is a list of numbers.
A <em>geometric</em> sequence is a list of numbers such that the ratio of each number to the one before it is the same. The common ratio can be any non-zero value.
<u>Examples</u>
- 1, 2, 4, 8, ... common ratio is 2
- 27, 9, 3, 1, ... common ratio is 1/3
- 6, -24, 96, -384, ... common ratio is -4

<u>General Term</u>
Terms of a sequence are numbered starting with 1. We sometimes use the symbol a(n) or an to refer to the n-th term. The general term of a geometric sequence, a(n), can be described by the formula ...
a(n) = a(1)×r^(n-1) . . . . . n-th term of a geometric sequence
where a(1) is the first term, and r is the common ratio. The above example sequences have the formulas ...
- a(n) = 2^(n -1)
- a(n) = 27×(1/3)^(n -1)
- a(n) = 6×(-4)^(n -1)
You can see that these formulas are exponential in nature.

<u>Sum of Terms</u>
Another useful formula for geometric sequences is the formula for the sum of n terms.
S(n) = a(1)×(r^n -1)/(r -1) . . . . . sum of n terms of a geometric sequence
When |r| < 1, the sum converges as n approaches infinity. The infinite sum is ...
S = a(1)/(1-r)
Looking at the data it looks like a line. So the answer will be in y+mx+b format.
Knowing it is a line eliminates answers b and c.
looking at options a is says it starts at about .1 when x is zero. We can see this looks pretty close as the left-most dot is below 1 already.
The slope on a is 1/2--> increasing 1 vertically for every 2 horizontally. The pattern mostly follows that rule.
Therefore a (y=1/2x+.1) would be the correct answer
