Answer:
it seems like the first term is -64, so lets write the formula accordingly:
a_n = a1(r)^(n-1)
where 'n' is the number of terms
a1 is the first term of the sequence
'r' is the ratio
the ratio is 
because -64 * = 16 and so on...
the explicit formula is :
= 
Answer:
a function of the coefficients of a polynomial equation whose value gives information about the roots of the polynomial.
2^x-2=16
+2 +2
——————
2^x=18
(Log)(2))=log (18)
X=log(18)
————-
Log(2)
X=4.169925
So, we first add the 20 and 72 together and you will get 92.
What I like to do next is usually 92/100x8.5. The tax would be then 7.82
92 + 7.82 = 99.82 < 100
The answer is yes.
To solve this you have to add 98 and 82 together then divide by three so the answer would be 60
