Question

Consider the first 2 terms of the sequence -6, 18,...

Answer 1

Answer:

arithmetic sequence: 24, 42, 66, 90, 114; y = 24x - 30

geometric sequence: -54, 162, -486, 1458, -4374; y = -6(-3)^(x - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Arithmetic sequence:

-6, 18, ...

18 - (-6) = 24

18 + 24 = 42

42 + 24 = 66

66 + 24 = 90

90 + 24 = 114

y = -6 + 24(x - 1)

y = -6 + 24x - 24

y = 24x - 30

Geometric sequence:

-6, 18, ...

18/(-6) = -3

18 * (-3) = -54

-54 * (-3) = 162

162 * (-3) = -486

-486 * (-3) = 1458

1458 * (-3) = -4374

y = -6(-3)^(x - 1)
