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:
Answer: The answer would be
D - 12.25x + 3.99 = 77.49
Step-by-step explanation:
If each shirt costs $12.25, that would be 12.25 times “x” amount of shirts. Then, you add the $3.99 shipping amount. Which all equals 77.49.
A right angles is 90 degrees
if you mean 5/4 of the MEASURE of a right angle then
90 times 5/4 (because in math 'of' means multiply)
90 tmes 5/4=450/4=225/2=112.5 degrees
Group and factor
undistribute then undistribute again
remember
ab+ac=a(b+c)
this is important
6d^4+4d^3-6d^2-4d
undistribute 2d
2d(3d^3+2d^2-3d-2)
group insides
2d[(3d^3+2d^2)+(-3d-2)]
undistribute
2d[(d^2)(3d+2)+(-1)(3d+2)]
undistribute the (3d+2) part
(2d)(d^2-1)(3d+2)
factor that difference of 2 perfect squares
(2d)(d-1)(d+1)(3d+2)
77.
group
(45z^3+20z^2)+(9z+4)
factor
(5z^2)(9z+4)+(1)(9z+4)
undistribuet (9z+4)
(5z^2+1)(9z+4)
the next term of sequence is 128
