Answer:
all are Not Equivalent
Step-by-step explanation:
The coefficient of t³ in the target expression is -3. In order for that to be the result of simplifying any of the given expressions, they must have ( )^(t^3) in the denominator. None do, so none of the offered choices is equivalent to the given expression.
_____
The expressions simplify like this:
Given:
The geometric sequence is:
1 -4
2 20
3 -100
To find:
The explicit formula and list any restrictions to the domain.
Solution:
The explicit formula of a geometric sequence is:
...(i)
Where, a is the first term, r is the common ratio and .
In the given sequence the first term is -4 and the second term is 20, so the common ratio is:
Putting in (i), we get
where
Therefore, the correct option is B.
