Answer:
A. 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Pick two terms with consecutive x-values and find their ratio. That is the common ratio.
for x = 2 and x = 1,
r = 32/8 = 4
The common ratio is 4.
_____
You can check other pairs of terms if you want to confirm.
r = 2048/512 = 4 . . . . for x=5 and 4.
bearing in mind that, whenever we have an absolute value expression, is in effect a piece-wise function with a positive and a negative version of the expression, so

Answer: 1.) Irrational (because its not terminal)
2.) 
Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :
4*(2*x-6)-(10*x-6)=0
2x - 6 = 2 • (x - 3)
8 • (x - 3) - (10x - 6) = 0 -2x - 18 = -2 • (x + 9)
-2 • (x + 9) = 0 Solve : -2 = 0
<span>This equation has no solution.
</span>A a non-zero constant never equals zero.
Solving a Single Variable Equation :
Solve :
x+9 = 0 <span>
</span>Subtract 9 from both sides of the equation :<span>
</span> x = -9
