Answer:
The answer is the first one. Inside the absolute value symbols it is negative but absolute value answers are always positive. Instead of -30 the answer is 30.
General term of a geometric sequence is
a(n)=a(1)×r^(n-1)
a1=5
a2=5×6=30
a3=5×6²=180
a4=5×6³=1080
The answer is 3/4 and it was already simplified
I will do my best to explain this “ x method “ I use
Basically, two factors of the first and last number must multiply together to sum up to equal the middle number
1 X 12
1 4
(x+12) (x+4)
Hope this helps!
