Answer:
The explicit formula for a given geometric sequence is of the form

Step-by-step explanation:
Given sequence is 
Let
To find the common ratio r:



Therefore r=-3



Therefore r=-3
Therefore common ratio is -3
Therefore given sequence is geometric sequence.
The explicit formula for a geometric sequence is
, where common ratio is r.
From given sequence we are having r=-3
Therefore the explicit formula for a given geometric sequence is of the form 


John's method will find you the price of each individual can of soda.Susan's method will find you the total cost of the soda. total number of cost = the number of things x the cost of each thing
Answer:
Neither linear nor exponential
Step-by-step explanation:
To check for a linear relationship. Find slope.
slope= (-1 - (-2)) / ( 5 - 2) = 1/3
check other points
slope = (1 - (-1) )/ (8 - 5) = 2/3
check more
slope = (4 - 1) / (11 - 8) = 3/ 3 = 1
Nope.
try assuming an exponential:
y = c * (a^x)
-2 = c* (a^2); -2/c = a^2
-1 = c *(a ^5); -1/c = a^5
1 = c * (a^8), 1/c = a^8
(-2/c)^4 = a^8 = 1/c
16/(c^4) = 1/c
c^3 = 16, then a = root (-2/ cube-root(16) )
The change from negative to postive would not work for y = c(a^x)
so...
assume y = a^x + k
-2 = a^2 + k
-1 = a^5 + k
... I would say neither..
