Answer: Only the second sequence is arithmetic.
Work:
An arithmetic sequence is a sequence in which there is a common value added or subtracted between each term in the sequence.
The first option, -2, 4, -6, 8,... is not arithmetic because the terms switch back and forth between positive and negative signs meaning that there is no common value that can be added between each term.
The second option, -8, -6, -4, -2,... is arithmetic because there is a common difference between each term which is +2.
The third option, 2, 4, 8, 16,... is not arithmetic but is, in fact, geometric. There is no common value that is added or subtracted between each term.
Jay’s elevation is at -20.
Talia’s elevation is at 20.
let's bear in mind that sin(θ) in this case is positive, that happens only in the I and II Quadrants, where the cosine/adjacent are positive and negative respectively.

9(-6x-2)-7(-10x-2)
Simplify, by distributing the 9 and the -7
-54x-18+70x+14
Combine like terms
16x-4 is the simplified expression
Hope this helped!
Looks to be adjacent and virtually all of them are there
