Answer:

f(n) = 2 × 3^{n-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to write an explicit rule for a geometric function, you need to know the common ratio; you can find the common ratio by dividing two consecutive terms:

6 ÷ 2 = 3, 18 ÷ 6 = 3, 54 ÷ 18 = 3, etc..

Now you know the common ratio is 3. At this point you can write your explicit function following the rule f(n) = [1st term] × [common ratio]^(n-1):

f(n) = 2 × 3^(n-1)

Multiply each number by 3.

2 (x 3) is 6. 6 x 3 is 18, 18 x 3 is 54, 54 x 3 is 162.

Hope this helps!

Angelica calculated the distance between the two points shown on the graph below. (1st picture)
Alex Ar [27]
Use the distance formula to find the value of the side lengths.
d=√((x1-x2)²+(y1-y2)²

d of side AC is 6

d of side CB is 10 

Angela's use of the Pythagorean Theorem of 10²+6²+c² is incorrect; she put the right values in the wrong spots, the formula needed is:
6²+10²=c²

Option C- Angelica's side lengths were too long.
