NEED HELP ASAP PLEASEEEEEEE

For the following geometric sequence find the explicit formula {1,-3,9,...}

Zarrin [17]

The first term of this series (a+1) is 1 and the common ratio (r) is -3.

Thus, the explicit formula is a_n = 1*(-3)^(n-1).

Must check this! suppose we try to calculate the 3rd term. Then n = 3.

a_3 = 1*(-3)^(3-1) = (-3)^2 = 9. This is correct.

The number divided by -4 is increased by -63, the result is -45. What is the number?

Pavlova-9 [17]

X / (-4) + ( -63) = -45 <=> x / ( -4) = 63 - 45 <=> x / (-4) = 18 <=> x = 18 * (-4) <=> x = -72.

Derivative Notation

Basic Power Rule:

f(x) = cxⁿ
f’(x) = c·nxⁿ⁻¹

Derivative Rule [Chain Rule]: $\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}[f(g(x))] =f'(g(x)) \cdot g'(x)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify

$\displaystyle H(x) = \sqrt[3]{F(x)}$

Step 2: Differentiate

Rewrite function [Exponential Rule - Root Rewrite]: $\displaystyle H(x) = [F(x)]^\bigg{\frac{1}{3}}$
Chain Rule: $\displaystyle H'(x) = \frac{d}{dx} \bigg[ [F(x)]^\bigg{\frac{1}{3}} \bigg] \cdot \frac{d}{dx}[F(x)]$
Basic Power Rule: $\displaystyle H'(x) = \frac{1}{3}[F(x)]^\bigg{\frac{1}{3} - 1} \cdot F'(x)$
Simplify: $\displaystyle H'(x) = \frac{F'(x)}{3}[F(x)]^\bigg{\frac{-2}{3}}$
Rewrite [Exponential Rule - Rewrite]: $\displaystyle H'(x) = \frac{F'(x)}{3[F(x)]^\bigg{\frac{2}{3}}}$

Step 3: Evaluate

Substitute in x [Derivative]: $\displaystyle H'(5) = \frac{F'(5)}{3[F(5)]^\bigg{\frac{2}{3}}}$
Substitute in function values: $\displaystyle H'(5) = \frac{6}{3(8)^\bigg{\frac{2}{3}}}$
Exponents: $\displaystyle H'(5) = \frac{6}{3(4)}$
Multiply: $\displaystyle H'(5) = \frac{6}{12}$
Simplify: $\displaystyle H'(5) = \frac{1}{2}$
