Answer:

An explicit rule for the nth term of the sequence will be:

a_n=-4\cdot \:2^{n-1}      

Thus, option (A) is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the sequence

-4, -8, -16, -32, ...

A geometric sequence has a constant ratio r and is defined by

a_n=a_0\cdot r^{n-1}

Computing the ratios of all the adjacent terms

\frac{-8}{-4}=2,\:\quad \frac{-16}{-8}=2,\:\quad \frac{-32}{-16}=2

As the ratio 'r' is the same.

so

r=2

as

a_1=-4

Hence, the nth term of the sequence will be:

a_n=a_0\cdot r^{n-1}

substituting the values r=2 and a_1=-4

a_n=-4\cdot \:2^{n-1}      

Therefore, an explicit rule for the nth term of the sequence will be:

a_n=-4\cdot \:2^{n-1}      

Thus, option (A) is true.

Brut [27]
1047.84ft² is not covered by the pool.
Find the area of the yard covered by pull using the area of a circle formula (the height is irrelevant in this case). If the diameter of the pool is 24 feet, its radius is 12 (half of the diameter)

A = 3.14r^2
A =3.14(144)
A = 452.16 ft²

Subtract the area of the pool from the area of the yard to get the area of the yard that is not covered by the pool. If the dimensions of the yard are 30ft by 50ft, you multiply them to get the area: 1500ft²

Total yard area: 1,500ft²
Area of yard without pool: 1,500ft² - 452.16ft² = 1047.84ft²
