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.

Answer:

The answer is 3 , 1 , 2 .

Step-by-step explanation:

I will give an example.

e.g.

x² + 3x + 2

Step 3 :

Set the equation equal to zero :

x² + 3x + 2 = 0

Step 1 :

Completely factor the equation :

x² + x + 2x + 2 = 0

x(x+1) + 2(x+1) = 0

(x+2)(x+1) = 0

Step 2 :

Set each factor equal zero and then solve for the variable :

(x+2)(x+1) = 0

x + 2 = 0

x = -2

x + 1 = 0

x = -1
