I'm assuming this is multiple choice and you forgot to post the answers. I'll take a guess and say it probably looks something like this:

Because you can't take the square root of a negative number without getting an imaginary result, resulting in the function having a closed domain limit.
Sales tax is:
$178.90* (5.75/100)=$10.29
The sales tax of the chair is $10.29~

Two possible answers: 6 or -6</h3>
==========================================================
Explanation:
r = common ratio
To get any term in a geometric sequence, we multiply the previous term by r.
So that means 4r is the second term, since 4 is the first term.
The third term is (4r)*r = 4r^2, which is equal to 9 as given to us.
4r^2 = 9
4r^2 - 9 = 0
(2r)^2 - (3)^2 = 0
(2r - 3)(2r + 3) = 0 ... difference of squares rule
2r-3 = 0 or 2r+3 = 0
2r = 3 or 2r = -3
r = 3/2 or r = -3/2
r = 1.5 or r = -1.5
We can use each r value to find the possible second term
S = 4r = 4*(1.5) = 6
S = 4r = 4*(-1.5) = -6
The second term is either 6 or -6.
We could have this sequence: 4, 6, 9, ...
Or we could have this sequence: 4, -6, 9, ...
