Plug in 10 for both functions
f(10) = 4(10)^4 = 40,000
g(10) = 3 * 3^10 = 177,147
Now which value is greater?
Solution: A f(10) < g(10)
Answer:

You gave the explicit form.
Step-by-step explanation:
You gave the explicit form.
The recursive form is giving you a term in terms of previous terms of the sequence.
So the recursive form of a geometric sequence is
and they also give a term of the sequence; like first term is such and such number. All this says is to get a term in the sequence you just multiply previous term by the common ratio.
r is the common ratio and can found by choosing a term and dividing by the term that is right before it.
So here r=-3 since all of these say that it does:
-54/18
18/-6
-6/2
If these quotients didn't match, then it wouldn't be geometric.
Anyways the recursive form for this geometric sequence is

80% is your correct answer
-1^3 - -1^2 +1= -1. ...........
