Answer:

T_n =  -48* (-\frac{1}{2})^{n}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

24, -12, 6,...

Required

Write a formula

The above sequence shows a geometric sequence because:

r = \frac{-12}{24} = \frac{6}{-12} = -\frac{1}{2} -- common ratio

The equation is determined using:

T_n = ar^{n-1}

Where

a = 24

Substitute values for a and r

T_n = 24* (-\frac{1}{2})^{n-1}

Apply law of indices:

T_n = 24* (-\frac{1}{2})^{n} * (-\frac{1}{2})^{-1}

T_n = 24* (-\frac{1}{2})^{n} * 1/(-\frac{1}{2})

T_n = 24* (-\frac{1}{2})^{n} * 1*-2

T_n =  1*-2*24* (-\frac{1}{2})^{n}

T_n =  -48* (-\frac{1}{2})^{n}

<em>The above represents the explicit formula</em>

Find the missing coefficient (4d—4)(3d—2)=12d^2+ []d+8
sergij07 [2.7K]
<span>(4d-4)(3d-2)=12d^2 + []d + 8

Using FOIL method:
4d x 3d = 12d^2
4d x  -2 = -8d
-4 x 3d = -12d
-4 x -2 = 8

Adding common terms, we have:
-8d + -12d = -20 d

The missing coefficient is -20.</span>
