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

Answer:
9.2 m.
Step-by-step explanation:
6.2 m.
7.2 m.
8.2 m.
9.2 m.
This problem is a multi step problem. All you have to do is break it down into parts to make it easier. We can start by finding the diameter of the inner circle.
1. circumference = πd (Since the circumference is given as 44, and we know to use 22/7 for π, divide 44 by 22/7 to get d.)
44 / 22/7 = about 14.0 when rounded
2. Now add +8 to the 14 since we know that there are 4 ft. on both sides of the small inner circle.
14 + 8 = 22
3) The last step gave us the diameter of the bigger outer circle. Now, we have to plug in the 22 for d in the formula for circumference to find the circumference of the outer circle.
c = πd → c = 22 * 22/7 = 484/7 (484/7 = about 69 when rounded as a decimal)
4) The last step now is to subtract the circumferences, since the problem was asking for how much greater the outer circle's circumference is than the inner circle.
69 - 44 = 25
Your answer should be about 25 ft.
********** Note the answer they are looking for may be slightly different depending on whether they were looking for a fraction or decimal answer and where they rounded. ********************************************************
Answer:
4 and -4
Step-by-step explanation:
> means greater than
x² > 10
4² > 10 → True, 16 is greater than 10
-4² > 10 → True, 16 is greater than 10
