The common ratio is given as 2, so the base of any exponential must be 2 (not -2 or 2.25). The 4th term is negative, so the initial value must be negative (since the multiplying factor is positive). The only selection matching these requirements is d.
You know the general term is ...
... an = a1·r^(n-1)
so the 4th term is
... -18 = a1·2^(4-1) = 8·a1
Then the first term is ...
... a1 = -18/8 = -2.25 . . . . . confirms our choice of answer d.
1/36 because you have 36 different possibilities when rolling it twice and getting and a 4 then a 6 is only 1 possibility out of the 36 1/4 because there is 3/6 chance on one roll and second roll We said with 2 rolls there is 36 possibility (6x6) So 3x3=9 which the amount of possibility to get a even number 9/36 simplify is 1/4 (divided by 9 the top and bottom) Hope this helps!
