Answer:

a(n) = 1/2(-8)^(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The general term of a geometric sequence is ...

a(n) = a(1)×r^(n-1)

where a(1) is the first term, and r is the common ratio.

Here, the first term is a(1) = 1/2. The common ratio is the ratio of any two sequential terms: r = 32/-4 = -8. Then the explicit formula is ...

a(n) = 1/2(-8)^(n-1)

What is the direct linear variation equation for the relationship?

defon

$\bf \begin{array}{cccccclllll}
\textit{something}&&\textit{varies directly to}&&\textit{something else}\\ \quad \\
\textit{something}&=&{{ \textit{some value}}}&\cdot &\textit{something else}\\ \quad \\
y&=&{{ K}}&\cdot&x
\\ \\
&& y={{ K }}x
\end{array}
\\ \quad \\

\begin{cases}
y=4\\
x=12
\end{cases}\implies y=Kx\implies 4=K\cdot 12$

solve for "K", to see what "K" is, or the "constant of variation",
once you found K, plug it back in y=Kx, and that's the equation
