Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a1 = - 2

an = a1 * r^(n - 1)

a6 = -486

-486 = - 2 * r^(6-1) Divide by 2

243 = r^5

The largest value that r could be is 3.

4^5 = 1024

(243)^(1/5) = 3

So the general formula

an = -2*(3)^(n - 1)

GaryK [48]

For the given linear equation:

The constant term represents the cost of the sneakers.
The linear term represents the cost of the laces.

<h3>What does each part of the expression represent?</h3>

We know that Sarah buys one pair of sneakers and several pairs of laces.

We know that the amount that she spends is:

$35 + $3*l

The first term, the constant one, represents the cost of the pair of sneakers.

The linear term:

$3*l

Represents the cost of buying l pairs of laces, assuming that each pair costs $3.
