The question as presented is incomplete, here is the complete question with the multiple choice:
The sequence a1 = 6, an = 3an − 1 can also be
written as:
1) an = 6 ⋅ 3^n
2) an = 6 ⋅ 3^(n + 1)
3) an = 2 ⋅ 3^n
4) an = 2 ⋅ 3^(n + 1)
The correct choice is option 3) an = 2⋅3^n.
If we look at the initial sequence an = 3⋅an-1, and
a1 = 3⋅a0 = 6
a0 = 6/3
a0 = 2
We can now look at the sequence.
a0 = 2
a1 = 6
a2 = 18
a3 = 54
etc...
A common factor in each of those numbers is 2, so we can rewrite the sequence by factoring out 2.
a0 = 2⋅1
a1 = 2⋅3
a2 = 2⋅9
a3 = 2⋅27
The numbers being multiplied by 2 are all factors of 3. So we can rewrite the sequence again as:
a0 = 2⋅3^0
a1 = 2⋅3^1
a2 = 2⋅3^2
a3 = 2⋅3^3
This sequence can now be rewritten as an = 2⋅3^n.
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
(a)
Note the squared value in column 3 which is the square of 1 more than the row number, that is
row 2 → (2 + 1)² →3²
row 3 → (3 + 1)² → 4²
Find the square root of 676 = 26 → (25 + 1)² = 26²
Hence the row number is 25
(b)
The pattern in column 1 is [ row number × (row number + 2 ) + 1 ]
row number is n then n(n + 2) + 1 = n² + 2n + 1
The simplified expression of 2√8x³(3√10x⁴ - x√5x²) is 24x³√5x - 4x³√10x

The complete question is added as an attachment
From the attached figure, the product expression is:
2√8x³(3√10x⁴ - x√5x²)
Evaluate the exponents
2√8x³(3√10x⁴ - x√5x²) = 2 *2x√2x(3x²√10 - x²√5)
Evaluate the products
2√8x³(3√10x⁴ - x√5x²) = 4x√2x(3x²√10 - x²√5)
Open the bracket
2√8x³(3√10x⁴ - x√5x²) = 12x³√20x - 4x³√10x
Evaluate the exponents
2√8x³(3√10x⁴ - x√5x²) = 24x³√5x - 4x³√10x
Hence, the simplified expression of 2√8x³(3√10x⁴ - x√5x²) is 24x³√5x - 4x³√10x
