Answer: Only the second sequence is arithmetic.
Work:
An arithmetic sequence is a sequence in which there is a common value added or subtracted between each term in the sequence.
The first option, -2, 4, -6, 8,... is not arithmetic because the terms switch back and forth between positive and negative signs meaning that there is no common value that can be added between each term.
The second option, -8, -6, -4, -2,... is arithmetic because there is a common difference between each term which is +2.
The third option, 2, 4, 8, 16,... is not arithmetic but is, in fact, geometric. There is no common value that is added or subtracted between each term.
The common ratio in a geometric sequence is the ratio between 2 consecutive terms:
-8/2=-4,
then the sequence is 2, -8, 32, -128, -512, 2048, ...
let

be the nth term of the sequence, then

so clearly

and, clearly n are integers >0, since we have a 1st term, a second term and so on... of a sequence (we do not have a "zero'th term"!
Answer:
<span>C. an=2(-4)^n-1; all integers where n>0</span>
Point slope equation:
y-y1=m(x-x1)
m=slope
So we simply plug in our given information:
x1=-8
y1=2
m=1/2
y-2=1/2(x-(-8)
2 minus signs next to each other make a positive
Final answer:
y-2=1/2(x+8)
Answer:
280 cm2
Step-by-step explanation:
1)find the area of square
A=LW
=10×10
=100
2) find the area of triangle
A=B×H÷2
=10×9/2
=45
Coz,there are 4 triangle we multiple by 4
=45×4
=180
3)find the total surface area by adding the two
=100+180
=280cm2
