??? Im lost in this question, could you be more specific?
D
the n th term (explicit ) formula for a geometric sequence is
= 

The given explicit formula therefore has
= 5 and r = - 
The recursive formula, allows us to find the next term in the sequence from the previous term
Here the next term in the sequence is obtained by multiplying the previous term by - 
=
(-
) with
= 5
I’ll do an example problem, and I challenge you to do this on your own!
4x+6y=23
7y-8x=5
Solving for y in 4x+6y=23, we can separate the y by subtracting both sides by 4x (addition property of equality), resulting in 6y=23-4x. To make the y separate from everything else, we divide by 6, resulting in (23-4x)/6=y. To solve for x, we can do something similar - subtract 6y from both sides to get 23-6y=4x. Next, divide both sides by 4 to get (23-6y)/4=x.
Since we know that (23-4x)/6=y, we can plug that into 7y-8x=5, resulting in
7*(23-4x)/6-8x=5
= (161-28x)/6-8x
Multiplying both sides by 6, we get 161-28x-48x=30
= 161-76x
Subtracting 161 from both sides, we get -131=-76x. Next, we can divide both sides by -76 to separate the x and get x=131/76. Plugging that into 4x+6y=23, we get 4(131/76)+6y=23. Subtracting 4(131/76) from both sides, we get
6y=23-524/76. Lastly, we can divide both sides by 6 to get y=(23-524/76)/6
Good luck, and feel free to ask any questions!
