The first four terms of a sequence are \text{3, -6, 12, -24}. write an explicit formula for this sequence, where n is any term number and a\left(n\right) is the nth term

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The terms form a geometric sequence with n th term

= a

where a is the first term and r the common ratio

r = = = ......

r = = = - 2 and a = 3, hence

= 3 ← explicit formula

connie < felicia < stew

step-by-step explanation:

stew:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

    = (2650-795)/(10-3)

    = 1855/7

connie:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

we have two points (0,0) and (4,800)

m = (800-0)/(4-0)

  m = 800/4
