A list of numbers begins iwth the number 6. Each number on the list is 10 more than -2 times the previous terms. what is the fourth number

The fourth term is -18

Step-by-step explanation:

an = -2(an-1) +10

This is the recursive formula

a1 = 6

a2 = -2(a1) +10 = -2(6) +10 = -12+10 = -2

a3 = -2(a2) +10 = -2(-2) +10 = 4+10 = 14

a4 = -2(a3) +10 = -2(14) +10 = -28+10 = -18

isocolese triangle

we know that the line connect a and b is the hyptonuse

so first find the hypotonuse length using the distance formula, call the length c

since it is an isocolese triangle, the lengths of the legs are the same

using pythagorean theorem,

in this case, a=b since isocolese triangle so we get

or

we can find c so we can find the distances

we know that if we draw 2 circles, each has center at a and b, and find where they intersect, we can the 2 possible locations for c

if a has center at (xa,ya) and b has center at (xb,yb), then we can solve where

and

intersect to find where they intersect

i'm not going to put an example because i have to go to class. i hope this explanation is enough
