The formula for any geometric sequence is an = a1 · rn - 1, where an represents the value of the nth term, a1 represents the value of the first term, r represents the common ratio, and n represents the term number. What is the formula for the sequence 2, -6, 18, -54, ...? an = 2 · 3n - 1 an = 2 · (-3)n - 1 an = 3 · 2n - 1 an = -3 · 2n - 1

The second choice

Step-by-step explanation:

So first we would plug in the first term which is 2 so we would get times so next we would see that the common ration is -3 since every time the number is being multiplied by -3. so then our equation would be times . Now we would just find the choice that matches and it would be the second choice.

option 2

Step-by-step explanation:

First term

common ratio = r = second term ÷ first term

                            = -6 ÷2 = -4

Plug in the values of   & r in the formula

10.416 meters per second

step-by-step explanation:

distance=1 00 meters

time= 9.6 seconds in decimal form or 9 3/5 as a mixed number

average speed= 100/9.6

=10.416 meters per second or 10 52/125 as a mixed number.
