Question

a sub 1 = -4 and a sub 2 =12

Answer 1

find the general ter a sub n for the geometric sequence

Answer 2

Wait. You have to find the "rate" right?

Answer 3

For that:
\[r = \frac{term 2}{term1}\]

Answer 4

no, it says find the general term a sub n for the geometric sequence

Answer 5

is this formula is given to you?

Answer 6

no a sub1 = -4 and a sub 2 = 12

Answer 7

So it says that the first term of the progression is -4 and the second term is 12.

Answer 8

yes

Answer 9

Now you have to find the "rate" at which this progression in increasing.

Answer 10

how do I do that ?

Answer 11

term2/term1

Answer 12

12/ -4

Answer 13

-3

Answer 14

YES! That's what i was trying to say.

Answer 15

so the answer id -3

Answer 16

Yep.
