Enter a recursive rule for the geometric sequence. 3, −12, 48, −192, 

  a[1] = 3; a[n] = -4a[n-1]

Step-by-step explanation:

The first term is 3, so that is the first part of the recursive rule: a[1] = 3.

Each term is -4 times the previous term, so that is the second part of the recursive rule: a[n] = -4a[n-1].

You know a geometric sequence has a common ratio. That ratio can be found by dividing any term by the one before: -12/3 = -4. This is the value that each term is multiplied by to get the next term.

65

step-by-step explanation:

5x+40

5(x + 8)

7x - 49

7(x - 7)

18x + 9

9(2x + 1)

15x - 10

5(3x - 2)

step-by-step explanation:

for number one all you have to do is factor 5 out of 5x + 40

for number 2 factor 7 out of 7x - 49

for number three factor 9 out of 18x + 9

for number four factor 5 out of 15x - 10
