Determine the 3rd term in the geometric sequence whose first term is -8 & whose common term is 6

so the formula for finding the n th term in a geometric sequence is :

(first term) *

therefore:

the 3 rd term will be

(-8) * (6)^2

-8 * 36

-288

step-by-step explanation:

descending order means to order the polynomials from the term with the largest exponent to the term with the smallest exponent.  

therefore, the correct answer is d.  

6 adults and 9 children went.

a + c = 15

12a + 9c = 153

12(6) + 9(9) = 153

72 + 81 = 153
