What is the 20th term for the following sequence?
3,-9, 27,-81, ...

-3486784401

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a geometric progression and the formula to use to find the nth term will be: = ar^(n-1)

where,

a = 3

r = -9/3 = -3

n = 20

Therefore, ar^(n-1)

= 3 × -3^19

= 3 × -1162261467

= -3486784401

y = 3x+4

step-by-step explanation:

to find the slope

slope = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

    = (-8-4)/ (-4-0)

    = -12/-4

  = 3

using the slope intercept form of a line

y= mx+b

we know the slope is 3

we know the y intercept is 4 ( the point where it crosses the y axis or x=0)

y = 3x+4
