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 · 3 n - 1
an = 2 · (-3) n - 1
an = -3 · 2 n - 1
an = 3 · 2 n - 1

The formula for the sequence is:

Step-by-step explanation:

The general term of a geometric sequence is given by:

In which is the first term and r is the common ratio between the terms, that is, the division between them.

What is the formula for the sequence 2, -6, 18, -54, ...?

First term is 2, so

Common ratio is given by:

So the sequence is given by:

1/2*qr*rs

step-by-step explanation:

- both graphs increase on their domain.

- the graphs of both functions have the same x-intercept.

- neither graph has a y-intercept.
