What is the recursive formula for this geometric sequence? -2, -16, -128, -1024,
2 answers:
<h3>Answer: Choice A</h3>
The first line shown in choice A is which means "the first term is -2"
The next line in choice A means "the nth term () is found by multiplying the prior term (
) by 8". Put another way: multiply each term by 8 to get the next term.
first term = -2
second term = 8*(first term) = 8*(-2) = -16
third term = 8*(second term) = 8*(-16) = -128
fourth term = 8*(third term) = 8*(-128) = -1024
and so on.

Answer:
You have to multiply the denorminator to both sides in order to make x the subject :
Answer: The first equation is an equation of a parabola. The second equation is an equation of a line.
Explanation:
The first equation is,
In this equation the degree of y is 1 and the degree of x is 2. The degree of both variables are not same. Since the coefficients of y and higher degree of x is positive, therefore it is a graph of an upward parabola.
The second equation is,
In this equation the degree of x is 1 and the degree of y is 1. The degree of both variables are same. Since both variables have same degree which is 1, therefore it is linear equation and it forms a line.
Therefore, the first equation is an equation of a parabola. The second equation is an equation of a line.
