The first term of a geometric sequence is -2 and the common ratio is 3 what is the 12th term of the sequence

The n-th term of a geometric sequence with initial value a and common ratio r is given by .

We have and and

Substitute:

i you goofed up when writing this, because hnot is not a word minusf is not either. i cannot answer   because of that.

step-by-step explanation:

the system of inequalities is

step-by-step explanation:

step 1

find the equation of the dashed line

we have the points

(0,0) and (3,1)

the line passes through the origin, so, is a direct variation

find the slope

the equation of the dashed line is

the solution of the inequality a s the shaded area above the dashed line

therefore

the equation of the inequality a is

step 2

find the equation of the solid line

we have the points

(4,0) and (0,4)

find the slope

the equation of the solid line is

the solution of the inequality b s the shaded area below the solid line

therefore

the equation of the inequality b is

step 3

the system of inequalities is
