Sin^2x + sin^2x + cos²x

A. 2 sinx cosx - 1 + 2 sin^2 x.

Step-by-step explanation:

sin2x = 2 sinx cosx

cos2x = cos^2x - sin^2x

So sin2x - cos2x =  2 sinx cosx - ( cos^2x - sin^2x)

But cos^2 x = 1 - sin^2 x, so we have:

2 sinx cosx - (1 - sin^2 x - sin^2x)

= 2 sinx cosx - 1 + 2 sin^2 x.

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2
