A1=2
a2=-8
a3=32
a4=-128
a2/a1=(-8)/2→a2/a1=-4
a3/a2=32/(-8)→a3/a2=-4
a4/a3=(-128)/32→a4/a3=-4
a2/a1=a3/a2=a4/a3=r=-4
an=a1*r^(n-1)
an=2*(-4)^(n-1)
The explicit rule for the nth term of the given sequence is an=2*(-4)^(n-1)
I cant see ur attached thing

General Formulas and Concepts;
<u>Pre-Alg</u>
- Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
f(x) = 9(3)ˣ
x = -1
<u>Step 2: Solve</u>
- Substitute: f(-1) = 9(3)⁻¹
- Evaluate: f(-1) = 9(1/3)
- Multiply: f(-1) = 9/3
- Divide: f(-1) = 3
We need to find the number of pies baked in years 1 and 2.
There were 148 pies baked in year 1. 
There were 
pies baked in year 2. 
Rearrange the terms so the variable is first.
