First, we are going to find the common ratio of our geometric sequence using the formula: $r= \frac{a_{n}}{a_{n-1}}$ . For our sequence, we can infer that $a_{n}=-20$ and $a_{n-1}=4$ . So lets replace those values in our formula:
$r= \frac{-20}{4}$
r=-5

Now that we have the common ratio, lets find the explicit formula of our sequence. To do that we are going to use the formula: $a_{n}=a_{1}*r^{n-1}$ . We know that $a_{1}=4$ ; we also know for our previous calculation that r=-5

. So lets replace those values in our formula:
$a_{n}=4*(-5)^{n-1}$

Finally, to find the 9th therm in our sequence, we just need to replace

with 9 in our explicit formula:
$a_{9}=4*(-5)^{9-1}$
$a_{9}=4*(-5)^{8}$
$a_{9}=1562500$

We can conclude that the 9th term in our geometric sequence is 1,562,500

answer: e 9, 5.75

step-by-step explanation:

step 1

find the variation ab in the x coordinate

delta x=(x2-x1)=10-> 8 units

find the variation ab in the y coordinate

delta y=(y2-y1)=6-> 2 units

step 2

find the coordinates point c

x coordinate

cx=ax+delta x*2/> cx=2+8*(2/> cx=3

y coordinate

cy=ay+delta y*2/> cy=4+2*(2/> cy=4.25

the coordinates of point c are (3,4.25)

step 3

find the coordinates point d

x coordinate

dx=ax+delta x*4/> dx=2+8*(4/> dx=4

y coordinate

dy=ay+delta y*4/> dy=4+2*(4/> dy=4.5

the coordinates of point d are (4, 4.5)

step 4

find the coordinates point e

x coordinate

ex=ax+delta x*4/> ex=2+8*(6/> ex=5

y coordinate

ey=ay+delta y*4/> ey=4+2*(6/> ey=4.75

the coordinates of point e are (5, 4.75)

step 5

find the coordinates point f

x coordinate

fx=ax+delta x*4/> fx=2+8*(8/> fx=6

y coordinate

fy=ay+delta y*4/> fy=4+2*(8/> fy=5

the coordinates of point f are (6,5)

step 6

find the coordinates point g

x coordinate

gx=ax+delta x*4/> gx=2+8*(10/> gx=7

y coordinate

gy=ay+delta y*4/> gy=4+2*(10/> gy=5.25

the coordinates of point g are (7,5.25)

step 7

find the coordinates point h

x coordinate

hx=ax+delta x*4/> hx=2+8*(12/> hx=8

y coordinate

hy=ay+delta y*4/> hy=4+2*(12/> hy=5.5

the coordinates of point h are (8,5.5)

step 8

find the coordinates point i

x coordinate

ix=ax+delta x*4/> ix=2+8*(14/> ix=9

y coordinate

iy=ay+delta y*4/> iy=4+2*(14/> iy=5.75

the coordinates of point i are (9,5.75)
