Brainliest! what are the next 2 terms in the geometric sequence?
a1=2,r=-3

The next two terms after a1 is

-6 and then 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Geometric sequence means your pattern for the terms is multiplication by the same number.

So a1 is the first term and r is your common ratio.

The common ratio is what you are multiplying by each time to figure out the next term.

So the geometric sequence goes like this:

a1 ,  a1*r , (a1*r)*r or a1*r^2 , a1*r^3 ,

So anyways you have

first term a1=2

second term a2=2(-3)=-6

third term a3=-6(-3)=18

And so on...

step-by-step explanation:

always plug in x. in this case, x equals 4.

i'm going to first solve 4(2+3x)

1) 4(2+3(4)) use pemdas to solve.

i'm going to multiply whats in the parenthesis first, so 3 times 4=12.

2)4 (2+12) i'm then going to multiply 4 by both numbers in the parenthesis (because multiplying comes before adding)

4 times 2= 8.   4 times 12= 48

4) (8+48)= 56 (answer)

i'm then going to solve 8+12x and plug in 4 for x.

1) 8 +12(4)

multiplying comes before adding, so i'm gonna multiply 12 and 4.

12 times 4= 48.

2) 8+48=56

both equal the same!
