The formula for any geometric sequence is an = a1 · rn - 1, where an represents the value of the nth term, a1 represents the value of the first term, r represents the common ratio, and n represents the term number. What is the formula for the sequence -3, -6, -12, -24, ...?

an = -3 · 2 n - 1
an = -3 · (-2) n - 1
an = 2 · (-3) n - 1
an = -2 · (-3) n - 1

Answer: an = -3 · 2^n - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

In a geometric series, the consecutive terms differ by a common ratio. The formula for determining the nth term of a geometric progression is expressed as

an = a1 × r^(n - 1)

Where

a1 represents the first term of the sequence.

r represents the common ratio.

n represents the number of terms.

Looking at the given sequence,

a = - 3

r = - 6/ - 3 = 2

Therefore, the formula for the sequence is

an = - 3 × 2^(n - 1)

Givethanks, an Indian, wants to have a turkey dinner. He and his “dog”, Wolf, go looking for a turkey. While on this turkey hunt, they come across a field of corn. Givethanks just has to have some of the corn and picks some to take home. While in the corn field, Givethanks spots the biggest turkey he has ever seen and captures it. On the way home to his village, Givethanks and Wolf come to a river where there is a small boat that will only fit Givethanks and one other thing. Now, Givethanks wants to get Wolf, the turkey and the corn across the river, but Wolf will eat the turkey if they are left alone and the turkey will eat the corn if it is left alone with the corn.
