This is a geometric series with common ratio 2.
The nth term is un = -3*2(n-1)
So u11 = -3*2(11-1) = -3*210 = -3*1024 = -3072
18 - 6n
12 - 5(n-1)
The nth term of the sequence -4 4 12 20 29 is 8n+12 because each time the sequence is adding 8 which is where the 8n comes from. Then you take 8 away from -4 and because a - and - equal a + the answer is 12. Which is where the 12 comes from. Hope I helped.
The sequence in the question is NOT an arithmetic sequence. In an arithmetic sequence the difference between each term and its predecessor (the term immediately before) is a constant - including the sign. It is not enough for the difference between two successive terms (in any order) to remain constant. In the above sequence, the difference is -7 for the first two intervals and then changes to +7.
The counting sequence is making increments of 11,that is, the n-th term will = 11 x nn = 12,t = 12 x 11= 132
It is: -3072
It is: -3072
A geometric sequence is a sequence where each term is a constant multiple of the preceding term. This constant multiplying factor is called the common ratio and may have any real value. If the common ratio is greater than 0 but less than 1 then this produces a descending geometric sequence. EXAMPLE : Consider the sequence : 12, 6, 3, 1.5, 0.75, 0.375,...... Each term is half the preceding term. The common ratio is therefore ½ The sequence can be written 12, 12(½), 12(½)2, 12(½)3, 12(½)4, 12(½)5,.....

Yes, that's what a geometric sequence is about.
The nth term of the sequence -4 4 12 20 29 is 8n+12 because each time the sequence is adding 8 which is where the 8n comes from. Then you take 8 away from -4 and because a - and - equal a + the answer is 12. Which is where the 12 comes from. Hope I helped.
