D(1)=2
d(n)=d(n−1)⋅(−2)^n

​What is the third term in the sequence?

- 16

Step-by-step explanation:

The way this is given, you have to find the second term before you can fine the third.

a2 = d(n - 1) * (-2)^2

a2 = 2 * (-2)^2

a2 = 2 * 4

a2 = 8

a3 = d(3 - 1) * (-2)^3

a3 = 2 * (-2)^3

a3 = 2 * - 8

a3 = - 16

given that triangle abc is transformed two times to get triangle

a"b"c"

first abc is transformed in to a'b'c' as follows:

the coordinates of a are (1,-1) and transformed into a'(-1,1)

similarly b (4,-2) became b'(-4,2) and

c(7,-2) became c'(-7,2)

i.e. (x,y) becomes (-x,-y)

this is nothing but reflection about a point here origin.

thus first transformation is reflection on the origin.

next is exactly shifting 3 units down
