Answer:

D

-29

Step-by-step explanation:

Problem 1

In the first hour, the number of bacteria is 22

In the second hour,the number of bacteria is 44

It looks like the formula is some multiple of 22

That means you should pick D

Problem 2

n = 12

a = 15

d = - 4

an= 15 + (n - 1)*d

a12 = 15 + 11*(-4)

a12 = 15 - 44

a12 = - 29
