Do you mean a_(n+1), worded a sub (n+1)?
If so yes. If the function of the sequence is getting smaller or more negative with each term.
Helen runs the longest distance in 4 days.
Helen (In 4 days): 2.75 x 4 = 11
Bill (In 4 days): 10
11 (Helen) > 10 (Bill), so therefore Helen runs the longest distance in 4 days.
Using the pairs (1,32) and (2,64) the rate of speed is (64-32 / 2-1 = 32 feet per second.
To find the rate of decent you would multiply the rate by time:
The equation is y = 32x
B. Replace x with 15 and solve for y:
Y = 32(15)
Y = 480
The rate of speed is 480 feet per second.
The scenario is wrong. according to the three other tools, the hot air balloon would be increasing in altitude, not descending.
