Using geometric sequence concepts, it is found that:

a) The rule is: $P_n = 750000(0.5)^{n-1}$ .

b) An exponential relationship exists between the two variables.

<h3>What is a geometric sequence?</h3>

A geometric sequence is a sequence in which the result of the division of consecutive terms is always the same, called common ratio q.

The nth term of a geometric sequence is given by:

$a_n = a_1q^{n-1}$

In which $a_1$ is the first term.

A geometric sequence represents an exponential relationship between the variables.

In this problem, considering that the first-place finisher wins half of $1.500.000 in total prize money, and each finisher earns half of the one who finished above, the first term and the common ratio are given by:

$a_1 = 750000, q = 0.5$ .

Hence the nth term of the sequence is given by:

$P_n = 750000(0.5)^{n-1}$

The system of inequalities are
14.5·x + 9.5·y ≥ 140
7 ≤ y ≤ 10
x + y ≤ 15
2) 14.5·x + 9.5·y ≥ 140 represents the total amount of money Janine can earn
7 ≤ y ≤ 10 represents the range of values, Janine can spend dishwashing
x + y ≤ 15 represents the total number of hours Janine will like to work each week
3) 8 hours babysitting, 7 hours dishwashing
Step-by-step explanation:
The given parameters are;
The amount per hour Janine makes from babysits = $14.50
The amount per hour Janine makes from dishwashing = $9.50
The minimum number of hours Janine can spend dishwashing = 7 hours
The maximum number of hours Janine can spend dishwashing = 10 hours
The maximum number of hours Janine can work each week = 7 hours
The minimum amount she wants to make each week = $140
Let x represent the number of hours Janine spends babysitting and let y represent the number of hours Janine spends dishwashing
1) From the question, we have;
14.5·x + 9.5·y ≥ 140
7 ≤ y ≤ 10
x + y ≤ 15
2) Where
14.5·x + 9.5·y ≥ 140 represents the total amount of money Janine can earn
7 ≤ y ≤ 10 represents the range of values, Janine can spend dishwashing
x + y ≤ 15 represents the total number of hours Janine will like to work each week
Making, y, the subject of the formula of the above inequalities and plotting as functions is given as follows;
y ≥ 140/9.5 - (14.5/9.5)·x
y ≤ 15 - x
3) In order to earn as much money as possible given that the amount Janine earns from babysitting is more than the amount she earns from dishwashing, Janine should spend the least amount of time dishwashing, which is 7 hours, as given, and then spend the remaining 8 hours babysitting to receive $14.5 × 8 + $9.5×7 = $182.5
