Answer: C

$\left \{ {{a_{1}=4 } \atop {a_{n}=a_{n-1}*(-3) }} \right.$

Step-by-step explanation:

The starting amount (a1) = 4

The rate is -3 because 4 * -3 = 12 and -12 and -12 * -3 = 36 etc.

Answer: C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first number is a positive 4, which is your a1. Then the geometric sequence goes to a negative implying that it is multiplied by a negative. So the a1 = 4 and it is being multiplied by a negative 3.

The true statement is Peter walks at a rate of 13 over 4 miles per hour.

<h3>What is the true statement?
</h3>

Direct variation is when two variables move in the same direction. If one variable increases, the other variable increases. When the hour Peter walks increases, the distance he walks also increases.

Here are the options:

Peter walks at a rate of StartFraction 4 over 13 EndFraction miles per hour.

Peter walks at a rate of 4 miles per hour.

Peter walks at a rate of StartFraction 13 over 4 EndFraction miles per hour.

Peter walks at a rate of 13 miles per hour.
