Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

there is a common ratio between consecutive terms , that is

9 ÷ - 3 = - 27 ÷ 9 = 81 ÷ - 27 = - 3

this indicates the sequence is geometric.

the recursive formula allows a term in the sequence to be found by multiplying the previous term by the common ratio r , that is

f(n) = - 3f(n - 1) if n > 1 : f(1) = - 3

An athlete trains on a circular track of radius 40 m and jogs 10 laps each day, 5 days a week. How far does he jog each week? Ro

mariarad [96]

Length of a circle=2πr
r=40 m
Length of the circular track=2*π*40m=80π m.

The athelete jogs each day 10 laps
1 lap-------------------80π m
10 laps------------- x
x=(10 laps * 80π m) / 1 lap=800π m

Calculate how far he jog eache week (5 days).
1 day------------------800π m
5 days---------------- x
x=(5 days*800π m)/1day=4000π m=4000m * 3.141592...≈12566,37 m

solution: 12566 m
