Draw a triangle with shortest side on the ground (horiz.).  The length of this side is 80 feet.  Two angles touch the ground:  a right angle, and the 70 degree angle.
 
Then the height of the building is the 2nd shortest side.

The tangent function is the appropriate one to use here:
                       opp          h
tan 70 deg = -------- = ----------
                        adj        80 ft
                                                                h
Since tan 70 deg  = 2.75,          2.75 = -------
                                                              80 ft

so h = building height = (80 ft)(2.75) = 219.8 ft

Given a geometric sequence in the table below, create the explicit formula and list any restrictions to the domain.
Makovka662 [10]

Given:

The geometric sequence is:

n              a_n

1                        -4

2                      20

3                     -100

To find:

The explicit formula and list any restrictions to the domain.

Solution:

The explicit formula of a geometric sequence is:

a_n=ar^{n-1}            ...(i)

Where, a is the first term, r is the common ratio and n\geq 1.

In the given sequence the first term is -4 and the second term is 20, so the common ratio is:

r=\dfrac{a_2}{a_1}

r=\dfrac{20}{-4}

r=-5

Putting a=-4,r=-5 in (i), we get

a_n=-4(-5)^{n-1} where n\geq 1

Therefore, the correct option is B.
