Answer: -8

Step-by-step explanation:

We must remember that, in geometric sequences, the ratio between the consecutive terms is constant.This is called "Common ratio" and is represented with "r".

We need to find the common ratio of this geometric sequence:

Divide one term by the previous term:

$r=\frac{-4}{-2}\\\\r=2$

Then, the next term asked in the exercise can be found by multiplying -4 by 2.

Therefore, this is:

$next\ term=(-4)(2)\\\\next\ term=-8$

The frame of film is actually 50 mm high, but it looks 16 m high on the screen.

Remember that 1 m = 1,000 mm.

So everything looks (16,000)/(50) = <u>320 times</u> as big on the screen
as it is on the film. That's called the scale factor.

The penguin is 35 mm high on the film. He'll look 320 times bigger on the screen.

(320) x (35 mm) = 11,200 mm = <u>11.2 meters</u> high

<u>Given function is:</u>

$f(x) = 4^x$

Put x = 4

So,

$f(4) = 4^4\\\\f(4) = 256\\\\\rule[225]{225}{2}$

A cheetah can run at its top speed for about 25 seconds. Complete the table to represent a cheetah running at a constant speed.

AleksandrR [38]

X = 650 + 60t

The cheetah must arrive at the same place at the same time:

x = 90t

650 + 60t = 90t

30t = 650

t = 650/30 ≅ 21.7 s

It takes the cheetah a little more than 20 s running at 90 ft/s to reach the moving antelope, so assuming the antelope can maintain its speed of 60, it is safe.
