Answer: The sequence is: An = -2*8^(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

 geometric sequence is of the form:

An = a*r^(n-1)

where can be any positive integer number.

here the first two numbers are -2 and -16, so we have that:

A1 = a*r^(0) = a = -2

now, we know that our sequence is of the form:

An = -2*r^(n-1)

now, for n= 2 we have that:

A2 = -2*r^(1) = -2*r = -16

r = -16/-2 = 8

now we have determinated our sequence:

An = -2*8^(n-1)

Convert 2000 ft./min. to miles per hour round to the nearest 10th
Serggg [28]

Answer:

The conversion of 2000 ft per min into miles per hour is 2.268 miles per hour .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The speed = s = 2000 ft per min

Now, ∵ 5280 feet = 1 miles

so, 1 feet = \dfrac{1}{5280} miles

∴ 2000 feet =  \dfrac{1}{5280} × 2000 miles

i.e 2000 feet = 0.378 miles

<u>Again</u>

∵ 1 minute = \dfrac{1}{60} hour

So, The speed in miles per hour

s = \dfrac{distance}{time}

∴ s = \frac{0.378}{\frac{1}{60}}

i.e s = 2.268 miles per hour

Hence, The conversion of 2000 ft per min into miles per hour is 2.268 miles per hour . answer
