Hello : 
<span>the nth term of a geometric sequence is : 
Un = Up ×r^(n-p)    .   r is the common ratio 
for : p=5 and n= 2
U5 = U2 ×r^3
16 = -2 r^3
r^3 = -8
but : -8 = (-2)^3
so :  r = -2
Un = U2 × r^(n-2)
Un = -2 ×(-2)^(n-2)= (-2)^(n-2+1)

</span><span>the nth term of a geometric sequenceis : Un = (-2)^(n-1)</span>

A dog walker charges a flat rate of $6 per walk plus an hourly rate of $30. How much does the dog walker charge for a 45 minute
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

The function notation is given as:

$6 + $30 × x

f(x) = $6 + 30x

The dog walker charges $28.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the hourly rate be represented by x

A dog walker charges a flat rate of $6 per walk plus an hourly rate of $30.

The function notation is given as:

$6 + $30 × x

F(x) = $6 + 30x

How much does the dog walker charge for a 45 minute walk?

We have to convert 45 minutes to 1 hour

60 minutes = 1 hour

45 minutes = x

x = 45/60

x = 3/4(hour)

Putting that in the function notation:

f(x) = $6 + 30x

x = 3/4

$6 + 30(3/4)

$6 + $22.5

= $28.50

Therefore, the dog walker charges $28.50
