First, we need to solve for the common ratio from the data given by using the equation.
a(n) = a(1) r^(n-1)
15 = -3 r^(2-1)
-5 = r
r = -5
Then, we can find the sum by the expression:
S(n) = a(1) ( 1 - r^n) / 1-r
S(8) = -3 (1 + 5^8) / 1+5
S(8) = -195313

The rate of change is 5/-4
Answer: 40
Step-by-step explanation:
I can see the answer is 40, but let's try to figure out how to do it.
I like to use the rule of 3. Let's put the number of passes on the left side and the number of games on the right side.

''x'' represents the number of passes in 15 games.
Solve for x;
