Given:
descends at a rate of 320 feet per minute for 3 minutes.
320 feet per minute * 3 minutes = 960 feet
Total change in altitude is 960 feet. Since it is descending, I believe it would be a negative 960 feet.
Point A altimeter reading: +450
Point B altimeter reading: -50
Answer:
1109
Step-by-step explanation:
The first term is -27, and the common difference is 16.
The nth term is:
a = a₁ + d (n − 1)
a = -27 + 16 (n − 1)
a = -27 + 16n − 16
a = 16n − 43
The 72nd term is:
a = 16(72) − 43
a = 1109
