So hmm the first term is -2

and if we divide one term by the term before it, we'd get the "common ratio" "r"

so hmm say -32/8 that gives us -4, so r = -4

thus \bf n^{th}\textit{ term of a geometric sequence}\\\\
a_n=a_1r^{n-1}\qquad 
\begin{cases}
a_1=\textit{first term}\\
r=\textit{common ratio}\\
----------\\
a_1=-2\\
r=-4
\end{cases}\implies a_n=-2(-4)^{n-1}

At noon Joyce drove to the lake at 30 miles per hour. but she made the long walk back home at 4 miles per hour. How long did she
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

60 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

let d = distance to the lake

Using:  time = distance ÷ speed

Create expressions for the time it takes for each journey:

Drive:  t_1=\dfrac{d}{30}

Walk:   t_2=\dfrac{d}{4}

If total time = 17 hours

\implies t_1+t_2=17

\implies \dfrac{d}{30}+\dfrac{d}{4}=17

\implies \dfrac{17d}{60}=17

\implies 17d=1020

\implies d=\dfrac{1020}{17}

\implies d=60

Therefore she walked 60 miles
