Answer:

13,200 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

So, the rocket starts descending at a given rate and time, so we first need to find the length it passed during that descent.

Length equals to speed multiplied with time:

s = v • t

since speed is given in feet per second, we need to convert minutes to seconds; if one minute has 60 seconds, then two minutes have 120 seconds.

s = 15 feet/s • 120 s

s = 1800 feet

So, the rocket descended 1800 feet, but it still has 11,400 feet to the Moon's surface. That means that the rocket was on 11,400 + 1,800 = 13,200 feet elevation when it started to drop.

MrMuchimi
20,000 x 25 = 500,000
500,000 divided by 100 = 5,000 members are lost.
Members left = 15,000
Members added = 10,000
Members every year  = Members left + Members added
                                   =          15,000 +  10,000
                                   =          25,000

Step-by-step explanation:

a = 5

r = -5

n = 9

t_9 = a r^(n - 1)

t_9 = (-1)^n*5 (-5) ^ 8

t_9 = (-1)^9 *  5 *  (-5) ^8

t_9 = -1 ( 1953125)

t_9 = - 1953125
