Answer:

option C is correct, i.e. Mount Everest is about 23 times as tall as the Empire State Building .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given options are:-

A. There is no way to compare these heights .

B. Mount Everest is about 40 times as tall as the Empire State Building .

C. Mount Everest is about 23 times as tall as the Empire State Building .

D. The Empire State Building is about 23 times as tall as Mount Everest.

Given the height of Mount Everest is about 8.8×10^3 meters, and the height of the Empire State Building is about 3.8×10^2 meters.

Finding ratios of given heights:-

\frac{Mount\;\;Everest}{Empire\;\;State\;\;Building} =\frac{8.8*10^3m}{3.8*10^2m} \\\\\frac{Mount\;\;Everest}{Empire\;\;State\;\;Building} =23.15789474 \approx 23 \\\\Mount\;\;Everest=23*(Empire\;\;State\;\;Building)

Hence, option C is correct, i.e. Mount Everest is about 23 times as tall as the Empire State Building .

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!<br> What is the 8th term of this sequence? 1,-1/2,1/4,-1/8
Tom [10]
This is a geometric sequence with first term 1 and common ratio -1/2.  r=-1/2.

a(n) = a(1)*(r)^(n-1). 

Check:  If n=2 our formula must return -1/2.  Does it?

a(2) =    1(-1/2)^(2-1)  =  (-1/2)^1 = - 1/2.  Yes.
a(3) should be 1/4.  Is it?     a(3) = (-1/2)^(3-1) = 1/4    Yes. 

Then a(8) = (-1/2)^(8-1) = (-1/2)^7 = -1 / 2^7  = -1/128 (answer)
