Answer:
6561 / 128
Step-by-step explanation:
The nth term of a geometric sequence is:
a = a₁ (r)ⁿ⁻¹
The first term is 3, and the fourth term is 81/8.
81/8 = 3 (r)⁴⁻¹
27/8 = r³
r = 3/2
The eighth term is therefore:
a = 3 (3/2)⁸⁻¹
a = 6561 / 128
A blue whale weighs more than an African elephant by 111.5 tons
African elephant= 15,000/2,000= 7.5 tons
Blue whale weighs 238,000/2,000=
119 tons
119-7.5 = 111.5 tons
As shown in the figure below the answer is the last option:

The roots of the polynomial in the denominator are:


So, the inequality can be written as follows:

From this inequality we can study the signs and get the same conclusion just as shows the graph.
