Once the number of infected people by the plague reduced was reduced at the end of the Fifteenth Century, the population grew exponentially, thus creating a higher demand for services and goods.
<span> 80/-40=-40/20=-2,
the sequence: 80, -40, 20 is a geometric sequence
its general formula is Vn+1 = q Vn, where q= -2,
if we put </span>Vn+1 = f(x)
<span> Vn = x
so we have f(x)= -2x so the graph that represents the sequence is graph of linear equation
