a.
In order to find the common ratio, we just need to divide a term by the term that comes before it.
So using the terms 20 and -5, we have:

b.
The recursive rule can be found with the formula:

Where an is the nth term and q is the ratio. So we have:

c.
The explicit rule can be written as:

Where an is the nth term, a1 is the first term and q is the ratio. So:
Answer:
-1
Step-by-step explanation:
1) 3x=(4x+50-30)/2
x=10
Explanation: (1/2)(big arc - small arc), plug in the numbers and solve
2) 15•x=33•10
x=22
Explanation: a•b=c•d, plug in the numbers and solve
3) (x+8)•8=(24+4)•4
x=6
Explanation: W•E=W•E, whole•external part= whole•external, plug in the numbers and solve

Answer:
445.10 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The relation between angle of depression and distance to the boat is ...
Tan = Opposite/Adjacent
tan(angle of depression) = (200 ft)/(distance to boat)
Then the distance to the boat is ...
distance to boat = (200 ft)/tan(angle of depression)
__
We want the change in distance between the two angles, so ...
change in distance = (200 ft)/tan(17°31') -(200 ft)/tan(46°41')
= (200 ft)(cot(17°31') -cot(46°41'))
change in distance ≈ 445.10 ft
