Note: The third term of the sequence should be
instead of
, otherwise the sequence has no common ratio.
Given:
The given sequence is

To find:
The common ratio of the given sequence.
Solution:
The quotient of each pair of consecutive terms are:

Similarly,


And,


Therefore, the common ratio of the given sequence is
or 0.75.
C is correct answer, passes through (5,-1) and also has slope of 3/4
The answer is b: 95.03 ft^2
Divide 5.5 by 2 to get the radius of 2.75.
Use 4(pi)(r)^2 to get the surface area of the sphere.
25 feet = 25 x 12 = 300 inches
First light is at 16 inches.
300 - 16 = 284 inches
Find the rest of the bulbs:
284 ÷ 4 = 71
Total number of lights = 71 + 1 = 72
Answer 72 lights
