Let p= the price of a ticket
Let c= the cost to put on the show

Formula:
(profit) = (ticket price) * (number of people) - (cost to put on show)
We have two equations here:
500=120p-c
400=100p-c
Solve:
100=20p
⇒p=5
⇒400=100(5)-c
⇒400=500-c
⇒c=100

So the price of a ticket is $5, and the cost to put on the show is $100.

Step-by-step explanation:

a geometric sequence means that every term is created by multiplying the previous term by a certain constant factor. this factor is called the "common ratio".

so,

6×r = 18

r = 18/6 = 3

and a quick check tells us this works also for the next terms (18×3 = 54, 54×3 = 162), so it is indeed a geometric sequence with common ratio 3.

a0 = 6

a1 = a0 × 3 = 6×3 = 18

a2 = a1 × 3 = a0 × 3×3 = 6×3² = 54

an = a0 × 3^n = 6 × 3^n

so,

f(x) = 6×3^x, x is integer, x >=0
