We take the function as a sequence
Term 1 ⇒ 5
Term 2 ⇒ 4
Term 3 ⇒ 3.2
Between terms, there is a common ratio of ⁴/₅
We get it from here:
Term 2 / Term 1 =
Term 3 / Term 2 =
=
When a sequence has a common ratio between term, the sequence is a Geometric Sequence
Where
is the first term,
is the common ratio, and
is the term number
We have:
and
The formula for the function is
The total travelled for the first five hours eould be 450 km and divided by three leaves 150 km per 1/5 of his journey. travelling at 75 km per hour, it would take 4 hours to get through the remaining 300 km for him trip leaving a total time of 9 hours of traveling
