Karolina [17]3 years ago

Answer:

Geometric sequence = ⁵/9, ⁵/3, 5, 15, 45. . .

Arithmetic sequence = 16, 11, 6, 1, -4 . . .

Step-by-step explanation:

A geometric sequence is a sequence of numbers, in which every number in the sequence after the first term is multiplied by a common ratio, which gives us the next term. The common ratio is the ratio of a term to the term before it.

On the other hand, an arithmetic sequence is a sequence of number have a common difference between each consecutive terms. This common difference is gotten by subtracting a term from the term before it.

Now let's examine each sequence given:

==>16, 11, 6, 1, -4 . . .

11 - 16 = -5

6 - 11 = -5

1 - 6 = -5

-4 - 1 = -5

This is an arithmetic sequence. The commons difference "-5" is the same

==>⁵/9, ⁵/3, 5, 15, 45. . .

⁵/3 ÷ ⁵/9 = ⁵/3 × ⁹/5 = ⁹/3 = 3

5 ÷ ⁵/3 = ⁵ × ⅗ = 3

15 ÷ 5 = 3

45 ÷ 15 = 3

The common ratio "3" is the same. This is a geometric sequence.

Taxicab Ride

Answer: Carlton's cabs is the cheaper option if she wants to travel 15 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear relationship can be written as:

c = a*n + b

where a is the slope (in this case, the rate per mile), n is the number of miles driven by the taxi, and b is the y-axis (in this case, the initial cost) intercept.

For a line that passes through the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), the slope can be written as:

a = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1).

Then for each table we only need to take two points and construct the linear equation:

Treveon's Taxis:

We can use the two points (1, $5.25) and (3, $9.75)

Then the rate per mile, or the slope, will be:

a = ($9.75 - $5.25)/(3 - 1) = $2.25

This means that each mile costs $2.25

Then the equation will be written as:

c = $2.25*n + b

To find the value of b, we can just replace one of the points in the equation. For example, I will se the point (1, $5.25) this means that we need to replace n  by 1, and c by $5.25

Then:

$5.25 = $2.25*1 + b

$5.25 - $2.25 = b

$3 = b

Then the initial cost here is $3.

And the equation will be:

c = $2.25*n + $3.

Carlton's Cabs:

Same approach as before, here I will use the points (1, $7.00) and (3, $10.50)

Then the rate per mile will be:

a = ($10.50 - $7.00)/(3 - 1) = $1.75

The rate per mile is $1.75 (is cheaper than in the previous case)

Then at the moment, the equation is:

c = $1.75*n + b

To find the initial cost, we do the same as before, here i will use the point (1, $7.00)

$7.00 = $1.75*1 + b

$7.00 - $1.75 = b

$5.25 = b

The initial cost here is $5.25

And the equation will be:

c = $1.75*n + $5.25

Now, which one is cheaper for 15 miles?

We only need to replace n by 15 in both equations, and see in which one the cost is lower:

Treveon's Taxis:

c(15) = $2.25*15 + $3 = $36.75

Carlton's Cabs:

c(15) = $1.75*15 + $5.25 = $31.5

Then Carlton's Cabs is a better option if you want to travel 15 miles.
