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
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
I believe your answer is 6 seconds.
Because the height of the ball = -16(x² - 5x - 6), when the height of the ball is 0, which is when it is on the ground, we can set -16(x² - 5x - 6) equal to 0. This also allows us to divide by -16, and then we can solve the equation:
x² - 5x - 6 = 0
(x - 6)(x + 1) = 0
So x = 6 or x = -1, and because a quantity of time cannot be negative, x would have to be 6, which means it takes 6 seconds for the ball to reach 0 feet.
I hope this helps!
