Using geometric sequence concepts, it is found that:
a) The rule is:
.
b) An exponential relationship exists between the two variables.
<h3>What is a geometric sequence?</h3>
A geometric sequence is a sequence in which the result of the division of consecutive terms is always the same, called common ratio q.
The nth term of a geometric sequence is given by:

In which
is the first term.
A geometric sequence represents an exponential relationship between the variables.
In this problem, considering that the first-place finisher wins half of $1.500.000 in total prize money, and each finisher earns half of the one who finished above, the first term and the common ratio are given by:
.
Hence the nth term of the sequence is given by:

Jjbbh I don’t under stand
Answer:
The elevator stops on the 19th floor.
Step-by-step explanation:
On the 16th floor, goes up 12 floors:
16 + 12 = 28
On the 28th floor, goes down 7 floors:
28 - 7 = 21
On the 21st floor, does up 3 floors:
21 + 3 = 24
On the 24th floor, goes down 5 floors:
24 - 5 = 19
