The common ratio of a geometric sequence is the ratio of any term to the one before it. Here, you can find it by
... 6/-2 = -3
or, if you prefer the minus sign in the numerator, ...
... -18/6 = -3
or the ratio of any other sequential terms.
The common ratio is -3.
<u>Answer:</u>
The right graph is the first one (figure attached).
Note that in a Speed vs Time graph, the constant speed is represented by a line with slope=0 <u>(for example, segment 1)</u>, when the speed increases the slope is positive <u>(for example, segment 2)</u> and when the speed decreases the slope is negative <u>(for example, segment 4).</u>
Now, if we want to prove this, let’s read again the problem, <u>dividing each section of the path Marc drove to his work</u> (see figure attached):
1. He slowly pulls out of his driveway at a <u>constant speed
</u>
2. and then his <u>speed increases</u> steadily
3. until he reaches the speed limit. He uses cruise control to drive the speed limit <u>(he drives at constant speed)</u>
4. until he comes upon some traffic
(usually if you find some traffic you have to <u>derease your spped</u>)
5. He then slows down to a new <u>constant speed</u>.
6. When he gets near his office, his <u>speed steadily decreases</u> until he comes to a stop right in front of his office building <u>(at this point the speed is zero)</u>
Answer:
2.5

Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
Evaluate 7 (x - 1) + 8 where x = 1:
7 (x - 1) + 8 = 7 (1 - 1) + 8
1 - 1 = 0:
7×0 + 8
0×7 = 0:
0 + 8
0 + 8 = 8:
Answer: 8
