The common ratio of the given geometric sequence is the number that is multiplied to the first term in order to get the second term. Consequently, this is also the number multiplied to the second term to get the third term. This cycle goes on and on until a certain term is acquired. In this item, the common ratio r is,
r = t⁵/t⁸ = t²/t⁵
The answer, r = t⁻³.
The next three terms are,
n₄ = (t²)(t⁻³) = t⁻¹
n₅ = (t⁻¹)(t⁻³) = t⁻⁴
n₆ = (t⁻⁴)(t⁻³) = t⁻⁷
The answers for the next three terms are as reflected above as n₄, n₅, and n₆, respectively.

Answer:
2000 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
When the motorboat is moving downstream, its speed relative to the ground is 18 km/h, so its speed relative to the raft is 15 km/h.
When the motorboat is moving upstream, its speed relative to the ground is 12 km/h, so its speed relative to the raft is again 15 km/h.
Converted to m/min, the relative speed is:
15 km/h × (1000 m/km) × (1 h / 60 min) = 250 m/min
It takes the motorboat 16 minutes to travel to the front of the raft and back. Since the speed is the same in both directions, the motorboat takes 8 minutes to travel the length of the raft.
So the length of the raft is 250×8 = 2000 meters.
Answer:
2 is the greatest factor
Step-by-step explanation:
2x-8
We can factor out a 2 from each term
2 (x-4)
