Ugh I hate these... Inverse property of multiplication.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The recursive rule is given by;
a = r .an-1 where n is the number of terms.
Given the sequence: -64, -16, -4 , -1, ....
This sequence is a geometric sequence with common ratio (r) = 1/4
Here, first term a1 = -64
Since,
\frac{-16}{-64} = \frac{1}{4}
\frac{-4}{-16} = \frac{1}{4} and so on....
The recursive rule for this sequence is;
an = 1/4*an-1

Answer:
5 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose the front parts of the trains meet at point A. Since both are the same length and traveling the same speed, each will pass point A in time ...
time = distance/speed
time = (1/18 mi)/(40 mi/h) = (1/720 h) × (3600 s)/(1 h) = 5 s
That is, the rear part of each train will be at point A 5 seconds after the front part.
The rear parts will pass each other 5 seconds after the front parts meet.
