The stopping distance of a car is directly proportional to the square of the speed of the car. If a car traveling 50 miles per h

our has a stopping distance of 170 feet, find the stopping distance of a car that is traveling 70 miles per hour

70 / 50 = 1.4
1.4 * 1.4 = 1.96
So, the stopping distance increases by a factor of 1.96
170 feet * 1.96 = 333.20 feet

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!! CORRECT ANSWER ONLY PLEASE!!!

Answer: (B) -625

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Given the sequence {-500, -100, -20, -4, -0.8, ... }, we know that that the first term (a) is -500 and the ratio (r) is $\dfrac{-100}{-500}=\dfrac{1}{5}$

Input those values into the Sum formula:

$S_n=\dfrac{a(1-r^n)}{1-r}\\\\S_8=\dfrac{-500\bigg(1-\dfrac{1}{5}^n\bigg)}{1-\dfrac{1}{5}}\\\\.\quad=\dfrac{-500\bigg(1-\dfrac{1}{390,625}\bigg)}{\dfrac{4}{5}}\\\\.\quad=\dfrac{-500\bigg(\dfrac{390,624}{390,625}\bigg)}{\dfrac{4}{5}}\\\\.\quad=\dfrac{5(-500)(390,624)}{4(390,625)}\\\\.\quad=-624.998\\\\.\quad=-625\quad \text{(rounded to 2 decimal places)}$
