Answer:

r= \frac{2}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum to infinity of a geometric series is calculated as

S∞ = \frac{a_{1} }{1-r} ; | r | < 1

where a₁ is the first term and r the common ratio

here a₁ = 15 and S∞ = 45 , then

45 = \frac{15}{1-r} ( multiply both sides by (1 - r ) )

45(1 - r) = 15 ( divide both sides by 45 )

1 - r = \frac{15}{45} = \frac{1}{3} ( subtract 1 from both sides )

- r = \frac{1}{3} - 1 = - \frac{2}{3} ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

r = \frac{2}{3}

Stels [109]

Using geometric sequence concepts, it is found that:

a) The rule is: P_n = 750000(0.5)^{n-1}.

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:

a_n = a_1q^{n-1}

In which a_1 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:

a_1 = 750000, q = 0.5.

Hence the nth term of the sequence is given by:

P_n = 750000(0.5)^{n-1}
