Jeff hiked for 2 hours and traveled 5 miles. if he continues at the same pace, which equation will show the relationship between the time, t, in hours he
hikes to distance, d, in miles? will the graph be continuous or discrete?
a) d = 0.4t, discrete
b) d = 0.4t, continuous
c) d = 2.5t, discrete
d) d = 2.5t, continuous
a: d = 2.5t, continuous < get those points fam.

d=2.5t , continous its not A,B,C the answer is D

add all the numbers and check the ones place.

the answer is 486. as the ones place is more than 4, the estimation will be the next 10 ie, 490

step-by-step explanation:

part a. the differences are decreasing, so we know the sequence is not arithmetic. the ratios are constant (=3/4), so we know the sequence is geometric.

part b. from part a, we know the common ratio is 3/4, so each term is 3/4 of the one before. the initial term is the number of gallons at h=1.

g[h] = (3/4)·g[h-1]

g[1] = 384 . . . . initial value required for a recursive definition

part c. the general formula for a geometric sequence is

a[n] = a[1]·r^(n-1)

we have a[1] = 384, r = 3/4, and the term number given by h. the formula that follows is

g[h] = 384·(3/4)^(h-1)

part d. filling in the value and doing the arithmetic, we have

g[12] = 384·(3/4)^11 ≈ 384·0.042235136 ≈ 16.2183 . . gallons

part e. each gallon is 4 quarts, so

16.2183 gal × 4 qt/gal = 64.8732 qt
