Robert stands atop a 1,380-foot hill. he climbs down, reaching the bottom of the hill in 30 minutes. what is robert’s average rate of elevation change in feet per minute?
a.
+460
b.
+46
c.
-46
or
d.
-460

-46 feet/min

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial elevation = 1,380 ft

Final Elevation = 0 feet

Change in elevation

= Final elevation - Initial Elevation

= 0 - 1,380

= - 1,380 feet

Given that the journey took 30 min,

rate of descent = Change in elevation / time

= -1,380 / 30

= - 46 feet/min

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2
