At a local restaurant, the health inspector visits every 7 days, and the fire inspector visits every 12 days.
make a table for the next 4 visits for each inspector.
in how many days will both inspectors visit on the same day? show your work.

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
