<h2>Common ratio = -1/2</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
term of a Geometric progression is given as
. The first term is given as
.
Any general Geometric progression can be represented using the series
.
The first term in such a GP is given by
, common ratio by
, and the
term is given by
.
In the given GP, 
∴ Common ratio is
.
The final value of the car will be given by:
final = origamt(1 - .20) to the 4th power. The car will retain therefore,only 80% of its original value from the preceding year for each of the 4 years starting with an original value of $35000.
The calculation is

A measely $14,336!
I have no idea. I'm sorry I havne'nt work on this stuff since 6th grade..
Answer:
18 units
Step-by-step explanation:
5+5=10
4+4=8
8+10=18 units
We can find the answer by solving the two equations simultaneously.
equation 1: y = -0.4x^2 +3xequation 2: x + y = 10
We need to write equation to with y as the subject:equation 2: y = 10 - x
equation 1 = equation 2:
10 - x = -0.4x^2 + 3x0.4x^2 - 4x + 10 = 02x^2 - 20 + 50 = 0(2x - 10)(x - 5) = 0x = -10/2 or x = 5
But x >= 0 (the question says it's a height above the water), so x = 5
Substituting x = 5 into one of the equations:
y = 10 - x
y = 10 - 5
y = 5
So the answer is C
