The volume of a small packing box is "3x2 + 3x" in3 smaller than a large packing box with a volume of "5x2 − 2x + 10" in3. find a single expression that represents the size of a small packing box.

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
