Daniel is on an airplane flying to a destination 825 miles away. After one hour, the pilot announces that the plane is 495 miles away from its destination airport. In another hour, the pilot announces that the plane will begin its half-hour descent for the final 165 miles. Which equation represents the remaining distance, in miles, to the destination in terms of t, the time, in hours, since leaving the airport? d = 825 – 165t d = 825 – 330t d = 825 + 165t d = 825 + 330t

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
