Bob's skate shop had a profit of $3,563 during the month of august. the company models its profit using p=x^2+10x-12 where x is the number of skateboards the company sells. how many skateboards did the company sell during the month of august?

see explanation

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

i think the answer is b
