Use the ratio version of Kepler’s third law and the orbital information of Mars to determine Earth’s distance from the Sun. Mars’s orbital period is 687 days, and Mars’s distance from the Sun is 2.279 × 1011 m. 1.49 × 1011 m 1.49 × 1033 m 3.34 × 1011 m 3.34 × 1033 m

b. 6

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the table representing an exponential function.

we can see from the table that, as x is increasing, the value of y is increasing in the power of 6.

i.e. the following relation is obtained,

x = 1, y = 6

x = 2, y = 36 =

x = 3, y = 216 =

x = 4, y = 1296 =

x = 5, y = 7776 =

so, the geometric series obtained is .

thus, the common ratio is given by = = 6.

hence, the common ratio is 6.
