At your construction job, you're standing on a ladder at ground level. first, you climb down 7 feet to see the basement. then you climb up 22 feet to see the second floor. later, you climb down 9 feet. how high above or below the ground are you?

7 feet below the ground

6 feet below the ground

9 feet above the ground

9 feet below the ground

6 feet above the ground

you end up 6 feet above the ground

Step-by-step explanation:

(-7) + 22 -9 = 6

there's the equation

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
