Is -3,12,-48... a arithmetic or geometric formula

  geometric sequence

Step-by-step explanation:

A list of 3 numbers is not a "formula". It is a "sequence."

The differences between the numbers are ...

  12 -(-3) = 15

  -48 -12 = -60

These are not constant, so the sequence is not arithmetic.

__

The ratios between the numbers are ...

  12/-3 = -4

  -48/12 = -4

These are constant, so the sequence is geometric.

__

The formula for the n-th term of a geometric sequence is ...

  an = a1·r^(n-1)

We have first term a1 = -3 and common ratio r = -4. So, the formula for this sequence is ...

  an = -3(-4)^(n-1)

let y equal to

the total fare and x is the mile of taxi ride. so the equation is

y = 0.55x + 1.75

since susie has

$10 to spend for a taxi cab, so he can have

10 = 0.55x +

1.75

x = 15 miles of

taxi ride

so the system of

inequality is

10 < 0.55x +

1.75

x > 2
