NEED HELP , In a geometric sequence the first term, a1 , is equal to 5 and the fourth term, a4 , is equal to 135. Which number represents the common ratio of the geometric sequence? r=1 r=2 r=3 r=4

- "runner b is moving at a slower rate."

- "the graphs shown are graphs of distance(km) against time(min).

the slopes of this graphs are are given by:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

= (change in distance)/(change in time)

this is the formula for finding the speed. so, the slope of these graphs represent the speed of the runner.

taking each division in the graph to represent 1 on both axis:

runner a ⇒ speed = (2-0)/(1-0)

= 2/1

= 2 km/min

runner b ⇒ speed = (3-0)/(3-0)

= 3/3

= 1 km/min

this shows that   runner b is moving at a slower rate."

where are the graphs?

step-by-step explanation:

24,18t

step-by-step explanation:

b

step-by-step explanation:

multiply terms on numerator/ denominator by (x - 1)

= ← distribute numerator/ denominator

= ← simplify

=

= → b
