Anthropologists can estimate the height of a woman by measuring the length of her radius bone (from the wrist to the elbow). the length of the radius bone b is given by b=0.26h-18.85 where h is the height (in centimeters) of the woman. how do you solve 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
