Julie is sliding down the Super Mega Ultra Slide at a local amusement park. She slides at a rate of 8 m/s downward, and after 3 seconds is 5 m off of the ground. Using the equation in slope-intercept form, how many seconds will it take her to slide to the ground from the top? Round your answer to the nearest tenth. *

89

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
