B Manuel is leaving Boston to go on a hike at Mt.
Monadnock, in New Hampshire. He mapped out a
route with the map scale of 1 in. = 25 mi and found the
total distance on the map to be about 3.2 inches. What
is the actual distance Manuel will travel?
miles
Bu
1 in. = 25 mi

b. 6

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the table representing an exponential function.

we can see from the table that, as x is increasing, the value of y is increasing in the power of 6.

i.e. the following relation is obtained,

x = 1, y = 6

x = 2, y = 36 =

x = 3, y = 216 =

x = 4, y = 1296 =

x = 5, y = 7776 =

so, the geometric series obtained is .

thus, the common ratio is given by = = 6.

hence, the common ratio is 6.
