Statement A swimming pool contains 500 gallons of water. A hose is turned on, and it fills the pool at a rate of 24 gallons per minute. Which expression represents the amount of water in the pool, in gallons, after 8 minutes? A. 500 . 24 . 8 B. 500 + 24 + 8 C. 500 + 24 . 8 D. 500 . 248

c. 500 + 24 * 8

Step-by-step explanation:

if there is 500 gallons of water already in the swimming pool and we are trying to add more and we are adding 24 gallons for 8 minutes to the already existing pool of water.

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
