Translate: The product of 8 and the sum of a number and -4

Below

Let x be that number

● 8 (x-4)

C. The situation represents a geometric sequence because the successive y-values have a common ratio of 1.05.

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial number of accidents = 5200 = Po

It increases 5% every year.

So r = 5% = 0.05

y = Po(1 + r)^x

y = 5200(1 + 0.05)^x

y = 5200(1.05)^x

This sequence is an exponential. Which is a geometric sequence.

C. The situation represents a geometric sequence because the successive y-values have a common ratio of 1.05.

Thank you.
