Answer

The distance the olive will fall during the fifth second is 144 feet. The distance the olive will fall during the sixth second is 176 feet. The distance the olive will fall during the seventh second is 208 feet.

Work Step by Step

For $a_{n} = 32n - 16$, with n = number of the second The distance the olive will fall during the fifth second (n = 5) is $a_{5} = 32\times5 - 16$ = 144 feet The distance the olive will fall during the sixth second (n = 6) is $a_{6} = 32\times6 - 16$ = 176 feet The distance the olive will fall during the seventh second (n = 7) is $a_{7} = 32\times7 - 16$ = 208 feet
