Exit Slip: Suppose a balloon is filled with 5000 of helium. It then loses one fourth of its helium each day. • Write the geometric sequence that shows the amount of helium in the balloon at the start of each day for five days. • What is the common ratio of the sequence? • How much helium will be left in the balloon at the start of the tenth day.
