Here are the first four terms of a sequence: 3, 12, 48 and 192.
(a) Work out the common ratio for this sequence.
(b) Work out the nth term of this sequence.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

look below

Step-by-step explanation:

The common ratio is 1:4 because we are multiplying the previous number by 4

The nth term for this sequence is quite simple. To find the nth term, take the base, 3, and multiply by the nth 4th. This can be written as 3*4^n+1

I hope this helped!

It would be greatly appreciated if you marked this answer as brainliest!

Answer 2

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

the sequence is geometric and has common ratio r

(a)

r = [tex]\frac{a_{2} }{a_{1} }[/tex] = [tex]\frac{12}{3}[/tex] = 4

(b)

the nth term of a geometric sequence is

[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = a₁ [tex]r^{n-1}[/tex]

where a₁ is the first term and r the common ratio

here a₁ = 3 and r = 4 , then

[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = 3 . [tex]4^{n-1}[/tex]

At a baseball game, the Rebelos orrdered 2 hot dogs and 3 cheese burgers and paid $20.00. The Caines ordered 2 hot dogs and 5 cheeseburgers and paid $29.00. What is the cost of one cheeseburger?

Answers

Answer:

$4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Hot dogs=h

Cheese burgers=c

2h+3c=20

2h+5c=29

There are two ways to solve-

1. Elimination- multiply the bottom by -1.

2h+3c=20

-2h-5c=-29

-2c=-9

c=4.5

2. Just move 2h, and you get 2c=9, 4.5

Answer:

5280 ft/1 mi, 1848 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Whatever unit is given on the top (miles), you will write it on the bottom of the second fraction. Since we are solving for length in feet, we know that the numerator will be in feet. The only answer choice that has this option is 5280 ft/ 1 mi. You can check this math by taking 0.35 of 5280 feet, or 1 mile = 1848 ft.

[tex]\frac{0.35 mi}{1} *\frac{?ft}{?mi}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{0.35 mi}{1} *\frac{5280 ft}{1mi}[/tex]        (miles cancels out, left with feet)

[tex]\frac{1848ft}{1}[/tex]

1848 feet

A bird flies up and then down again, approximately following the
parabola y = -0.5x^2 + 15x. y measures height in feet.
Approximately what is the highest height that the bird flew to?

Answers

Answer:

112.5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The maximum is achieved at vertex of parabola.

The x- coordinate of the vertex is determined by x = - b/(2a).

x = - 15/(-0.5*2) = 15

The maximum height is the corresponding y- coordinate

y = - 0.5(15²) + 15(15) = 112.5 ft

Find vertex

x coordinate

-b/2a-15/-115

Y coordinate (Max height)

y=-0.5(15)²+15(15)y=-0.5(225)+225y=112.5ft

The function [tex]y=0.3^x[/tex] represents exponential growth with the initial value equal to 1, the decay factor equal to 0.3, and the rate equal to 0.7.

Population Growth Equation

The formula for the Population Growth Equation is:

[tex]P_f=P_o*(1+\frac{R}{100}) ^t[/tex]

           

Pf= future population

Po=initial population

r=growth rate

t= time (years)

growth or decay factor =  (1 ±r)

When 1+R  > 1, the equation represents growth, while 1+R < 1 the equation represents decay.

The question gives:

[tex]y=0.3^x[/tex], then

Pf=y

Po= 1  

[tex](1+\frac{R}{100}) =0.3[/tex] , thus

[tex](100+R}) =30\\ \\ R=-100+30\\ \\ R=-70[/tex]

r= -70%= -0.7

decay factor= (1-0.7)=0.3

Therefore,

1+R will be = 1+(-0.7)=1 - 0.7 =0.3

When 1+R >1, the function represents exponential growth.

Trinomial and binomial categorize it even more by the number of terms the polynomial has. There are two terms, so we are dealing with a binomial. The prefix bi means "two"

Answer:

Binomial with degree 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The polynomial 3x⁵ + 3 is a binomial with degree 5.

Every second, an elevator either has a 50% chance of going up and a 50% chance of going down. If the elevator starts at floor 15, what is the probability that, after 5 seconds, the elevator is at floor 18?

Answers

Using it's concept, it is found that there is a 0.1563 = 15.63% probability that, after 5 seconds, the elevator is at floor 18.

What is a probability?

A probability is given by the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

Starting at floor 15, these are the following outcomes that result in the elevator being at floor 18 in 5 seconds, each with [tex]0.5^5[/tex] probability:

4 up, 1 down.3 up, 1 down, 1 up.1 down, 4 up.1 up, 1 down, 3 up.2 up, 1 down, 2 up.

5 outcomes, hence the probability is:

[tex]p = 5 \times (0.5)^5 = 0.1563[/tex]

0.1563 = 15.63% probability that, after 5 seconds, the elevator is at floor 18.

formula

=a+b/2×h

Answer: 126 mm^2.

Step-by-step explanation: When finding the area of a trapezoid, you need to add two bases, multiply the height, and divide it all in half.  The steps are done below:

First, we need to find the bases and the height.  The bases are are circled below, but it's basically the top and bottom lengths of the triangle.  Base 1 doesn't have to be 10 either, it can be 18 base 2 can be 10, whichever works for you.  All you need is to assign each base with a top or bottom length.  The height is how tall the trapezoid is, which is also circled below.Secondly, we need to add the bases and multiply the height. B1 is base 1, b2 is base 2, and h is the height.  It should look like this: 10 (b1) + 18(b2) = 28, then 28 x 9(h) = 252.Lastly, we need to divide 252 in half, which you can do in two ways.  You can either simply divide 252 by 2, or multiply 252 by 1/2, which both give you the answer 126 mm^2, which is your answer.

• Solve the system. Show all of your steps.
.
How many of each item did you rent?

Answers

Answer:

Variables

Let m = number of movies rented

Let g = number of video games rented

Given:

cost of renting one movie = $2cost of renting one video game = $3total money spent = $13total rentals = 5

System of equations

m + g = 5

2m + 3g = 13

Solution

Rewrite  m + g = 5  to make m the subject:

⇒ m = 5 - g

Substitute this equation into  2m + 3g = 13 and solve for g:

⇒ 2(5 - g) + 3g = 13

⇒ 10 - 2g + 3g = 13

⇒ 10 + g = 13

⇒ g = 3

Substitute found value of g into  m = 5 - g  and solve for m:

⇒ m = 5 - 3

⇒ m = 2

Therefore, 2 movies and 3 video games were rented.

F(x) =3x+8 find the inverse of f(x)

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi!

To find the inverse, first we express your function as:

y = 3x - 8

Then, we interchange x and y variables:

x = 3y - 8

From there, we isolate y:

x + 8 = 3y

x/3 + 8/3 = y

Then, the inverse, g(x) = (x+8)/3.

We can check this by getting g(f(x)):

(f(x) + 8)/3 = (3x - 8 + 8)/3 = 3x /3 = x.

This is correct by the definition of the inverse function.

You can also think about the inverse as a "reverse function", so for example, in f(x) = 3x-8, x is multiplied by 3, then 8 is subtracted from it.

If we are to go from f(x) to x, we first add 8 (to reverse the subtraction), then divide by 3 (to reverse the multiplication).

This means g(y) = (y+8)/3, the same answer.

Hope this helps!
