Answer:
[tex]a_{n+1}=0.2a_n[/tex] for all n>0, [tex]a_1=16[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let [tex]\{a_n\}=\{16,3.2,0.64,0.128,\cdots \}[/tex] be the sequence described.
A geometric sequence has the following property: there exists some r (the ratio of the sequence) such that [tex]\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}=r[/tex] forr all n>0.
To find r, note that
[tex]\frac{3.2}{16}=\frac{32}{10(16)}=\frac{2}{10}=\frac{1}{5}=0.2[/tex]
Similarly
[tex]\frac{0.64}{3.2}=\frac{64}{10(32)}=\frac{1}{5}=0.2[/tex]
[tex]\frac{0.128}{0.64}=\frac{1}{5}=0.2[/tex]
Thus [tex]a_{n+1}=r a_n=\frac{a_n}{5}=0.2a_n[/tex] for all n>0, and [tex]a_1=16[/tex]
first term = 16
average ratio = 0.2

The height of water in a rectangular tank is given by h(w), where w is the volume of water (in liters) that has been removed from the tank. The height of the water decreases 10mm per liter removed.
a. From the time when 7 L have been removed to the time when 15 L have been removed, the accumulated change in the height of the water is
b. If the initial height of the water is 600mm, then the height of the water after w liters have been removed is
Answer:
a) ΔL = 80mm
b) h = 600 - 10w mm
Step-by-step explanation:
a. From the time when 7 L have been removed to the time when 15 L have been removed, the change in the volume has been 8L and how the height of the water decreases 10mm per liter removed, then the acumulate change in the height of water has been (8lt)(10mm/lt) = 80 mm
b) If w liters have been removed, then the change in the height of water is (10mm/lt)(wlt) = 10w mm and thus the water's height at this precise point in time is 600 - 10w mm

Megan’s art class painted two regular murals.The size of the first mural is shown below.
Answer:C) 4 feet and 12 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagram of the first mural is shown. The formula for determining the perimeter of a rectangle is expressed as
Perimeter of rectangle = 2(L + W)
The length of the first mural is given as 8ft while the width of the first mural is given as 6 ft. The perimeter becomes
P = 2(8 + 6) = 2×14 = 28ft
The area of a rectangle is expressed as L×W
The area if the first mural would be
6 × 8 = 48ft^2
The second mural has the same area as the first mural but has a different perimeter. The side lengths of the second mural are
4 ft and 12ft
Area = 4×12 = 48 ft^2
Perimeter = 2(12+4) = 32ft
So area is the same and perimeter is different.

Answer:
(x, y) = (-3 5/8, 1 5/16)
Step-by-step explanation:
Add y+14 to the second equation to get ...
3.5x +14 = y
Substitute this for y in the first equation:
2.5x -3(3.5x +14) = -13
2.5x -10.5x -42 = -13
-8x = 29
x = -29/8 = -3 5/8
Using this in the formula for y, we get ...
3.5(-29/8) +14 = y
-203/16 +14 = y = 21/16 = 1 5/16
Answer : The value of x and y is, 4 and 27 respectively.
Step-by-step explanation :
The given equations are:
[tex]2.5x-3y=-13[/tex] ...........(1)
[tex]3.25x-y=-14[/tex] .........(2)
or,
[tex]y=3.25x+14[/tex] ..........(3)
Now put equation 3 in 1, we get the value of 'x'.
[tex]2.5x-3y=-13[/tex]
[tex]2.5x-3(3.25x+14)=-13[/tex]
[tex]2.5x-9.75x-42=-13[/tex]
[tex]-7.25x=-13+42[/tex]
[tex]-7.25x=29[/tex]
[tex]x=-\frac{29}{7.25}[/tex]
[tex]x=-4[/tex]
Now put the value of 'x' in equation 3, we get the value of 'y'.
[tex]y=3.25x+14[/tex]
[tex]y=3.25(4)+14[/tex]
[tex]y=13+14[/tex]
[tex]y=27[/tex]
Therefore, the value of x and y is, 4 and 27 respectively.
Two roads that cross at right angles are used as coordinate axes for a map. A library is located at point L . Use the drop-down menus to complete the statements about the location of the library.
The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:
Two roads that cross at right angles are used as coordinate axes for a map. A library is located at point L.
Use the drop-down menus to complete the statements about the location of the library.
(a) The library is located at point (_,_).
(b) The library is __ miles from Road X and __ miles from Road Y.
Answer:
(a) The library is located at point (3.25, -1.5).
(b) The library is 1.5 miles from Road X and 3.25 miles from Road Y
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The roads are at right angles to each other. Point 'L' is the location of the library.
(a)
From the graph, we can conclude that,
The length of each square in the graph is 0.5 miles. So,
The coordinates of point L are (3.25, -1.5).
The 'x' value is 3.25 and the 'y' value is -1.5.
Since the point 'L' is the location of library, therefore, the library is located at point (3.25,-1.5).
(b)
The distance of point L from road X is obtained by moving vertically up from point L till we reach the road X. In other words, the perpendicular distance between point L and horizontal x axis is the required distance.
The perpendicular distance is the absolute value of the y-coordinate of point L. The absolute value of 'y' of point L is |-1.5| = 1.5 miles.
Hence, the library is 1.5 miles from road X.
Similarly, the distance of point L from road Y is the perpendicular distance of point L to the road Y.
The perpendicular distance is the absolute value of the x-coordinate of point L. The absolute value of 'x' of point L is |3.25| = 3.25 miles.
Therefore, the library is 3.25 miles from road Y.
So, the library is 1.5 miles from Road X and 3.25 miles from Road Y
help me on this question please
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The diameter equals the side length of the outer square. The radius of the circle is √2. The diameter of the circle would be
2 × radius = 2 × √2 = 2√2
The area of a square is expressed as length^2. This means that the area of the outer square would be
( 2√2)^2 = 4×2 = 8
The area of the circle is expressed as πr^2. Therefore, the area of the circle would be
π×√2^2 = 2π = 2×3.14 = 6.28
Looking at the inner square, to find the length of the base, we would apply Pythagoras theorem.
√2^2 = base^2 + 1^2
2 = base^2 + 1
base^2 = 2 -1 = 1
base = √1
Area of the inner square would be
√1^2 = 1
Total shaded area would be
6.28 - 1 = 5.28
The probability that the dart will land on the shaded area is
5.28/8 = 0.66
Madhu is hanging a string of flowers on the perimeter of a rectangular pool deck. The deck is 30 feet long and 24 feet wide. How long does the string of flowers need to be?
Answer:
108 feet long
Step-by-step explanation:
You know that to find the perimeter you have to add up all the sides. A rectangle has 4 sides, so 30+30 is 60 and 24+24 is 48. Add 60 and 48 up and you get 108 as the perimeter. Since Madhu is hanging a string of flowers on the PERIMETER, the flower string will need to be 108 feet long.

Find x.
===================================
Work Shown:
Through the inscribed angle theorem, we can say that 2 times the inscribed angle gets us the arc that the inscribed angle cuts off.
2*(inscribed angle) = arc measure
2*(2x+2) = 76
4x+4 = 76
4x+4-4 = 76-4 ... subtract 4 from both sides
4x = 72
4x/4 = 72/4 ... divide both sides by 4
x = 18
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2 × inscribed angle = 76
2 × (2x + 2) = 76
Open bracket
4x + 4 = 76
Collect like terms
4x = 76 - 4
4x = 72
Divide both sides by 4
4x/4 = 72/4
X = 18
Therefore X is Equal to 18.

1³+12³=9³+10³=17292³+24³=18³+20³=1383210³+27³=19³+24³=2068315³+945³=744³+756³=843912000Hence it is not possible to write all such numbers which can be written in this format. Though some of them can be enlisted if the value of maximum integer "N" is given.
A pile of newspaper was 17 3/4 inches high. Each consecutive week for the next 5 weeks the height of pile increase by 8 7/12 inches. What is the height in inches, of the pile after 3 weeks?
Answer: the height in inches, of the pile after 3 weeks is 34 11/12 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Each consecutive week for the next 5 weeks the height of pile increase by 8 7/12 inches. Converting 8 7/12 inches to improper fraction, it becomes 103/12 inches. The height is increasing in an arithmetic progression. The formula for determining the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is expressed as
Tn = a + (n - 1)d
Where
a represents the first term of the sequence.
d represents the common difference.
n represents the number of terms in the sequence.
From the information given,
a = 17 3/4= 71/4 inches
d = 103/12 inches
n = 3 weeks
the height in inches, of the pile after 3 weeks, T3. Therefore,
T3 = 71/4 + (3 - 1)103/12
T3 = 71/4 + 2 × 103/12 = 71/4 + 103/6
T3 = 419/12 inches = 34 11/12 inches
an automobile 16 feet long overtakes a truck that is 28 feet long and is traveling 30 mph. At what rate must the automobile travel to pass the truck in 4 seconds?
Step-by-step explanation:
Length of automobile = 16 feet = 4.88 m
Length of truck = 28 feet = 8.53 m
Speed of truck = 30 mph = 48 km/h = 13.33 m/s
Time in which automobile to pass truck = 4 s
Distance traveled by truck in 4 seconds = 4 x 13.33 = 53.33 m
Distance which need to cover by automobile in 4 seconds to pass truck is the sum of length of automobile, length of truck and distance traveled by truck in 4 seconds.
Distance which need to cover by automobile in 4 seconds = 4.88 + 8.53 + 53.33
Distance which need to cover by automobile in 4 seconds = 66.74 m
Distance = Speed x Time
66.74 = Speed x 4
Speed = 16.69 m/s = 60 km/h = 96 mph
Automobile must travel at 96 mph to pass the truck in 4 seconds.

The shadow of the moon during a solar eclipse travels 2300 miles in one hour in the first 20 minutes the Shoadow traveled seven 66 2/3 miles how long does it take for the Shadow to reach 1150 miles
Final answer:
It takes 30 minutes for the moon's shadow to travel 1150 miles during a solar eclipse based on the speed of 2300 miles per hour.
Explanation:
The question asks us to calculate the amount of time it takes the moon's shadow to travel a certain distance during a solar eclipse, based on given speeds and distances. We know that the shadow travels 2300 miles in one hour, so the speed of the shadow is 2300 miles per hour. In the first 20 minutes, the shadow traveled 766 ⅓ miles. To find the time it takes the shadow to reach 1150 miles, we set up a proportion since the motion of the shadow is at a constant speed.
First, let's convert the 20-minute travel time to hours by dividing by 60, which is ⅓ of an hour (20 / 60 = ⅓). Then we can set up the proportion as follows:
766 ⅓ miles is to ⅓ hour, as 1150 miles is to T hours. Which gives us:
(766 ⅓ / 2300) = (⅓ / 1)
(1150 / 2300) = (T / 1)
Now, we solve for T:
⅓ = 1150 / 2300
T = ⅓
So, T is ⅓ of an hour, which means that it takes ⅓ of an hour for the shadow to reach 1150 miles. We can convert ⅓ of an hour to minutes by multiplying by 60, thus:
T = ⅓ × 60
T = 30 minutes
Therefore, it takes 30 minutes for the shadow to reach 1150 miles.

A firm is hiring labor and capital in the cost-minimizing combination. Which of the following would cause the firm to increase hiring capital and decrease hiring of labor?
The productivity of labor increases by 5% would cause the firm to increase hiring capital and decrease hiring of labor
Step-by-step explanation:
A company can convert input data to output data. So, it gets divided the data into broad categories called production factors. Productivity variations, or more precisely the marginal products of labour, work in the same way as differences in real wages. Remember that marginal prices depend on both - real wages and the productivity.
If in case, productivity increases, perhaps because the company has increased its capital base, thereby marginal costs will decrease. Companies will produce more products and employ more employees. Conversely, if productivity drops, companies will produce less and destroy jobs.
When a firm faces union demands for higher wages, they may increase hiring of capital and decrease hiring of labor. This can result in increased labor productivity. In the United States in the 1970s, firms shifted towards more capital and less labor due to union demands for higher wages.
Explanation:When a firm is confronted with union demands for higher wages, they may choose to increase hiring of capital and decrease hiring of labor. This is because using more physical capital and less labor can result in increased labor productivity.
For example, if the cost of machines increases relative to labor, the firm may shift towards using less capital and more labor to minimize costs. In this situation, the firm would hire more capital and decrease hiring of labor.
In the United States in the 1970s, this situation occurred where firms faced union demands for higher wages, causing a shift towards more capital and less labor in production methods.

Answer:
Part a) [tex]M=6\frac{2}{3}\ min[/tex]
Part b) [tex]M=9\frac{1}{3}\ min[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
A relationship between two variables, M, and N, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form [tex]k=\frac{N}{M}[/tex] or [tex]N=kM[/tex]
In this problem, the relationship between the number of photos N to the number of minutes M represent a proportional variation
we have that
For M=2, N=3
Find the the constant of proportionality k
[tex]k=\frac{N}{M}[/tex]
substitute the value of N and M
[tex]k=\frac{3}{2}[/tex]
so
[tex]N=\frac{3}{2}M[/tex]
Part a) How long will it take to print 10 photos?
For N=10
substitute in the linear equation
[tex]10=\frac{3}{2}M[/tex]
solve for M
[tex]M=\frac{10*2}{3}[/tex]
[tex]M=\frac{20}{3}\ min[/tex]
Convert to mixed number
[tex]M=\frac{20}{3}\ min=\frac{18}{3}+\frac{2}{3}=6\frac{2}{3}\ min[/tex]
Part b) How long will it take to print 14 photos?
For N=14
substitute in the linear equation
[tex]14=\frac{3}{2}M[/tex]
solve for M
[tex]M=\frac{14*2}{3}[/tex]
[tex]M=\frac{28}{3}\ min[/tex]
Convert to mixed number
[tex]M=\frac{28}{3}\ min=\frac{27}{3}+\frac{1}{3}=9\frac{1}{3}\ min[/tex]

Twenty years ago, you began investing $3,000 a year. Because your investments earned an average of 8 percent a year, your investment portfolio has a current dollar value of $92,000. How much did you earn on your investments over the 20-year period of time? a.) $40,000
b.) $132,000
c.) $92,000
d.) $52,000
e.) $2,000
Answer:
$32,000
Step-by-step explanation:
Yearly investment = $3,000
Number of years = 20
Investments earned an average of 8 percent a year.
Total invested amount = $3,000 × 20 = $60,000
Current value of investment = $92,000.
We need to find the total earnings on the investment.
Earnings = Current value of investment - Total invested amount
Earnings = $92,000 - $60,000
Earnings = $32,000
Therefore, the total earnings is $32,000.
To find out how much was earned on the investments over a 20-year period, we subtract the total amount invested ($60,000) from the final value of the portfolio ($92,000), yielding $32,000 as the total earnings. However, this option is not offered in the question.
Explanation:This type of question is typically encountered in personal finance or mathematics related to investment portfolios. The total amount invested over twenty years is calculated by multiplying the yearly investment by the number of years, so $3,000 * 20 years = $60,000. This is the amount you've put in from your own pocket. The value of the investment portfolio now is given as $92,000, which is the sum of your investment and the earnings. So to calculate your earnings alone, you subtract the total amount you invested from the current value of your portfolio: $92,000 (total value) - $60,000 (your total investment) = $32,000. So the amount you earned on your investments over this 20-year period is not given in the question as none of the options match our calculation of $32,000.

The equivalent function that best shows the x-intercepts on the graph is f(x)=(4x-1)(4x+1).
What is a Function?
A function assigns the value of each element of one set to the other specific element of another set.
As the function is given to us that f(x)=16x²-1, therefore, the equivalent function that best shows the x-intercepts on the graph can be written as,
[tex]f(x)= 16x^2-1\\\\f(x)=16x^2-1^2\\\\f(x)=(4x-1)(4x+1)[/tex]
If we solve the roots of the given function,
(4x-1)=0
x = 1/4 = 0.25
(4x+1)=0
x = -1/4 = -0.25
Thus, the x-intercept of the function is 0.25 or -0.25.
Thus, the equivalent function that best shows the x-intercepts on the graph is f(x)=(4x-1)(4x+1).

question : The diagram shows a plan for creating a zoo’s elephant exhibit. The elephant pen will be surrounded on two sides by a walkway with a viewing area in one corner. The sides, shown as dotted lines, will be fenced. How much fencing separates the elephant area from the walkways
answer choices :
(A) 180 feet
(B) 250 feet
(C) 540 feet
(D) 750 feet
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to find the length of the red dotted line.
It is divided into 3 parts: the top, the middle slant, and the bottom
The top
Goes from y = 50 to y = 120, the length is:
120 - 50 = 70 units
The bottom
Goes from x = 60 to x = 120, the length is:
120 - 60 = 60 units
The middle slant
This is hypotenuse of the right triangle shown.
We will use Pythagorean Theorem to solve for this length, let it be x.
The theorem is:
Leg^2 + Another Leg^2 = x^2
One leg goes from x = 20 to x = 60, the length is 60 - 20 = 40
Another leg goes from y = 20 to y = 50, the lenth is 50 - 20 = 30
So, we have:
[tex]30^2+40^2=x^2\\2500=x^2\\x=\sqrt{2500}\\x=50[/tex]
THe slant length is 50 units
TOtal fencing is: 70 + 60 + 50 = 180 units
1 unit is 3 feet, so
180 units * 3 = 540 feet
C is the correct answer
Mitch has already spent 26 minutes on the phone, and he expects to spend 2 more minutes with every phone call he routes. Write the relationship between the phone calls routed p and the minutes on the phone t.
Answer:
minutes spent on phone (t) is directly proportional to the phone calls routed (p) with equation [tex]t =26+2p[/tex].
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Number of minutes already spent = 26 minutes
Number of minutes expected to spend on each call = 2
Let number of calls routed be 'p'
Also Let number of minutes on the phone be 't'.
We need to find the relationship between phone calls routed and mins spend on the phone.
Solution:
Now we know that;
Total minutes spent on phone is equal to Number of minutes already spent plus Number of minutes expected to spend on each call routes multiplied by number of calls routed.
framing in equation form we get;
[tex]t =26+2p[/tex]
From above we can see that whenever p increases the value of t will increase too .
Hence we can say that minutes spent on phone (t) is directly proportional to the phone calls routed (p) with equation [tex]t =26+2p[/tex].
