Given a geometric sequence with a1 = 3 and a4 = 24, find a2.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 6

Step-by-step explanation:

ax/ay=r^(x-y)

in this case it will be

a4/a1=r^(4-1)

24/3=r^3

8=r^3

r=2

----------------------------------

an=a1×r^(n-1) ⇔ geometric sequence formula

a2=3×2^(2-1)

a2=3×2^1

a2=3×2

a2=6

N=1500(2^018t), t≥0 Find the initial number of cells (N) in the culture, given the exponential function.

Answers

Answer:

1500

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Understand what the question is asking you

It wants to know how much cells do you start off with or in other words how much cells are in the culture when time is 0

Step 2: Set t = 0

[tex]N = 1500(2^{0.18(0)} )[/tex]

Step 3: Solve for N

[tex]N = 1500(2^{0.18(0)} )[/tex]

[tex]N = 1500(2^{0} )[/tex]

[tex]N = 1500(1 )[/tex]

[tex]N = 1500[/tex]

Therefore when the initial amount of cells there in the culture is 1500

Answers

Answer:

first of all i need to know the fractions and answer choices to answer this question.

Enter the numerator and denominator of a fraction in simplest form that is equivalent to 0.941941 Repeating.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\frac{941}{999}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = 0.941941........

Three digits are repeating. So, multiply both side by 1000

1000x = 941.941941......       (I)

       x =      0.941941....... (II)  {subtract equation (II) from (I)  }

 999x = 941

x = 941/999

This diagram is a straightedge and compass construction. A is the center of one circle, and B
is the center of the other. Select all the true statements.
a. AC = BC
b. AC = BD
C. CD = AB
d. ABCD is a square
e. ABD is an equilateral triangle
f. CD = AB + AB

Answers

Answer:

Correct choices are a, b, e

Step-by-step explanation:

As per diagram, the circles are equal.

Since the distance AB is the radius of both circles:

AB = AC = BC = BD = AD = r

So the answer choices:

a. AC = BC

Correct, both equal to r

b. AC = BD

Correct, both equal to r

C. CD = AB

Incorrect. Half of CD is the leg of 30-60-90 triangle and is equal to  r√3/2, so CD = AB√3

d. ABCD is a square

Incorrect. ACBD is rhombus

e. ABD is an equilateral triangle

Correct, all three sides are equal to r

f. CD = AB + AB

Incorrect as CD = AB√3

Divide both sides by 3:

[tex]x+14=14[/tex]

Subtract 14:

[tex]x=0[/tex]

The value of x is 0

Answer: x=0

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x+14)=42

Distributive property

3x+42=42

Subtract 42 from both sides

3x=0

Divide 3 on both sides

x=0

----------------------------------------------------

Given

3(x+14)=42

Divide 3 on both sides

x+14=14

Subtract 14 on both sides

x=0

Both ways are fine

Consider the function below. g(x) = 4x − 1 Find the difference quotient below (where h ≠ 0) and simplify your answer. g(x + h) − g(x) -------------------- h

Answers

Answer:

The difference quotient is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

[tex]g(x) = 4x - 1[/tex]

To find:

Difference quotient = ?

where [tex]h \neq 0[/tex]

Solution:

Formula for Difference quotient is given as:

[tex]\dfrac{g(x+h)-g(x)}{h}[/tex]

First of all, let us find out [tex]g(x+h)[/tex]

Replacing [tex]x[/tex] with [tex]x+h[/tex]

[tex]g(x+h) = 4(x+h)-1 \\\Rightarrow g(x+h) = 4x+4h-1[/tex]

Now,

[tex]g(x+h)-g(x) = (4x+4h-1 )-(4x-1)\\\Rightarrow g(x+h)-g(x) = 4x+4h-1 -4x+1\\\Rightarrow g(x+h)-g(x) = 4h[/tex]

Putting the above value in:

[tex]\dfrac{g(x+h)-g(x)}{h} = \dfrac{4h}{h}[/tex]

We are given that, [tex]h \neq 0[/tex]

[tex]\therefore \dfrac{4h}{h} = 4[/tex]

So, the difference quotient is 4.

Give an example of a set of ordered pairs that has five elements in its domain and four elements in its range.

Answers

Answer:

[ (-1,0) (0,0) (1,1) (2,2) (3,3) ]

Domain = { -1,0,1,2,3 }; Range = { 0,1,2,3 }

Step-by-step explanation:

Set or collection of ordered pairs is called 'Relation'. The ordered pairs are in terms f x & y coordinate.

Eg : [ (-1,0) (0,0) (1,1) (2,2) (3,3) ]

Domain is a set of all x axis values. Range is a set of all y axis values. They are arranged non repetitively in ascending order.

Domain = { -1,0,1,2,3 }

Range = { 0,1,2,3 }

As mentioned : the relation has been designed, as such to have five elements in its domain and four elements in its range

Identify the roots of the equation x^2 = 9x − 14 by factoring. x = 2 or x = 7 x = −2 or x = 7 x = 2 or x = −7 x = −2 or x = −7

Answers

Answer:

x = 7, x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² = 9x - 14 ( subtract 9x - 14 from both sides )

x² - 9x + 14 = 0 ← in standard form

(x - 7)(x - 2) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and splve for x

x - 7 = 0 ⇒ x = 7

x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2

How much will it take to do a work of 190J with 15w power

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\Huge \boxed{\mathrm{12.67 \ s}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\displaystyle power \ (W) = \frac{work \ done \ (J)}{time \ (s)}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle P= \frac{W}{t}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle 15= \frac{190}{t}[/tex]

Solve for t.

Multiply both sides by t.

[tex]15t =190[/tex]

Divide both sides by 15.

[tex]\displaystyle t= \frac{190}{15}[/tex]

[tex]t \approx 12.67[/tex]

[tex] \bf \underline{ \underline{given : }}[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

1/2(x+y) - 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

I think this may be the answer based on the info you've given

Answer:

[tex]\frac{1}{2}(x+y) - \frac{1}{3}y[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We can translate these words into an expression by just reading them and interpreting them.

Half the sum of x and y.

We know that it's going to include [tex](x+y)[/tex], and if we're taking half of that, we multiply that by [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex], so [tex]\frac{1}{2}(x+y)[/tex]

We also know that one third of y will be multiplying y by [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex], so [tex]\frac{1}{3}y[/tex].

Since we are decreasing [tex]\frac{1}{2}(x+y)[/tex] by  [tex]\frac{1}{3}y[/tex], there's a minus sign between the terms.

So, [tex]\frac{1}{2}(x+y) - \frac{1}{3}y[/tex].

The original price of a toy was $400. It was increased by 20%. after some time the sale of toys decreased. So, the shop owner decided to decrease the price by 20%
What is the final price of the toy.

Answers

Hey! So, I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure the price will stay at $400, since the increase was negated by the decrease.

Answer:

$384

Step-by-step explanation:

Original price = $ 400

Increased price  = 20% of 400

                           = [tex]\frac{20}{100}[/tex] * 400

                           = $  80

Price after increase = 400 + 80 = $ 480

Decreased price  = 20% of 480

                             = [tex]\frac{20}{100}\\[/tex] * 480

                            = $ 96

Price after decreasing 20% = 480 - 96 = $ 384

Final price of the toy = $ 384
