Answers

Answer 1

Answer: D. [tex] f(1) = 4,\ \ f(n+1)=\dfrac{-1}{2}f(n) [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The given sequence:  [tex]4, -2,1,\dfrac{-1}{2},\dfrac14,....[/tex]

Here, first term: [tex]f(1)=4[/tex]

Second term: [tex]f(2)=-2[/tex]

Third term : [tex]f(3)=\dfrac{-1}{2}[/tex]

It can be observed that it is neither increasing nor decreasing sequence but having the common ratio.

Common ratio: [tex]r=\dfrac{f(2)}{f(1)}=\dfrac{-2}{4}=\dfrac{-1}{2}[/tex]

So, [tex]f(n+1)=\dfrac{-1}{2}f(n)[/tex]  [as in G.P. nth term= [tex]a_{n+1}=ar^n[/tex]]

Hence, correct option is D. [tex] f(1) = 4,\ \ f(n+1)=\dfrac{-1}{2}f(n) [/tex]

how to solve slope intercept form with 4y=x+3

Answers

Answer: y = (1/4)x + 3/4

m = 1/4 = slope

b = 3/4 = y intercept

===================================================

Explanation:

The goal is to solve for y.

Divide both sides by 4 and simplify like so

4y = x+3

4y/4 = (x+3)/4

y = (x+3)/4

y = x/4 + 3/4

y = (1/4)x + 3/4

This equation is in slope intercept form y = mx+b

m = 1/4 is the slope

b = 3/4 is the y intercept

how do reference angles work and how do you find them?

Answers

A 200-degree angle is between 180 and 270 degrees, so the terminal side is in QIII.

Do the operation indicated for that quadrant. Subtract 180 degrees from the angle, which is 200 degrees.

You find that 200 – 180 = 20, so the reference angle is 20 degrees.

What is the midpoint between each pair (-1, -5) and (-5, 9)

Answers

Answer: (-3, 2)

==============================================

Explanation:

The x coordinates are -1 and -5. They add to -6. Which is then cut in half to -3

The y coordinates are -5 and 9. They add to 4. This is cut in half to 2.

The midpoint is therefore (-3, 2)

O f(1) = 7, f(n + 1) = f(n) - 3; for nx 1
O f(1) = 7, f(n + 1) = f(n) – 4; for n 2 1
Of(1) = 7, f(n + 1) = f(n) + 4; for n > 1

Answers

Answer:

second option

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the sequence

7, 4, 1, - 2

There is a common difference d between consecutive terms, that is

d = 4 - 7 = 1 - 4 = - 2 - 1 = - 3

Thus to obtain any term in the sequence from the previous term, subtract 3

Thus

f(1) = 7 , f(n + 1) = f(n) - 3 for n ≥ 1

A new Youth Activity Center is being built in Hadleyville. The perimeter of the rectangular playing field is 442 yards. The length of the field is 4 yards less than quadruple the width. What are the dimensions of the playing​ field?

Answers

Answer:

45 yards and 176 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangular playing field = 2(Length + width)

P = 2(L+W)..................... Equation 1

From the question,

Let the width of the rectangular playing field = x yards,

The the Length = 4x-4 yards.

Given: P = 442 yards.

Substitute these values into equation 1

442 = 2(4x-4+x)

442/2 = 5x-4

221 = 5x-4

5x = 221+4

5x = 225

x = 225/5

x = 45 yards.

Width = 45 yards.

Length = (45×4)-4 yards = 176 yards

Hence the dimensions of the playing field are, 45 yards and 176 yards

The size of a television is the length of the diagonal of its screen in inches. The aspect ratio of the screens of older televisions is 4:3, while the aspect ratio of newer wide-screen televisions is 16:9. Find the width and height of an older 35-inch television whose screen has an aspect ratio of 4:3.

Answers

Answer:

The width and height of the old 35-inch television are 28 inches and 21 inches, respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

35-inch television is a television whose screen has an hypotenuse ([tex]l[/tex]) of 35 inches and the aspect ratio of 4 : 3 means that 4 inches width per each 3 inches height. And by Pythagorean Theorem:

[tex]r_{l} =\sqrt{r_{w}^{2}+r_{h}^{2}}[/tex]

Where:

[tex]r_{l}[/tex] - Hypotenuse rate, dimensionless.

[tex]r_{w}[/tex] - Width rate, dimensionless.

[tex]r_{h}[/tex] - Height rate, dimensionless.

If [tex]r_{w} = 4\,in[/tex] and [tex]r_{h} = 3\,in[/tex], the hypotenuse rate is:

[tex]r_{l} = \sqrt{4^{2}+3^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]r_{l} = 5[/tex]

The width and height of the old television can be found with the help of trigonometric functions:

Width of 35-inch old television ([tex]w[/tex])

[tex]w = l\cdot \cos \theta[/tex]

[tex]w = l\times\left(\frac{r_{w}}{r_{l}} \right)[/tex]

Height of 35-inch old television ([tex]h[/tex])

[tex]h = l\cdot \sin \theta[/tex]

[tex]h = l\times\left(\frac{r_{h}}{r_{l}} \right)[/tex]

Where [tex]\theta[/tex] is the direction of the hypotenuse with respect to width, measured in sexagesimal degrees.

If [tex]r_{w} = 4[/tex], [tex]r_{h} = 3[/tex] and [tex]r_{l} = 5[/tex] and [tex]l = 35\,in[/tex], the width and height of the old 35-inch television:

[tex]w = (35\,in)\times \left(\frac{4}{5} \right)[/tex]

[tex]w = 28\,in[/tex]

[tex]h =(35\,in)\times \left(\frac{3}{5} \right)[/tex]

[tex]h = 21\,in[/tex]

The width and height of the old 35-inch television are 28 inches and 21 inches, respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

3.4 x 10^8 is in scientific notation.

To change this to standard form you have to multiply 3.4 by 10 to the 8th power. You would be multiplying 3.4 by 10 eight times. It's a positive 8 so you move the decimal point 8 times to the right. If it were a negative then you'd move the decimal to the left.

PLEASE I BEG FOR HELP! Find mKNL A. 247 B. 184 C. 196 D. 264

Answers

Answer:

D. 264°

Step-by-step explanation:

When a tangent and a secant, two secants, or two tangents intersect outside a circle then the measure of the angle formed is one-half the positive difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs. Therefore,

60° = 1/2[(18x - 6)° - (5x +17)°]

60° * 2 = (18x - 6 - 5x - 17)°

120° = (13x - 23)°

120 = 13x - 23

120 + 23 = 13x

143 = 13x

143/13 = x

11 = x

x = 11

(18x - 6)° = (18*11-6)°= (198 - 6)° = 192°

(5x +17)° = (5*11 +17)° =(55+17)° = 72°

m (arc KNL) = (18x - 6)° + (5x +17)° = 192° + 72°

m (arc KNL) = 264°

Hello!

To solve this we distribute what in one parenthesis into the other

3x * x^2 = 3x^3

3x * -10x = -30x^2

3x * 2 = 6x

                 5                  

5 * x^2 = 5x^2

5 * -10x = -50x

5 * 2 = 10

Now we put like terms together and simplify

3x^3 + 0 = 3x^3

-30x^2 + 5x^2 = 25x^2

6x - 50x = -44x

0 + 10 = 10

The value of each digit in a number is known as the place value. The time rounded to the nearest tenth is 13.2 seconds.

What is the place value of a digit in a number?

The value of each digit in a number is known as the place value. The 5 in 350, for example, represents 5 tens, or 50, whereas the 5 in 5,006 represents 5 thousand, or 5,000. It is critical that children that while a digit can be the same, its value is determined by its position in the number.

Identification of the place value of a digit in a number:

The place values on the left of the decimal point start as ones, tens, hundreds, and so on.The place value on the right of the decimal point starts from the point and goes to the right as tenths, hundredths, and so onThe tens mean multiply by 10The tenth means the tenth part of that digit which is that digit divided by 10

Given the time to run is 13.245, now tenth means the value that is after the decimal. Since the value after the tenth is 4, therefore, the tenth value will remain the same but the numbers after that will be erased.

Hence, the time rounded to the nearest tenth is 13.2 seconds.

Clyde’s truck travels an average distance of 12 miles per gallon of gas. When full, his truck’s tank holds 40 gallons of gas. If the tank is 8 7 empty, about how many more miles can the truck travel before the tank is completely empty?

Answers

You have 10.44 miles left

The truck can travel 60 miles before the tank is completely empty

How to determine the number of miles?

The capacity of the truck is;

Capacity = 40 gallons

When it is 7/8 empty, the amount of gas in the truck is:

Amount  = (1 - 7/8) * 40 gallons

Amount  = 5 gallons

The rate is given as:

Rate = 12 miles per gallon

So, the number of miles it can travel from this point is:

Miles = Amount * Rate

Miles = 5 * 12

Miles = 60

Hence, the truck can travel 60 miles before the tank is completely empty

Make x the subject of the formula

a(x-b)=a^2+bx

Answers

Answer:

[tex]x=\frac{(a^2+ab)}{a-b}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

So we want to make x the subject of the formula:

[tex]a(x-b)=a^2+bx[/tex]

First, distribute the left side:

[tex]a(x)-a(b)=a^2+bx\\ax-ab=a^2+bx[/tex]

Combine all the terms with x with it on one side. To do this, first subtract bx from both sides. The right side cancels:

[tex](ax-ab)-bx=(a^2+bx)-bx\\ax-ab-bx=a^2[/tex]

Remove the -ab from the left. Add ab to both sides. The left side cancels:

[tex](ax-ab-bx)+ab=a^2+ab\\ax-bx=a^2+ab[/tex]

Now, distribute out the x from the left side:

[tex]ax-bx=a^2+ab\\x(a-b)=a^2+ab[/tex]

Divide both sides by (a-b). The left side cancels:

[tex]\frac{(x(a-b))}{a-b}=\frac{(a^2+ab)}{a-b} \\x=\frac{(a^2+ab)}{a-b}[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]x=\frac{(a^2+ab)}{a-b}[/tex]
