Given are the first three terms of a sequence that is either arithmetic or geometric. If the sequence is arithmetic, find a1 and d. If a sequence is geometric, find a1 and r. 1/6,1/12,1/24

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a1 = 1/6

r = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the sequence

1/6,1/12,1/24

The sequence is a geometric sequence since they have a common ratio

r = 1/12÷1/6 = 1/24 ÷ 1/12

r = 1/12 * 6/1 = 1/24 * 12/1

r = 1/2

Since a1 is the first term, hence a1 is 1/6 and common ratio r is 1/2

Find the equation of a line that passes through points (9,3) and (-6,5)?

Answers

Answer:

Y= X - 31.5

Step-by-step explanation:

find the gradient then the equation

Answer:

y-3 = -2/15 (x-9)

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we should find the gradient, m, which is [tex]\frac{rise (change.in.the.y.value)}{run (change.in.the.x.value)}[/tex]

This is [tex]\frac{3-5}{9-(-6)} =-\frac{2}{15}[/tex]

A linear (straight) line has a general equation y=mx+c

y = [tex]-\frac{2}{15\\}[/tex]x+c

We can rewrite the equation into the general form:

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

where y1 is the value of a y coordinate and x1 is the x value of the coordinate that the y1 value was taken from.

This stems from the idea that 0 = 0.

To make that equation true, we can make both sides equal to 0.

To do that, y - y1 has to be - and x-x1 has to be zero. m can be ignored as anything multiplied by 0 is 0.

Up until here, y1 and x1 are arbitrary constants. They are values that we have to find. However, we don't actually. We have coordinates that the x and y will equal to. (9,3)

Because 9 - 9 = 0 and 3 - 3 = 0, we can state that the value of y1 is 3 and x1 is 9.

Hence, the equation is y-3 = -2/15 (x-9)

You can rearrange the equation to make it into the form y = mx + c, but this is usually not necessary.

$2.99+ $3.19+ $2.59+- $0.25)+(- $0.40)
D

Answers

Answer:

I am going to assume that D's expression is actually $2.99+$3.19+$2.59+(-$0.25)+(-$0.40)

= $6.18+$2.59-$0.25-$0.40 [Note: (+)*(-)=(-)]

=$8.77-$0.25-$0.40

=$8.52-$0.40

=$8.12

Step-by-step explanation:

The prices of the loaf bread, a jar of peanut butter and 3 pounds of apples will be added. The value of the coupons will be then reduced from the total to get the final total.

Answers

Answer:

We know that P(x) = 30*x^3 + k*x^2 + 1

a) If (3x - 1) is a factor, let's find the value of k.

Because the degree of the original polynomial is 3, and the degree of the factor is 1, we should multiply it by a polynomial of degree 2.

Then:

30*x^3 + k*x^2 + 1 = (3*x - 1)*(a*x^2 + b*x + c)

30*x^3 + k*x^2 + 1  = 3*a*x^3 + 3*b*x^2 + 3*c*x - a*x^2 - b*x - c

30*x^3 + k*x^2 + 1 = 3*a*x^3 + (3*b - a)*x^2 + (3*c - b)*x - c

The terms with the same exponent should be equal, then:

30*x^3 = 3*a*x^3

30 = 3*a

30/3 = a = 10

k*x^2 = (3*b - a)*x^2

k = (3*b - 10)  

0*x = (3*c - b)*x

0 = (3*c - b)

b = 3*c

and

1 = -c

then:

c = -1

Replacing this in the equation: b = 3*c

we get: b = -3

Replacing this in the equation for k, we get:

k = (3*b - 10) = (3*-3 - 10) = -19

k = -19

And we can write:

P(x) = (3*x - 1)*(10*x^2 - 3*x - 1)

b) Now we want to write P(x) as a product of its linear factors.

Then we need to factorize the quadratic part:

We need to solve

10*x^2 - 3*x - 1 = 0

We can use the Bhaskara's equation to get the solutions:

[tex]x = \frac{-(-3) \pm \sqrt{(-3)^2 - 4*10*(-1)} }{2*10} = \frac{3 \pm 7}{10}[/tex]

Then the two zeros of that polynomial are

x = (3 + 7)/10 = 1

x = (3 - 7)/10 = - 4/10 = -2/5

So we can write the polynomial as:

10*(x - 1)*(x - (-2/5))

Replacing this in the equation of P(x) we get:

P(x) = (3*x - 1)*10*(x -1)*(x + 2/5)

     = 10* (3*x - 1)*(x -1)*(x + 2/5)

So P(x) is written as a product of lineal factors.

C) The zeros of the polynomial are the values of x such that one of the factors becomes equal to zero.

For the first factor, we have a zero at x = 1/3

for the second, we have a zero at x = 1

for the third one, we have a zero at  x = -2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

the formula for the measure of each Interior Angle in a regular polygon: [tex]\frac{180(n-2)}{n}[/tex], n = # of sides

=> [tex]\frac{180(16 - 2)}{16}[/tex] = 157.5°

What is the best approximation of the length of the radius in a circle with an area of 167 m2?

a. 4.6 meters
b.4.0 meters
c. 2.3 meters
d.5.1 meters

Answers

Answer:

r = 7.3 m

Step-by-step explanation:

A = (pi)(radius)^2, so, if A = 167 m^2, r^2 is found as follows:

       

         167 m^2

r^2 = -------------- = 53.158 m^2

              3.14

Taking the square root of both sides, we get

r = 7.3 m

This is correct, because A = (pi)(radius)^2 becomes (3.14)(7.3 m)^2 = 167.4 m^2
