A geometric sequence has the explicit formula an = (-2) x 3^n- 1. What is the 4th term?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

-54

Step-by-step explanation:

Please write this sequence in the following form:  a(n) = (-2)*3^(n- 1)

Then a(1) = -2*3^0  =  -2

         a(2) = -2*3^(2 - 1) = -6

          a(3) = -2*3^(3 - 1) = -2*9 = -18

          a(4) = -2*3^(4-1) = -2*27 = -54

Step-by-step explanation:

-2.1 w > 12.81

Divide each side by -2.1, remembering to flip the inequality

-2.1w / -2.1 < 12.81/ -2.1

w < -6.1

There is an open circle at -6.1 and the line goes to the left

Answer: Oops its the 3rd answer, my explanation is wrong but the first paragraph has some decent info

Step-by-step explanation:

I could just give you the answer but I want you to intuitively understand it. W is the variable you are looking for, right. So anything shaded on those number lines is going to indicate the value of w. The answer is that w < -6.1

Negative numbers are a little bit tricky when using less and greater than. But basically, less than means closer to 0 and greater than means farther from zero. So this means that w is every single number less than -6.1, or closer to zero and then continuing on in the postive direction.

Now for the little circle on the -6.1:

A circle that is not shaded in means that this value is NOT included. And we can see that the sign is <, not [tex]\leq[/tex]. So we are going to have an open circle from -6.1 that is going closer to zero and beyond. The first answer fits that criteria perfectly

The graph of a line goes through the points (-4,3) and (6,8). What is the equation
of the line in slope-intercept form?

Answers

Answer:

y = 1/2x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

You have two points so you can find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (8-3)/(6 - -4)

   (8-3)/(6+4)

    5/10

 1/2

The slope intercept form is y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = 1/2 x+b

Substitute a point into the equation

8 = 1/2(6)+b

8 = 3+b

b=8-3 = 5

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (8,-8) and is
perpendicular to the line 4x – 3y = 18?

Answers

Answer:

y = -3/4x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

You put the equation in the slope-intercept form. Remember that the perpendicular slope is the negative reciprocal. You plug in the slope and the point into the slope-intercept formula. Solve for b then plug it into the final formula.

The equation of the line that passes through the point (8,-8) and is

perpendicular to the line 4x – 3y = 18 is;

⇒ 3x + 4y = -8

Here,

The point is (8, -8)

And, The equation of line is, 4x - 3y = 18

What is Equation of line?

The equation of line passes through points (x₁, y₁) and has slope m is;

y - y₁ = m₂ (x - x₁)

Now,

The point is (x₁, y₁) = (8, -8)

And, The equation of line is, 4x - 3y = 18

Put into the slope form as;

4x - 3y = 18

4x - 18 = 3y

y = (4/3)x - 6

Hence, Slope of the given line = 4/3

The slope (m₁) of perpendicular line relationship is;

4/3 * m₂ = -1

m₂ = -3/4

Hence, slope of perpendicular line (m₂) = -3/4

So, The equation of line by using point/slope form is;

y - y₁ = m₂ (x - x₁)

y - (-8) = -3/4 (x - 8)

y + 8 = -3/4 (x - 8)

4 (y + 8) = -3 (x - 8)

4y + 32 = -3x + 24

3x + 4y = -8

Hence, The equation of the line that passes through the point (8,-8) and is perpendicular to the line 4x – 3y = 18 is;

⇒ 3x + 4y = -8

Joseph is eating his favorite kind of cookie.The cookie is part of 9/10 cm thick. The frosting is 33/100 cm thick.What expression can be used to find the total thickness of the cookie and the frosting

Answers

Answer:

The expression is: [tex]\text{total thickness} = \text{cookie thickness} + \text{frosting thickness}[/tex]

The thickness of the cookie is: [tex]\frac{123}{100}[/tex] cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The cookie is formed by two layers, the cookie and the frosting. So if we want to know the total thickness of the cookie and frosting we need to sum the thickness of each layer as shown below:

[tex]\text{total thickness} = \text{cookie thickness} + \text{frosting thickness}\\\text{total thickness} = \frac{9}{10} + \frac{33}{100}\\\\\text{total thickness} = \frac{10*9 + 33}{100}\\\\\text{total thickness} = \frac{123}{100} \text{ cm}[/tex]

The expression is: [tex]\text{total thickness} = \text{cookie thickness} + \text{frosting thickness}[/tex]

The thickness of the cookie is: [tex]\frac{123}{100}[/tex] cm

Which of the following describes how to translate the graph y = lxl  to obtain the graph of y = lxl -4

Answers

Answer: 4 units down.

Step-by-step explanation:

When we have the graph y = f(x)

We can do verticals translations as:

y = f(x) + a.

if a is a positive number, the new graph for y is moved a units upside.

if we want to do a translation down, we should do:

y = f(x) - a.

Now, our f(x) = IxI, and our translation is:

y = IxI - 4

You can see that we have a subtraction of a positive number (4) so we have a translation of 4 units downwards.

The ages of Hari and Harry are in the ratio 5:7. Four years later from now the ration of their ages will be 3:4. Find their present ages..............................Pls i need help

Answers

Answer:

20 and 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the current age of Hari and y represent the current age of Harry

Since the current ratio is 5:7:

5/7 = x/y  

→ 5y = 7x  (1)

Hari's age will be x+4 and Harry's age will be y+4 four years later. Since the ration of their ages will be 3:4 four years later:

3/4 = (x+4)/(y+4)  (2)

→ 3(y+4) = 4(x+4)

→ 3y + 12 = 4x + 16

→ 3y = 4x + 4 (Substitute the y as 7x/5 from the equation 1)

→ 3(7x/5) = 4x + 4

→  21x = 20x + 20

→ x = 20

y = 7x/5 = 7(20)/5 = 28

A 38 gram sample of a substance that is used to sterilize surgical instruments has a k-value of 0.113. Find the substance's half-life in days, round to the nearest tenth.

Answers

Answer:

6.13 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

This question directly relates to radioactivity of a substance.

Data,

k = 0.113

Initial mass (No) = 38g

Half life of the substance (T½) = ?

To solve this question, we don't need the value of the initial mass because the variables in half life (T½) formula does not require it.

T½ = ln2 / k

Note : ln2 is a constant derived while k is the decay constant of the substance

T½ = 0.693 / 0.113

T½ = 6.13 days

The half life of the substance is 6.13 days

Ms. Lawrence baked exactly 1 inch diameter cookies as shown below, how
much space left on cookie tray, if the tray's dimensions are 7 inches by 3
inches?​

Answers

Answer:

Exactly 26 cookies fit and there would be 0.75 of cookie space left over.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, we must calculate the area of a cookie and the total area of the cookie tray,

give us the diameter of the cookie, we need the radius, we know that the radius is half the diameter, so:

r = d / 2 = 1/2

the area would be:

A = pi * r ^ 2

replacing:

A = 3.14 * (1/2) ^ 2

A = 0.785

The area for each cookie is 0.785 in ^ 2

Now the area of the cookie tray would be:

A = 7 * 3

A = 21 in ^ 2

Therefore a total of:

 21 / 0.785 = 26.75

Which means that exactly 26 cookies fit and there would be 0.75 of cookie space left over.

If a 24-kg mass stretches a spring 15 cm, what mass will stretch the spring 10 cm

Answers

Answer:

16kg

Step-by-step explanation:

 This problem is borers on elasticity of materials.

according to Hooke's law, "provided the elastic limit of an elastic material is not exceeded the the extension e is directly proportional to the applied force."

[tex]F= ke[/tex]

where F is the applied force in N

          k is the spring constant N/m

          e is the extension in meters

Given data

mass m= 24kg

extensnion=15cm in meters= [tex]\frac{15}{100}[/tex]= [tex]0.15m[/tex]

we can solve for the spring constant k

we also know that the force F = mg

assuming [tex]g=9.81m/s^{2}[/tex]

therefore

[tex]24*9.81=k*0.15\\235.44=k*0.15\\k=\frac{235.44}{0.15} \\k=1569.6N/m\\[/tex]

We can use this value of k to solve for the mass that will cause an extension of  [tex]10cm= 0.1m[/tex]

[tex]x*9.81=1569.6*0.1\\\\x= \frac{156.96}{9.81} \\\x= 16kg[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

The volume of the sphere is 32 π /3 cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically, the volume of a sphere can be calculated using the formula below;

V = 4/3 * pi * r^3

Now since we have the radius and diameter = 2 * radius

radius = diameter/2 = 4/2 = 2
