Achilles ordered a pizza with 16 slices. Every hour, he ate half of the remaining slices. Let f(n) be the number of slices Achilles ate in the hour since he got home.
Consider we need to find f(n).
Given:
Achilles ordered a pizza with 16 slices.
Every hour, he ate half of the remaining slices.
To find:
The function f(n) that is the number of slices Achilles ate in the hour since he got home.
Solution:
Initial number of slices = 16
Every hour, he ate half of the remaining slices. So, the number slices Achilles ate in the hour since he got home are:
8, 4, 2, 1, ...
It is a geometric sequence with first term 8 and common ratio [tex]\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex].
The explicit formula for a geometric sequence is:
[tex]f(n)=ar^{n-1}[/tex]
Where, a is the first term and r is the common ratio.
Substituting [tex]a=8,r=\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex], we get
[tex]f(n)=8\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^{n-1}[/tex]
Therefore, the function f(n) that is the number of slices Achilles ate in the hour since he got home is [tex]f(n)=8\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^{n-1}[/tex].
Determine whether the graphs of the given equations are parallel, perpendicular, or neither.
9514 1404 393
Answer:
(c) Perpendicular
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope is the coefficient of x in this slope-intercept form.
The slope of the first line is +1.
The slope of the second line is -1.
The product of the slopes is (1)(-1) = -1. When the product of slopes is -1 for two lines, those lines are perpendicular.
Tasneem has a sample of 12 bags of candy. She recorded the mass, in grams, of each bag. Her data is shown.
Answer:
the answer is D
Step-by-step explanation:
The Dot plot for Alia's Sample is plot D.
What is Dot plot?Based on the values of each point, a dot plot visually groups the number of data points in a data set. Similar to a histogram or probability distribution function, this provides a visual representation of the data distribution.
Tasneem has a sample of 12 bags of candy.
Now, the median for Tasneem sample space is
= (47.1 + 47.2)/ 2
= 47. 15
As, the median mass in A is 47.05, B is 47.1, in C is 47.1 and in D is 47.4.
Also, we know that the median mass for Alia's Sample is greater than Tasneem.
Thus, the correct plot is D.

Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
divide the figure as a triangle and a rectangle first.
take away the rectangle part and if you just look at the triangle part,
you can get x using Pythagorean theorem.
Pythagorean theorem is a^2 + b^2 = c^2,
so 3^2 + 4^2 = x^2.
If you calculate it, x should be root 25, which equals 5.
So, the answer is 5.

someone please please help me with this ! I would really appreciate it
Answer:
Both volumes are the same
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume of cylinder = [tex]\pi[/tex][tex]r^{2} h[/tex]
r = radius
h = height
Since area of the circle is given on top,
Area of a circle = [tex]\pi[/tex][tex]r^{2}[/tex]
We know the area is 12
12 = [tex]\pi[/tex][tex]r^{2}[/tex] (we need to find r)
r = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{12}{\pi} }[/tex]
r = 1.954
Now we can find the cylinder's volume:
Volume of cylinder = [tex]\pi[/tex][tex](1.954)^{2}[/tex] (6)
Volume of cylinder = 72
To find the volume of the cuboid, we use
Volume of cuboid = lwh
l = length
w = width
h = height
Volume of cuboid = 6 x 4 x 3
Volume of cuboid = 72
This proves that both the volumes are the same.

Answer:
There is no x, so I’ll find y
Step-by-step explanation:
-4(y-2)=12
Multiply -4 with y and -2
-4y+8=12
Then subtract 8 with its self and 12
-4y = 4
now divide both numbers with 4
y= -1

A space probe flies by a planet in an hyperbolic orbit. It reaches the vertex of its orbit at (5,0) and then travels along a 2 path that gets closer and closer to the line y=-x. Write an equation that describes the path of the space probe if the 5 center of its hyperbolic orbit is at (0,0).
Answer:
[tex]\frac{2x^{2} }{{25} } + \frac{2y^{2}}{{25} } = 1[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the required hyperbola has its vertex at (5,0), its transverse axis is on the x-axis and center at (0,0).
So, we use the equation in standard form
[tex]\frac{x^{2} }{a^{2} } + \frac{y^{2} }{b^{2} } = 1[/tex]
Also, since the path of the space probe gets closer to y = -x, this is the asymptote to the hyperbola.
Our standard asymptote equation is y = ±bx/a taking the negative sign and comparing with y = -x,
-bx/a = -x ⇒ b/a = 1 ⇒ a = b
Also, the coordinate of the vertex (c, 0) = (5, 0) and c² = a² + b²
substituting c = 5 and a = b into the equation, we have
c² = a² + b²
5² = a² + a²
25 = 2a²
a² = 25/2
a = √(25/2)
a = ±5/√2
rationalizing, we have
a = ±5/√2 × √2/√2
a = ±5√2/2
Since a = b, b = ±5√2/2
Inserting a and b into the equation for the hyperbola, we have
[tex]\frac{x^{2} }{a^{2} } + \frac{y^{2} }{b^{2} } = 1\\\frac{x^{2} }{(\frac{5\sqrt{2} }{2} )^{2} } + \frac{y^{2} }{\frac{5\sqrt{2} }{2} ^{2} } = 1\\\frac{x^{2} }{\frac{25 X 2 }{4} } + \frac{y^{2} }{\frac{25X2 }{4} } = 1\\\frac{x^{2} }{\frac{25}{2} } + \frac{y^{2} }{\frac{25}{2} } = 1\\\frac{2x^{2} }{{25} } + \frac{2y^{2}}{{25} } = 1[/tex]
So, the required equation is
[tex]\frac{2x^{2} }{{25} } + \frac{2y^{2}}{{25} } = 1[/tex]

Trinity had $525.38 in a savings account at the beginning of the summer she wants to have at least $200 in the account by the end of the summer she withdraws $25 each week for food, clothes and movie tickets writing in a quality that represents triniti's situation. How many weeks can Trinity withdraw money from her account solve the inequality
Answer:
Trinity can withdraw $25 from her bank account for 13 weeks.
Step-by-step explanation:
If she wants to have at least $200 by the end of summer you need to subtract that much from what she has now. Which would be $325.38. Now you have to divide that number into 25, which should give you the number of week that money would last. That number is 13.0152, you don't need all those extra numbers so just use 13. No to check you work multiply 25 and 13. You get 325.
