Determine whether the sequence is arithmetic, geometric or neither. Then, write a recursive rule and an explicit rule, if possible 0.25, 1.75, 3.75, 5.75, 7.75, …

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Ok, here we have the sequence:

0.25, 1.75, 3.75, 5.75, 7.75, …

First let's define the two most common types of sequences:

Arithmetic: The difference between any two consecutive terms of the sequence is always the same.

Geometric: In this case, the terms are created by multiplicating the previous term by a constant number (and this is for all the terms in the sequence).

Now let's try to see if this is arithmetic, to do it, we select different sets of two consecutive terms and see their difference, if all the differences are the same, then this is an arithmetic sequence:

1.75 - 0.25 = 1.5

3.75 - 1.75 = 2

5.75 - 3.75 = 2

So for the first two terms, the difference is 1.5 and for all the next ones, the difference is 2, then it is not an arithmetic sequence.

(it would be if the first term was -0.25 instead of 0.25).

Now let's try with geometric.

To see if the series is geometric, we should see the quotient of consecutive pairs of numbers, if this quotient is the same for all of them, then this is a geometric sequence:

1.75/0.25 = 7

3.75/1.75 = 2.14

Well, we can see that the quotients are different, then this can not be a geometric sequence.

Then the answer will be neither.

If we want to write a recursive rule will be like an arithmetic sequence, but with the first two terms specified as:

a₀ = 0.25

a₁ = 1.75

aₙ = aₙ₋₁ + 2 for n = 2, 3, 4, .......

A rectangle that is 2 inches by 3 inches has been scaled by a factor of 7.

1. What are the side lengths of the scaled copy?

2. Suppose you want to scale the copy back to its original size. What scale factor should
you use?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]New\ Lengths = (14,21)[/tex]

[tex]New\ Scale\ Factor = \frac{1}{7}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Rectangle:

Length = 2 in

Width = 3 in

Scale Factor = 7

Solving (a):

The side lengths of the new scale is calculated as follows;

New Lengths = Old Lengths * Scale Factor

[tex]New\ Lengths = (2,3) * 7[/tex]

[tex]New\ Lengths = (2 * 7,3* 7)[/tex]

[tex]New\ Lengths = (14,21)[/tex]

Solving (b): To go back to the original length

Given that the initial scale factor is 7;

The new scale factor is the reciprocal of the old factor;

Hence;

[tex]New\ Scale\ Factor = \frac{1}{7}[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

b < 5

Step-by-step explanation:

-2b + 4 > -6                ⇒ subtract 4 from both sides

-2b > - 6 - 4

-2b > -10                     ⇒ divide both sides by -2, it will change inequality sign to opposite

7|12x+3|- 1=62 hhih​

Answers

Answer:

a. x = ½, and x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation, 7|12x + 3| - 1 = 62, solve as follows:

Add 1 to each side of the equation

7|12x + 3| = 62 + 1

7|12x + 3| = 63

Remove the absolute value to create ± on the right side of the equation

7(12x + 3) = ±63

Solve the positive portion of the solution

7(12x + 3) = 63

84x + 21 = 63

Subtract 21 from both sides

84x = 63 - 21

84x = 42

Divide both sides by 84

x = 42/84

x = ½

Solve the negative portion of the solution

7(12x + 3) = -63

84x + 21 = -63

Subtract 21 from each side of the equation

84x = -63 - 21

84x = -84

Divide both sides by 84

x = -84/84

x = -1

The answer is: x = ½, and x = -1

A family paid ​$30600 as a down payment for a home. If this represents ​%17 of the price of the​ home, find the price of the home

Answers

Answer:

180000

Step-by-step explanation:

30600/17=1800

1800•100=180000

Answer:

$180,000

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to change 17% into a decimal which would be 0.17 which makes it easier to work with.

If we put this into an equation we know some value of x is the original price of the house and 0.17 (17%) of this unknown x is 30600.

Therefore: x * 0.17 = 30600

We divide 0.17 on both sides to cancel it on the left and get x by itself.

Now x = 30600/0.17

We get x = $180,000

Therefore, the original price of the home was $180,000.

A rectangular lot is 140 meters long and 100 meters wide. Give the length and width of another rectangular lot that has the same perimeter but a larger area.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of rectangle is 140 m and its breadth is 100 m

Perimeter = sum of all sides

For rectangle, P = 2(l+b)

P = 2(140+100)

P = 480 m

Area = length × breadth

For a rectangle, A = lb

A = 140 × 100

A = 14000 m²

We need to write the length and breadth such that it has the same perimeter but a larger area.

Let the length is 110 m and breadth is 130 m.

Perimeter, P = 2(110+130)

P = 480 m

Perimeter is same as previous

Area, A = 110 × 130

A =  14300 m²

Area is more than the initial area.

Hence, this is the required solution.

answer:

it's [tex]\boxed{L=130, \W=110}[/tex]

explanation:

[tex]\boxed{L=140}\\\boxed{W=100}\\P=2(L+W)\\P=2(140+100)\\\boxed{P=480m}\\A=L*W\\A=140*100\\\boxed{A=14000m^{2}}[/tex]

It's easy to get a Length and Width with an equal Perimeter as this rectangle, how? the key is in the Perimeter formula for rectangle, it is literally 2 times the sum of the Length and Width, so [tex]2(L+W)=2(sum)[/tex], that means we can change the value of both the Width and the Length as long as the sum of both the Length and the Width is equal;

[tex]\boxed{L=140}\\\boxed{W=100}\\L+W=140+100=\boxed{240}[/tex]

to change these values and still have a perimeter equal to 480 meters, and an area larger than 14,000 meters square, we gotta have a length and a width that have a sum of 240 and still maintain a hundred place value, for example 130 and 110, not 150 and 90, because [tex]150*90=13500[/tex] which is less than our goal; while [tex]130*110=14300[/tex], note that as long as one of the values doesn't fall below 100 you're solid.

Write the equation of the line fully simplified slope-intercept form.

Answers

Answer:

y=-x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

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

From the graph, we can see that the y-intercept is at (0,2) so the equation becomes y=mx+2.

Other points on the graph include (1,1) and (2,0). Plugging (1,1) into the slope-intercept equation, we get 1=(m)1+2. Solving this will give us m=-1.

We can confirm this by plugging m=-1 into the equation along with the point (2,0); 0=(-1*2)+2. It checks out!

So our final equation in slope-intercept form will be y=-x+2

Answer: Think it is y=2x+2

Step-by-step explanation: because whats your y intercept it is on the two. Whats your x intercept it is also on the a 2.

x₂ = 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + 3.5x - 2 = 0                 * 2

(2x + 8)(2x -1)/2 = 0

2(x + 4)(2x - 1)/2 = 0

(x + 4)(2x - 1) = 0

x₁ = -4

2x - 1 = 0

2x = 1

Answers

Answer:

  300

Step-by-step explanation:

Fill in the given value and solve for x.

  C(x) = 500x +100000

  250000 = 500x +100000

  500 = x + 200 . . . . . . divide by 500

  300 = x

Oscar has received a $4,000 gift and is looking for a bank to start a savings account. Which option would be the best for him at a current inflation rate of 1.5%?

Answers

Here is the complete question

A nominal interest rate of 5%

A real interest rate of 5%

A real interest rate of 3%

A nominal interest rate of 3%

Answer:

A real interest rate of 5%

Step-by-step explanation:

A real interest rate of 5% is the best option for oscar. The nominal rate of interest is a type of interest rate that shows the increase in in percentage of money without the depreciation discount that is usually caused by inflation or the payment of tax.

The real rate of interest shows the real increase in the money that has been paid for an investment. This is after inflation has been discounted and all forms of taxes have been paid.

So oscar should invest his $4000 on a savings account whose real interest rate is 5% per year

Answer: 3⁴

Explanation: Exponential form contains a base and an exponent.

The base is the number that is multiplied.

So in this case, 3 is the base.

Next we write the exponent which is the

number of times that the base is multiplied.

Since 3 is multiplied four times, the exponent is 4.

So in exponential form, 3 · 3 · 3 · 3 can be written as 3⁴.
