Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]b_n = \frac{2}{27} (9^n)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]a_1=\frac{2}{3},\ a_n=3a_{n-1}.[/tex]

Required

An explicit rule for [tex]b_1,\ b_2,\ b_3,\ \dots[/tex]

Where [tex]b_1=a_1,\ b_2=a_3,\ b_3=a_5,\ \dots[/tex]

We have:

[tex]a_1=\frac{2}{3},\ a_n=3a_{n-1}.[/tex]

Calculate a2

[tex]a_2 = 3a_{2-1}[/tex]

[tex]a_2 = 3a_1[/tex]

[tex]a_2 = 3 * \frac{2}{3}[/tex]

[tex]a_2 = 2[/tex]

Calculate a3

[tex]a_3 = 3a_{3-1}[/tex]

[tex]a_3 = 3a_2[/tex]

[tex]a_3 = 3 *2[/tex]

[tex]a_3 = 6[/tex]

Calculate a4

[tex]a_4 = 3a_{4-1}[/tex]

[tex]a_4 = 3a_3[/tex]

[tex]a_4 = 3*6[/tex]

[tex]a_4 = 18[/tex]

Calculate a5

[tex]a_5 = 3a_{5-1}[/tex]

[tex]a_5 = 3a_4[/tex]

[tex]a_5 = 3*18[/tex]

[tex]a_5 = 54[/tex]

So:

[tex]b_1=a_1,\ b_2=a_3,\ b_3=a_5,\ \dots[/tex]

[tex]a_1=\frac{2}{3}[/tex]     [tex]a_3 = 6[/tex]     [tex]a_5 = 54[/tex]

The above sequence form a geometric sequence.

Calculate common ratio (r)

[tex]r = \frac{b_3}{b_2}[/tex]

[tex]r = \frac{a_5}{a_3}[/tex]

[tex]r = \frac{54}{6}[/tex]

[tex]r = 9[/tex]

So, the explicit formula is:

[tex]b_n = b_1 * r^{n-1[/tex]

[tex]b_1=a_1[/tex], so:

[tex]b_n = a_1 * r^{n-1[/tex]

[tex]a_1=\frac{2}{3}[/tex], so:

[tex]b_n = \frac{2}{3} * 9^{n-1[/tex]

Split:

[tex]b_n = \frac{2}{3} * \frac{9^n}{9}[/tex]

[tex]b_n = \frac{2}{3*9} (9^n)[/tex]

[tex]b_n = \frac{2}{27} (9^n)[/tex]

The explicit rule is: [tex]b_n = \frac{2}{27} (9^n)[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

1 5/6 = 11/6

7 1/3 = 22/3

11/6 + 22/3 = 11/6 + 44/6 = 55/6 ≈ 9.16

1 5/6 = 11/6

11/6 - 1/10

55/30 - 3/30 = 52/30 ≈ 1.73

9.16 x 1.73 = 15.8468

So, 15.8468 is the result.

Write an equation for the hanger diagram and then us the sketch to show how to solve the equation algebraically.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 3 w's and a 1 on one side and 7 1's on the other and the hanger diagram shows they are even, we can set them equal to each other.

3w + 1 = 7 Subtract 1 from both sides

3w = 6 Divide 3 from both sides

w = 2

please would you be so kind and help me with problems four through 12?

Answers

I will do 4 and 5 only. Also, post one problem at a time.

Question 4

Measure of arc GJ = measure of the central angle, which in this case is 90 degrees. So, the measure of arc GJ = 90°.

Question 5

The measure of diameter HJ = 180 degrees.

We need to find the adjacent angle which I will call angle x.

So, x = 180° - 151° = 29 degrees.

Just like Question 4 above, the measure of 29 degrees is the central angle for arc HI.

As you know, HI = the measure of the central angle. So, the measure of arc HI = 29°.

Try the rest on your own.

As you do the rest, keep in mind that the measure of a circle in terms of degrees is 360 degrees. This will help you do the rest of the questions for circle B.

The area of a rectangular parking lot is 8051 m ^2 . If the length of the parking lot is 97 m, what is its width?

Answers

Answer:

Width of rectangle = 83 meter

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Area of rectangle = 8,051 m²

Length of rectangle = 97 m

Find:

Width of rectangle

Computation:

Area of rectangle = Length of rectangle x Width of rectangle

97 x Width of rectangle = 8,051

Width of rectangle = 8,051 / 97

Width of rectangle = 83 meter

The proper height of a highway guardrail is 27 inches, but 3 inches higher or lower is acceptable. Which inequality represents the acceptable heights, h, of a highway guardrail?
A.|h+27|≤3
B.|h−3|≤27
C.|h+3|≤27
D.|h−27|≤3

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

27 is the "center" of a range of measurements of the height of the guard rail.  The height could be as much as 30 inches or as little as 24 inches.  The absolute value operator encloses "x - 27," where 27 is the "center."  The acceptable excess or acceptable deficiency is 3 inches.  

So now we can eliminate possible answers B and C, in both cases because 27 is inappropriately greater than 3.

Narrowing down our choices, we have h + 27 and h - 27 inside the absolute value operator.  27 is a positive quantity (height of the guard rail), so the inequality showing +27 as the "center" is correct; that is

D:  |h - 27| ≤ 3 (measurements in inches).

Answer:

JM = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the value of JM

Using similar triangles;

MJ/HN = GJ/HK

GJ+JM/HN = GJ/HK

15+JM/12+16 = 15/12

15+JM/28 = 15/12

Cross multiply

12(15+JM) = 15*28

180+12JM = 420

12JM = 420 - 180

12JM = 240

JM = 240/12

JM = 20

Hence the length of JM is 20
