A sequence begins with the number 4, and subsequent numbers are determined by taking the previous number, tripling it, and adding six to the product. What is the smallest starting number ao in a sequence whose fifth term is greater than 10,000? Please explain

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A whole number first term to render as fifth term a value larger than 10000, should be at least 121

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula is given as recursive since it involves the previous number of the sequence, and defined as:

[tex]a_n=a_{n-1}*3+6[/tex]

we also know that the first term is 4

Then in this case, the first five terms are:

[tex]a_1=4\\a_2=4*3+6=18\\a_3=18*3+6=60\\a_4=60*3+6=186\\a_5=186*3+6=564\\[/tex]

So if we want to find the first term in the case that the fifth one is greater than 10,000 using this recursive formula, now we have to start backwards, and say that the fifth term is "> 10000" and what the fourth one is.

Notice that if you have this definition for the nth term, we can obtain from it, what the previous term is to find the general rule:

[tex]a_n=a_{n-1}*3+6\\a_n-6=a_{n-1}*3\\\frac{a_n-6}{3} = a_{n-1}\\a_{n-1}=\frac{a_n}{3} -2[/tex]

So the rule is to subtract 6 from he term, and divide the subtraction by 3. Then working backwards:

[tex]a_5>10000\\\frac{a_5}{3} -2>\frac{10000}{3} -2\\a_4>=\frac{10000}{3} -2\\\frac{a_4}{3} -2>\frac{\frac{10000}{3}-2}{3}-2 =\frac{10000}{9}-\frac{8}{3} \\a_3>\frac{10000}{9}-\frac{8}{3} \\\frac{a_3}{3} -2>\frac{\frac{10000}{9}-\frac{8}{3} }{3} -2=\frac{10000}{27} -\frac{8}{9} -2=\frac{10000}{27} -\frac{26}{9}\\a_2=\frac{10000}{27} -\frac{26}{9}\\\frac{a_2}{3} -2>\frac{\frac{10000}{27} -\frac{26}{9}}{3} -2=\frac{10000}{81} -\frac{80}{27} \\a_1>\frac{10000}{81} -\frac{80}{27}\approx 120.49[/tex]

therefore, the starting first term should be at least about 121 to give a fifth term larger than 10,000

Mr. Avogadro started with 5.14x1022 atoms of Pa-234. Ten days later Mr. Avogadro calculated the original sample had only 6.43 X 1021 atoms of Pa-234. What s the half life of Pa-234?

Answers

Answer:

The half life of Pa-234 is approximately 0.0701656609 days

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for half life is calculated as:

t½ = t.In(2)/In(No/Nt)

Where:

t½ = Half life of the substance in days

t = Time elapsed in days

No = Beginning amount

Nt = End Amount

In the question,

t = Time elapsed = 10 days

No = Beginning amount = 5.14 × 10²²

Nt = End Amount = 6.43 × 10²¹

t½ = t.In(2)/In(No/Nt)

t½ = 10.In(2)/In(5.14 × 10²²/6.43 × 10²¹)

t½ = 6.9314718056/98.78723754

t½ = 0.0701656609 days

The half life of Pa-234 is approximately 0.0701656609 days

Which form of a quadratic function is easiest to use when finding the maximum or minimum value of the function?

Answers

Answer:

ax² + bx + c

Step-by-step explanation:

The form of a quadratic equation that is easy to use when finding the maximum or minimum value of the function is ax² + bx + c.

Suppose a quadratic function:

f(x) = 2x² - 8x + 9

Use ( -b/2a ,  f(-b/2a) ).

-b/2a

a = 2

b = -8

-(-8)/2(2)

8/4

= 2

f(2) = 2(2)² - 8(2) + 9

f(2) = 2(4) - 8(2) + 9

f(2) = 8 - 16 + 9

f(2) = 1

The minimum value of this quadratic function is (2, 1).

It represents a minimum value because a > 0.

Answer:

Vertex form

Step-by-step explanation:

There are several forms of the quadratic equation

Standard form: y = ax^2 + bx + c which is useful for the quadratic equation and the axis of symmetry

Factored form: y = (ax - c)(bx - d)   which will give us the zeros

and

Vertex form: y = a(x - h)2 + k where ( h,k) is the vertex

The maximum and minimum would be the value of k

It would be maximum when a >0 and minimum when a<0

From the section formula

[tex](x,y)=\left(\dfrac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n}, \dfrac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}\right)[/tex]

The y-coordinates of the point that divides the directed line segment from J to K into a ratio of 5:1 is obtained using the formula:

[tex]y=\dfrac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}\\m=5, n=1, y_1=-10, y_2=2\\Therefore:\\y=\dfrac{5*2+1*-10}{5+1}\\=\dfrac{10-10}{6}\\=0[/tex]

The y-coordinates of the point that divides the directed line segment from J to K into a ratio of 5:1 is 0.

The y coordinate of the point that divides J to K in the ratio 5 : 1 is 0.

Distance

If a point O(x, y) divides the line segment AB with end points A(x₁, y₁) and B(x₂, y₂) in the ratio n:m, the coordinate of O is:

[tex]x=\frac{n}{n+m} (x_2-x_1)+x_1\\\\y=\frac{n}{n+m} (y_2-y_1)+y_1[/tex]

Let O(x, y) represent the point dividing J to K in the ratio 5 : 1. K(7,2) and J(1, -10)Hence:

Answer: 2 <= X <= 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a factory can work its employees no more than 5 days a week, that is, less than or equal to 5 days.

And no less than 2 days per week. That is, greater than or equal to 2 days.

Let X be the number of days employee can work. Then, according to the first statement, X <= 5 and according to the second statement, X >= 2

An inequality to represent the range of days an employee can work will be

2 <= X <= 5

Therefore, an employee can work for 2 days, 3 days, 4 days and 5 days

BRAINLIEST!!!! Suppose 40 bikes stand near a playground. Some of them are bicycles, some of them are tricycles, and two of them have four wheels. John counts all the wheels and gets 100, in total. How many tricycles are there?

Answers

Answer:

16 tricycles

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's make a chart:

Bicycles- x bicycles and 2x wheels

tricycles- y tricycles and 3x wheels

Four wheeled vehicles- 2 bikes (given), 8 wheels

Since the total amout of bikes is 40, that means that x+y+8=40

You can simplify that to x+y=38.

now, we're going to form another equations dealing with the number of wheels.

Since we know that four wheeled vehicles already have only 8 wheels, then that means 2x+3y=92

Solve the system of equations:

2x+3y=92

x+y=38

y will be 16

An equation is formed of two equal expressions. There are a total of 16 tricycles.

What is an equation?

An equation is formed when two equal expressions are equated together with the help of an equal sign '='.

Let the total number of bicycles be represented by x, while the total number of tricycles is represented by y.

The total number of vehicles is 40. Therefore, we can write the equation as,

x + y + 2= 40

x + y = 38

Solving the equation for x,

x = 38-y

Also, given that the total number of wheels is 100, also, the number of four-wheelers is 2. Therefore, the total number of wheels can be written as,

2x + 3y + 2(4) = 100

2x+ 3y = 92

Substitute the value of x from the above equation,

2(38 - y) + 3y = 92

76 - 2y + 3y = 92

y = 16

Hence, there are a total of 16 tricycles.

The midpoint is (2.5, 3.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint is the average of the coordinates

x = (x1+x2)/2  and y =(y1+y2)/2

x = (2+3)/2 = 5/2 = 2.5

y = (3+4)/2 = 7/2 = 3.5

The midpoint is (2.5, 3.5)

Answer:

(2.5, 3.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint is found by taking the average of the x-coordinates and the average of the y-coordinates.

Here, the average of the x-coordinates is (2 + 3)/2 = 5/2 = 2.5.

The average of the x-coordinates is (3 + 4)/2 = 7/2 = 3.5.

The answer is thus (2.5, 3.5).

Complete Question

Correct 36.2598 to

a) to one decimal place.

b) To the nearest hundredth.

c) to nearest 0.001

d) to the nearest whole number

Answer:

a) to one decimal place = 36.3

b) To the nearest hundredth= 36.26

c) to nearest 0.001 = 36.260

d) to the nearest whole number = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are to round up 36.2598 to the following:

a) to one decimal place.

Rounding up 36.2598 to one decimal place means we are looking at the first number after the decimal which is 2. The number after it is 5, so we are adding one to 2. Hence,

36.2598 to one decimal place = 36.3

b) To the nearest hundredth:

Rounding up 36.2598 to the nearest hundredth means we are rounding up to 2 decimal places. This means we are looking at the second number after the decimal which is 5. The number after it is 9, which is higher than 5 so we are adding one to 5. Therefore,

36.2598 to the nearest hundredth = 36.26.

c) to nearest 0.001

Rounding up 36.2598 to the nearest 0.001 means we are rounding up to the nearest thousandth which is 3 decimal places.

This means we are looking at the third number after the decimal which is 9. The number after it is 8, which is higher than 5 so we are adding one to 9.

Therefore,

36.2598 to the nearest 0.001 = 36.260

d) to the nearest whole number

Rounding up 36.2598 to the nearest whole number means we are rounding up the number before the decimal place. That number is 6. We look at the first digit after the decimal, it is less than 5, 6 remains unchanged, if it is 5 and above, we add one to 6.

For our question, the number after the decimal is 2, it is less than 5 so 6 remains unchanged.

36.2598 to the nearest whole number = 36.
