The distance s s that an object falls varies directly with the square of time, t t, of the fall. If an object falls 16 16 feet in one second, how long for it to fall 256 256 feet

Answers

Answer:

It will take 16 seconds to fall 256 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance s that an object falls varies directly with the square of time t of the fall i.e.

[tex]s=kt[/tex]

Where

k is the constant of proportionality

An object falls 16 feet in one second, it means,

16 feet = 1 second

1 feet = (1/16) seconds

To fall 256 feet,

[tex]t=\dfrac{256}{16}\\\\t=16\ s[/tex]

So, it will take 16 seconds to fall 256 feet.

1 A car uses 20 litres of petrol to travel 160 km.
How much petrol does the car use to travel 400 km?​

Answers

50 litres of petrol is the answer

Answer:

50 litres

Step-by-step explanation:

If you think of it as a ratio, there are 20 litres to every 160 km. There are __ litres to every 400 km. To get to 400, 160 is multiplied by 2.5

So multiply 20 by the same number and you get the number of litres for 400 km.

20 * 2.5 = 50

Answers

Answer:

Both 4x^2 and 64 are perfect squares

Step-by-step explanation:

If you are looking for the difference of squares, the two terms both have to be squares. We know that 64 is a square because it is 8 x 8. Also, we can say 4x^2 is a square because it can also be written as (2x)^2. We are basically looking for an option that tells us that they are square. This is option 1.

The second option is invalid because being an even number does not mean the number is a square.

The third option does not help the case much either. Just because there is a common perfect square factor, does not mean the numbers themselves are perfects squares.

For a given geometric sequence, the 9th term, a9, is equal to 43/256 and the 14th term, a14, is equal to 172. Find the value of the 18 term

Answers

Answer:

[tex]18th=44032[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

9th term [tex]a9=\frac{43}{256}[/tex]

14th term [tex]a14=172[/tex]

Generally the equation for Geometric sequence is mathematically given by

 [tex]a_n=a_1r^{n-1}[/tex]

For 9th term

 [tex]\frac{43}{256}=a_1r^{8}[/tex]

For 14th term

 [tex]172=a_1r^{13} \\a_1=\frac{172}{r^13}[/tex]

Substitute in 9th term

 [tex]\frac{43}{256}=\frac{172}{r^13}*r^{8}[/tex]

 [tex]\frac{43}{256*172}=r^{-5}[/tex]

 [tex]r=^5sqrt{\frac{44032}{43}}[/tex]

 [tex]r=4[/tex]

Therefore First term a is given as

 [tex]a_1=\frac{172}{4^13}[/tex]

 [tex]a_1=2.563*10^{-6}[/tex]

Generally the equation for the 18th term is mathematically given by

 [tex]18th=a_1r^{17}[/tex]

 [tex]18th=2.563*10^{-6}*4^{17}[/tex]

 [tex]18th=44032[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

5(x - 9) + 3(x + 4) = 2(x - 6)

First expand the terms in the bracket

That's

5x - 45 + 3x + 12 = 2x - 12

Simplify

8x - 33 = 2x - 12

8x - 2x = 33 - 12

6x = 21

Divide both sides by 6

[tex] \frac{6x}{6} = \frac{21}{6} \\ x = \frac{21}{6} [/tex]

Simplify

We have the final answer as
