HELP ASAP What is the explicit formula for this sequence 5,2,-1,-4

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

For an nth term U(n) = a + (n - 1)d

n = number of terms

a = first term

d = common difference

a = 5

d = 2 - 5 = - 3

U(n) = 5 + (n -1)-3

= 5 - 3n + 3

= 8 - 3n

The formula for the sequence is 8 - 3n

Hope this helps

Answers

Answer:

  0

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplying the first equation by xy, we have ...

  x^2 +y^2 = -xy

Factoring the expression of interest, we have ...

  x^3 -y^3 = (x -y)(x^2 +xy +y^2)

Substituting for xy using the first expression we found, this is ...

  x^3 -y^3 = (x -y)(x^2 -(x^2 +y^2) +y^2) = (x -y)(0) = 0

The value of x^3 -y^3 is 0.

Brian has been playing a game where he can create towns and help his empire expand. Each town he has allows him to create 1.17 times as many villagers. The game gave Brian 8 villagers to start with. Help Brian expand his empire by solving for how many villagers he can create with 16 towns. Then explain to Brian how to create an equation to predict the number of villagers for any number of towns. Show your work and use complete sentences.

Answers

Answer:

f(n) = 8 x 1.17^(n)

f(16) = 8 x 1.17^(16)

f(16) = 8 x 12.330...

f(16) = 98.64243...

This is right because

8 x 1.17 = 9.36

9.36 x 1.17 = 10.9512

10.9512 x 1.17 = 12.812904

Answer:

8 × (1.17)^t

99 villagers

Step-by-step explanation:

Each town Brian has allows him to create 1.17 times as many villagers as he had in the town before. The initial number of villagers to start with = 8. To predict the number of villagers in any specific town :

Initial number × (Increment)^number of town

Let number of town = t

Increment = 1.17

Initial number (I) = 8

8 × (1.17)^t

Using this formula :

Number of villagers in 16th town:

t = 16

Number of villagers :

8×(1.17)^(16)

8×(1.17)^16

8 × 12.33030

= 98.642

= 99 round up

Suppose you inherited a house that was purchased in 1950 for 20,000. It is now 2015 and the value of the house has increased by approximately 5% each year what is the house worth now round to the nearest dollar

Answers

Answer:

I think the house would now costs $85,000

Step-by-step explanation:

First, I multiplied by how many years between 1950 to 2015 and 5 to get 325.

Next, I divided 20,000 by 100 to get 200 to find 1% of 20,000.

Then, I multiplied 325 by 200 to get 65,000

Finally, I added 20,000 to 65,000 to get 85,000

So, I guess/answer is $85,000

If I was wrong, then just say, "Sorry, but that was incorrect."

Answer:

$476798

Step-by-step explanation:

2015-1950= 65 years

Initial price= $20000

Price increase= 5% yearly

Current price= $20000*(1+0.05)^65= $476798

By selling a watch in Rs 150 and Rs 200 loss and profit are happened
respectively. If the loss and the profit are equal, find its cost price.​

Answers

Answer:

Rs 175

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the cost is x and at Rs150 the loss is 150-x (this should be a negative number).

At Rs200, the profit is 200-x.

So we have an equation: minus 150 minus x is equal to 200 minus x.

To solve the equation, the cost price X is Rs175.

What is the measure of EAC?


In circle O, AD and BE are diameters. The measure of arc


AB is 55° and the measure of arc CD is 25°.


100°


125°


235°


280°

Answers

Answer:

D. 280°

Step-by-step explanation:

The question lacks the required diagram. Find the diagram attached below.

From the diagram,

arc EAC = arc EAB + arc BC ... (1)

Note that arc EAB is the angle on the straight line EB and since sum of angle on a straight line is 180°, arc EAB = 180°

Next is to get the arc BC. It can be seen from the diagram that arc BC + arc CD + arc DE = 180°

Given arc CD = 25°, arc DE = arc AB = 55° (since the diameter AD and BE are the same). On substituting this values we will have:

arc BC + 25°+55° = 180°

arc BC = 180° - 80°

arc BC = 100°

Remember from initial equation 1 that arc EAC = arc EAB + arc BC

arc EAC = 180°+100°

arc EAC = 280°

The measure of EAC is therefore 280°

Answer:

280

Step-by-step explanation:

AB is a vertical angle of ED. This means that they are congruent.

ED + CD = ?

55 + 25 = 80

360 - 80 = 280

Lizbeth has 38 coins consisting of nickels, dimes, and quarters. The total value of the coins is $6.40. The number of quarters if three more than three times the number of dimes. How many of each type of coin does Lizbeth have? PLEASE EASY 25 POINTS.

Answers

Answer:

21 quarters, 6 dimes, and 11 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

# of Quarters = x.

# of Dimes = y.

# of Nickels = z.

(i)x = 3y+3.

(ii) 0.25x + 0.1y + 0.05z = 6.4

(iii) x + y + z = 38.

Multiplying (iii) by -0.05, and adding it to (ii),

we then get:

0.2x + 0.05y = 4.5.

Now plug in (i) into this.

0.65y + 0.6 = 4.5.

0.65y = 3.9

y = 6.

Since y = 6, we can subsitute this into our equation.

0.2x + 0.3 = 4.5

0.2x = 4.2

x = 21.

Since x = 21, y =6, then z = 11.

A cup of hot coffee will, over time, cool down to room temperature. The principle of physics governing the process is Newton's Law of Cooling. The temperature (in degrees Fahrenheit) of a cup of coffee can be modeled by the following equation: f(t)=80+120e^(-0.08t) Here the time t is measured in minutes after the coffee was poured into the cup. A. Explain, using the structure of the expression 80+120e^(-0.08t), why the coffee temperature decreases as time elapses (8 points). B. What is the temperature of the coffee at the beginning of the experiment (7 points)? C. Drinking coffee at 175 degrees can possibly burn your tongue. After waiting for 2 minutes, Leo became impatient and decided to drink the coffee. Will he be alright (7 points)? D. The ideal temperature to drink coffee is between 120 to 140 degrees, as many of the more subtle flavors of coffee are revealed. When is the best time for Leo to drink coffee (8 points)?

Answers

Answer:

A. Because the coefficient of time is negative .

The value of t decreases as time passes .

The temperature of the coffee decreases as time passes and the coffee will evemtually cool down to room temperature

B. At the beginning , t=0

Hence Temperature will be 80 + 120 = 200º

c. He wont be alright . High temperature , less time to cool down . So he wont be alright . Coffee might still be hot .

D. Assuming the temp is 130º

80 + 120ᵅ⁻⁰·⁰⁰⁸ˣ = 130

120ᵅ⁻⁰·⁰⁰⁸ˣ =130-80

120ᵅ⁻⁰·⁰⁰⁸ˣ =50

a-0.008x =(50/120)

0.008x = ln(0.416)

x = 10.962 =11mins

so he has to wait 11 mins to drink.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(t)=80+120e^(-0.08t)

-----------------------

A) Temperature decreases over time as the coefficient of time is negative (-0.08)

B.  t=0 ⇒ f(0)= 80 + 120*1 = 200 deg

C. t=2 ⇒ f(2)= 80+120*e^(-0.08*2) ≈ 182 deg

Coffee is still hot. He won't be alright. He needs to wait more

D. f(x)= 12080+120e^(-0.08x)= 120120e^(-0.08x)=40e^(-0.08x)=1/3-0.08x= ln(1/3)-0.08x= -1.0986x= -1.0986/-0.08x ≈ 14 min

best time is ≈ 14 min

What is the value of n in the equation 1/2 (n-4) -3 = 3 - (2n+3)

n = 5 × 2/5

n = 10/5

The diagram shows the cross-section ABCD of a sculpture in the shape of
a prism

The height of the prism is also 9 cm.
What is the volume of the sculpture in cm3?

Answers

Answer:

891 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume (V) of the prism is calculated as

V = Ah ( A is the area of cross- section and h is the height (

The cross- section is a trapezium with area (A) calculated as

A = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] h ( a + b)

where h is the perpendicular height and a, b the parallel bases

Here h = 9, a = AB = 14 and b = CD = 8 , thus

A = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × 9 × (14 + 8) = 4.5 × 22 = 99 cm² , thus

V = 99 × 9 = 891 cm³

A small plane and a large plane are 6.8km from each other, at the same altitude (height). From an observation tower, the two airplanes are separated by an angle of 58°. The large plane is 5.2km from the observation tower. a. Draw a diagram to represent this situation. b. How far is the small plane from the observation tower, to the nearest tenth of a kilometer?

Answers

Answer:

7.9km

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)See attached for the diagram representing this situation.

(b)

In Triangle ABC

[tex]\text{Using Law of Sines}\\\dfrac{\sin A}{a}=\dfrac{\sin C}{c} \\\dfrac{\sin A}{5.2}=\dfrac{\sin 58^\circ}{6.8} \\\sin A=5.2 \times \dfrac{\sin 58^\circ}{6.8}\\A=\arcsin (5.2 \times \dfrac{\sin 58^\circ}{6.8})\\A=40.43^\circ[/tex]

Next, we determine the value of Angle B.

[tex]\angle A+\angle B+\angle C=180^\circ\\40.43+58+\angle B=180^\circ\\\angle B=180^\circ-(40.43+58)\\\angle B=81.57^\circ[/tex]

Finally, we find b.

[tex]\text{Using Law of SInes}\\\dfrac{b}{\sin B}=\dfrac{c}{\sin C} \\\dfrac{b}{\sin 81.57^\circ}=\dfrac{6.8}{\sin 58^\circ} \\b=\dfrac{6.8}{\sin 58^\circ} \times \sin 81.57^\circ\\b=7.9km $ (to the nearest tenth of a kilometer)[/tex]

The distance between the small plane and the observation tower is 7.9km.
