find the third term of the geometric sequence when a1 = 1/4 and r=-2

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

(-2)(1/4)=-1/2

(-2)(-1/2)

=1

Answer 2

the third term of the geometric sequence with first term = 1/4 and common ratio r = -2 is 1

We have a geometric sequence in which the first term is [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] and the common ratio is -2.

We have to find the third term of this geometric sequence.

What is the formula to find the [tex]n^{th}[/tex] term of a geometric sequence?

The formula to find the [tex]n^{th}[/tex] term of a geometric sequence with first term [tex]a_{1}[/tex] and common ratio r is -

[tex]a_{n} =a_{1} r^{n-1}[/tex]

In our question, [tex]a_{1}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]  and r = -2 and n =3.

Substituting the values, we get -

[tex]a_{3} =\frac{1}{4}(-2)^{3-1} = \frac{1}{4} (-2)^{2} =\frac{1}{4}\times4=1[/tex]

Hence, the third term of the geometric sequence with first term = 1/4 and common ratio r = -2 is 1.

Answers:first box = 0 second box = 0 third box = 4fourth box = -3

It's not a typo that 0 is written twice.

==============================================================

Explanation:

This is considered a step function because it resembles steps or a staircase. The vertical pieces aren't drawn to allow it to remain a function (or else it fails the vertical line test). Also there should be open holes at each left endpoint.

Recall that any horizontal line has a slope of 0 due to the fact that the rise is 0

slope = rise/run

The rise takes care of the vertical change in position. But if the line doesn't go up or down, then rise = 0 leads to slope = 0.

In short, the slope of each horizontal portion is 0. It doesn't matter which sub-section you focus on.

This is why you'll type 0 into the first two boxes.

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

As for the remaining two boxes, you'll be looking where the graph is the highest and the lowest to determine the max and min y values respectively.

We see that y peaks at y = 4 at the very top. So you'll type 4 into the third box.

Furthermore, we see that the lowest part of the graph is when y = -3. Therefore, this is the minimum aka smallest y value and you'll type -3 into the fourth box.

(This is part 2 to question 1) A. −16t+9 B. −16t2+4t3 C. 9t2+25t D. −16t2+25t+1

Answers

Answer:

a or b

Step-by-step explanation:

it just looks like b or a

H(t) = -4.9t^2 + 25t + 2

Height is a function of time

plug in 0, 1,2,3,4, and 5 to find the height at 0, 1,2,3,4, and 5 seconds.

at t = 0

H(0) = -4.9(0)^2+25(0) + 2 = 2 meters

Repeat for T=1,2,3,4 and 5

Notice the ball peaks around t = 3 seconds and starts to descend.  

H(1) = (-4.9)(1^2) + 25(1) + 2 = 22.1 meters

H(2) = (-4.9)(2^2)+25(2)+2=32.4 meters

H(3) = 32.9 meters

H(4) = 23.6 meters

H(5) = 4.5 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

End behaviour refers to the asymptotes, which both exponential functions have the same one at y = 2. However, they have different y - intercepts. The first one has a y - intercept of 4 and the second one has a y - intercept of 6. Thus, the answer is D.

Answer:

            D. They have different y-intercepts but the same end behavior

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's name the function from graph: f

for f:

y-intercept = f(0) = 4

for x → ∞,  f(x)→2

for g:

y-intercept = f(0) = 4(¹/₄)⁰+2 = 4•1+2 = 4+2 = 6 ≠4

f(1) =  4(¹/₄)¹+2 = 4•¹/₄+2 = 1+2 = 3

f(2) =  4(¹/₄)2+2 = 4•¹/₁₆+2 = ¹/₄+2 = 2¹/₄

f(3) =  4(¹/₄)³+2 = 4•¹/₆₄+2 = ¹/₁₆+2 = 2¹/₁₆

f((5) =  4(¹/₄)⁵+2 = 4•¹/₁₈₂₄+2 = ¹/₅₁₂+2 = 2¹/₅₁₂

....

so for x x → ∞,  f(x)→2

Gabby is touring New York City with her family. They want to visit the Empire State Building, Central Park, and Times Square before their dinner reservations at 8:25 P.M. They want to spend 1 hour and 10 minutes at the Empire State Building, 2 hours and 50 minutes in Central Park, and 1 hour in Times Square. What is the latest time Gabby's family can start their tour in order to make it to dinner on time?​

Answers

Answer:

3:25 pm

Step-by-step explanation:

How much time do they need for tours

Empire State Building : 1 hour 10 minutes

Central Park                   2 hour 50 minutes

Times Square                1 hour

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

                                      4 hours 60 minutes

but 60 minutes = 1 hour  so subtract 60 minutes and add 1 hour

4 hours 60 minutes

+1        -60

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

5 hours

They need 5 hours for the tours

We have to be at dinner at 8:25 so we need to start 5 hours earlier

8:25

- 5

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

3:25

We can start no later than 3:25 pm

Answer:

3.25

Step-by-step explanation:

First convert into minutes

1 hour = 60 minutes

Empire state building:

60 + 10 = 70

Central park:

60 + 60 + 50 = 170

Times square:

60

Now add all minutes together.

70 + 170 + 60 = 300 minutes.

Convert into hours:

300 / 60 = 5 hours.

8 - 5 = 3

So, Gabby's family can start their tour at 3:25 at most to get to dinner on time.

Hope this helped.

The unitary method is a method for solving a problem by the first value of a single unit and then finding the value by multiplying the single value.

Here, the table below shows one doctor's patients who got the flu and whether or not they took a vitamin each day.

We need to find the P(took a vitamin | got the flu).

Now, 25 people took a vitamin and still got the flu.

The total number is 100.

So, the fraction is 25/100 which can be reduce to 1/4.

P(took a vitamin | got the flu) = 25/100

Please help URGENT!!... There are 200 students in the 7th grade class at Manchester Middle School. Of these students, 22% play football, and 12% play baseball. Eight students play on both teams. What is the probability that a student plays either football or baseball? A. 30% B. 38% C. 26% D. 34%

Answers

Answer:34

Step-by-step explanation:just add the percents

Answer:

C. 26%

Step-by-step explanation:

We can sort students into three categories: Football Only, Baseball Only, and students who play Both.

Firstly, let's turn the percentages into numbers to make the calculations easier:

To find 22% convert into decimal and multiply:

0.22 x 200 = 44 TOTAL Football players

Similarly, 0.12 x 200 = 24 TOTAL Baseball players.

The question then tells us that 8 students play both.

This means there are 44-8 = 36 students who play ONLY football, and

24-8= 16 students who ONLY play baseball:

Football Only:      Both:     Baseball Only:

        36                  8                   16

44 Total Football and    24 total baseball

The question asks the probability of a student playing EITHER football OR baseball which therefore does not include the students who play both.

Now we can add up all these numbers of students which gives us:

36 + 16 = 52

Now to find the percentage we just divide 52 by 200:

52/200 = 0.26 which is equivalent to 26%.

Therefore the answer is C. 26%

Selling frozen yogurt at a fair, you make $565 and use 250 cones. A single-scoop cone cost $2 and a double-scoop cone cost $2.50. How many of each type of cone did you sell?

Answers

The seller sold 120 single-scoop cones and 130 double-scoop cones to make $565.

250 cones were used while selling yogurt and made $565.

There are two types of cones:

Single-scoop cone that cost $2.

Double-scoop cone that cost $2.50.

We need to know how many cones of each type were used while selling yogurt that made $565.

This is a system of linear equations problem.

We will have to make two linear equations using the given statements and apply the substitution method to get our answer.

Consider,

x = single-scoop cone.

y = double-scoop cone.

Now, we can make two linear equations:

x + y = 250............(A)

2x + 2.50y = 565...............(B)

Apply substitution method.

From (A) we get,

x = 250 - y...............(C)

And putting x = 250 - y in (B) we get,

2 ( 250 - y ) + 2.50y = 565

500 - 2y + 2.50y = 565

0.50y = 565 - 500

0.50y = 65

y = 65 / 0.50
y = 6500 / 50

y = 130

Putting y = 50 in (C) we get,

x = 250 - 130

x = 120

We have,

x = 120 and y = 130

We see that we need 120 single-scoop cones and 130 double-scoop cones to make $565.
