A geometric sequence begins with −4, 20, −100, 405, … Which option below represents the formula for the sequence? f(n) = −5(−4)n−1 f(n) = −4(−5)n−1 f(n) = −5(−4)n f(n) = −4(−5)n

Answers

Answer 1

The equation that represents the formula for the sequence is f(n) = −4(−5)^n−1

What is geometric sequence?

A geometric sequence is a sequence of numbers that follows a pattern were the next term is found by multiplying by a constant called the common ratio, r.

The ratio of any term to the one that precedes it should be the same for all terms. If they are all the same, then r, the common difference, is that value

The nth term of a geometric sequence is given as

a(n) = ar^n -1

where a is the first term which is -4

r is the common ratio = 20/-4 = -5

Therefore f(n) = -4(-5)^n -1

Therefore the expression that represents the formula of the sequence is f(n) = -4(-5)^n - 1

Given:

The endpoints of a line segment are (-5,12) and (-5,0).

To find:

The coordinates of a points which divides the line segment in 2:1.

Solution:

Section formula: If a point divides a line segment in m:n.

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

Let point P divides the given line segment in 2:1. They, by using section formula, we get

[tex]P=\left(\dfrac{2(-5)+1(-5)}{2+1},\dfrac{2(0)+1(12)}{2+1}\right)[/tex]

[tex]P=\left(\dfrac{-10-5}{3},\dfrac{0+12}{3}\right)[/tex]

[tex]P=\left(\dfrac{-15}{3},\dfrac{12}{3}\right)[/tex]

[tex]P=\left(-5,4\right)[/tex]

Therefore, the coordinate of the point that partitions the given segment in the ratio 2:1 are (-5,4).

subtract 20x from 7x which is -13x

What's the slope of a line that passes through (−12,15) and (0,4)?

Answers

Answer:

-11/12

Step-by-step explanation:

slope for points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2)

slope=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

(x,y)

(-12,15)

(0,4)

x1=-12

y1=15

x2=0

y2=4

slope=(4-15)/(0-(-12))=-11/(0+12)=-11/12

Answer:

Slope: -11/12x

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept equation:

y = mx + b

(m = slope)

The formula for slope is below.

m = [tex]\frac{y_{2} - y_{1} }{x_{2} - x_{1} }[/tex]

With your two points, you can accurately determine your slope.

(-12, 15) (0,4)

x1 = -12

y1 = 15

x2 = 0

y2 = 4

Apply this information in the slope formula to get:

[tex]\frac{4 - 15}{0 - -12}[/tex]

Change the 0 - -12 to 0 + 12

[tex]\frac{4 - 15}{0 + 12}[/tex]

4 - 15 = -11

0 + 12 = 12

Place -11 and 12 into a fraction.

[tex]\frac{-11}{12}[/tex] OR -11/12

Add "x" to the end from "mx" within the slope-intercept equation

Which of the following points have a distance of five units between them? Select all that apply 

A.)(-2,5) and (3,7)
B.)(10,5) and (7,9)
C.)(1,10) and (6,5)
D.)(-4,-8) and (-4,-5)
E.)(2,-5) and (6,-8)

Answers

Answer:

C. (1, 10) and (6, 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the point with a distance of 5 units.

Let the points be x and y.

x = x1 and x2

y = y1 and y2

x2 - x1 = 5 units

y2 - y1 = 5 units.

A quick look at the options, we can tell that the correct option is C.

From points (1, 10) and (6, 5)

x1 = 1, x2 = 6, y1 = 10 and y2 = 5

Substituting into the equation above, we have;

x2 - x1 = 6 - 1 = 5 units

y2 - y1 = 5 - 10 = -5 units.

Therefore, option C with points (1,10) and (6,5) have a distance of five units between them.

The average number in the system

Answers

Answer:

0.667 ;

0.667 customers ;

0.0166708 hour ;

1.334 customers

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Service time (μ) = 30 seconds ; 2 customers per minute ; 2 * 60 = 120 customers per hour

Arrival time, λ = 80 customers per hour

a.) percentage of time machine is busy (p) ; Utilization factor :

P = λ/ μ = 80 / 120 = 0.667

b.) average number of customers waiting in line Li = p² / 2(1-p)

= 0.667² / 2(1-0.667) = 0.667 customers

c) Average time customer spend in the system = Li/λ + 1/μ

= (0.667 / 80) + (1 / 120)

0.0083375 + 0.0083333

= 0.0166708 hour

= 0.0166708 * 60 = 1.00025 minutes

D) average number in the system ;

Li + p

= 0.667 + 0.667 = 1.334 customers

A scientist wanted to measure the constant rate of the current in a particular section of the river. She released a tracker into the river. The tracker sent her back the following information:
After 3.5 seconds since the tracker was released into the river the tracker had traveled 5.5 meters.
After 10.9 seconds since the tracker was released into the river the tracker had traveled 16.5 meters.
What is the constant rate of the current?

Answers

Answer:

1.486m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change is defined as the change in distance divided by the change in time

Rate = ∆distance/∆time

Distance = 16.5 and 5.5

Time = 10.9 and 3.5

When we put this into the formula above, we have:

Rate of change = 16.5 - 5.5 / 10.9 - 3.5

= 11/7.4

= 1.486m/s

The constant rate of change has been calculated to be equal to 1.486m/s

You can use the fact that the rate of the change of a value when some other independent value changes is the ratio of change in the dependent variable to the change in the independent variable.

The constant rate of the current is given by 1.4865 meters per second.

How to measure the rate of change of something as some other value changes?

Suppose that we have to measure the rate of change of y as x changes, then we have:

[tex]Rate = \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]

where we have

[tex]\rm when \: x=x_1, y = y_1\\when\: x = x_2, y= y_2[/tex]

Remember that, we divide by the change in independent variable so that we get some idea of how much the dependent quantity changes as we change the independent quantity by 1 unit.

(5 change per 3 unit can be rewritten as 5/3 change per 1 unit)

How to measure the constant rate of the current for the given situation?

The distance traveled by the tracker depends on the time passed.

Let the variable "t" tracks the amount of time passed and let the variable "d" tracks the distance traveled by the tracker, then we have:

[tex]\rm At \: t = t_1 = 3.5, d=d_1 = 5.5 \: m\\At \: t = t_2 = 10.9, d = d_2 = 16.5 \: m[/tex]

Thus, the constant rate of current is obtained by

[tex]Rate = \dfrac{d_2 - d_1}{t_2 - t_1} = \dfrac{16.5 - 5.5}{10.9 - 3.5} = \dfrac{11}{7.4} \\\\Rate \approx 1.4865 \: \text{meters per second}[/tex]


Thus,

The constant rate of the current is given by 1.4865 meters per second.

Given that a linear function goes through the points (3,2) and (5, 6) determine the slope
of the line.

Answers

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of slope from 2 points is change in y divided by change in x, so you can apply that to this problem.

First, find the change in y between the two points. To do this, do y2 - y1.

y2 = 6 and y1 = 2, so you have 6 - 2 = 4.

Next, find the change in x between the two points. To do this, do x2 - x1.

x2 = 5 and x1 = 3, so you have 5 - 3 = 2.

All you're really doing here is finding the distance between the x values and the y values of the points, if that makes sense.

The last step is to do change in y divided by change in x, so 4 / 2 = 2.

This means that the slope of the line is 2.
