Aurora is planning to participate in an event at her school's field day that requires her to complete tasks at various stations

in the fastest time possible. To prepare for the event, she is practicing and keeping track of her time to complete each station.
The x-coordinate is the station number, and the y-coordinate is the time in minutes since the start of the race that she completed the task.

(1, 4), (2, 8), (3, 16), (4, 32)

Part A: Is this data modeling an arithmetic sequence or a geometric sequence? Explain your answer. (2 points)

Part B: Use a recursive formula to determine the time she will complete station 5. Show your work. (4 points)

Part C: Use an explicit formula to find the time she will complete the 8th station. Show your work. (4 points

For those who don't understand:

Part A:

Geometric as each number is multiplied by 2

We can see it

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

Part B:

We see that if s is station and t is time then

Ts=3 x 2 to the power of 8 minus 1 end exponent

Which is the required recursive formula to determine the time

=t5

=3 x 2 to the power of 5 minus 1 end exponent

=3 x 16

= 48

So on the fifth time is 48

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

Part C:

the time she will complete station 8:

=t8

=3x2 to the power of 8 minus 1 end exponent

=3x2 to the power of 7

=384

the time she will complete station 9:

=t9

=3x2 to the power of 9 minus 1 end exponent

=3 x 2 to the power of 8

=768

the required time she will complete the 9th station:

=t subscript 9 minus t subscript 8

=768-384

=384

Aurora's plan is an illustration of a geometric sequence.

  • The recursive function is T_n = 2 T_{n-1.
  • She will complete the 8th station in 512 minutes

From the question, we have:

(x,y) = \{(1,4),(2,8),(3,16),(4,32)\}

<u>(a) The pattern model</u>

To check if it represents an arithmetic sequence, we calculate the common difference between the y-coordinates

d = 8 - 4 = 4

d = 16 - 8 = 8

d = 32 - 16 = 16

The calculated differences are not the same;

This means that, the model is not arithmetic

To check if it represents a geometric sequence, we calculate the ratio between the y-coordinates

r = \frac 84 = 2

r = \frac{16}8 = 2

r = \frac{32}{16} = 2

The calculated ratios are the same;

This means that, the model is geometric

<u>(b) The recursive function</u>

The sequence is given as: (x,y) = \{(1,4),(2,8),(3,16),(4,32)\}

Where:

T_1 = 4

T_2 = 8

T_3 = 16

T_4 = 32

Rewrite as:

T_1 = 4

T_2 = 2 \times 4

T_3 = 2 \times 8

T_4 = 2 \times 16

Substitute T_3 = 16 in T_4 = 2 \times 16

T_4 = 2 \times T_3

Express 3 as 4 - 1

T_4 = 2 \times T_{4-1

Represent 4 as n

T_n = 2 \times T_{n-1

Hence, the recursive sequence is:

T_n = 2 T_{n-1

<u>(c) The explicit formula</u>

In (a), we have:

r =2

T_1 = 4

The nth term of a geometric sequence is:

T_n = T_1 \times r^{n-1}

So, we have:

T_n = 4\times 2^{n-1}

Express 4 as 2^2

T_n = 2^2\times 2^{n-1}

Apply law of indices

T_n = 2^{2+ n-1}

T_n = 2^{2-1+ n}

T_n = 2^{1+ n}

So, the time to complete the 8th station is:

T_8 = 2^{1+ 8}

T_8 = 2^{9

T_8 = 512

Hence, she will complete the 8th station in 512 minutes

You invest $3000 in an account at 3.5% per year simple interest. How much will
Schach [20]

Answer:

Option "D" is correct $3630

Step-by-step explanation:

At the beginning of the 7th year, the money has been in the account for 6 years.

The simple interest on $3000 at 3.5% for 6 years is I = prt:

(3000) = (.035) = (6) = 360

he amount in the account at the <u>beginning of the 7th year</u> is then the <u>original amount plus</u> the interest <u>$3630.</u>

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

1/9 use inverse.

Step-by-step explanation:

this is because you can use inversem since the word "of" indicates multiplication divide 1/27 and 1/3 and you get 1/3

Triangle ptg has side lengths of 18 27 cm and 13 cm what type of triangle is it
diamong [38]
Angle PTG = arccos((18^2 + 13^2 - 27^2) / (2 x 18 x 13)) = arccos(-236 / 468) = arccos(-0.5043) = 120 degrees.

The triangle is an obtuse triangle (because one of the angles is greater than 90 degrees) and a scalene triangle (because all the sides are not equal).
