Answer: r = 5

Steps:

a_n=ar^{n-1}

1. add Values to formula

1250=2r^{5-1}

2. get r alone

\frac{1250}{2}=\frac{2r^{4}}{2}  ➜ 625= r^4
3. get rid of the exponents

\sqrt[4]{625}= \sqrt[4]{r^4} ➜ \sqrt[4]{625}= r=5

r = 5

Answer:

(-1,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a solution where the two expressions intersect. We can plug in what we know in the first equation in the second.

x= -1

y=3x+1

y= 3(-1)+1

y= -3+1

y= -2

Plugging y value in the equation to find x:

-2=3x+1

-3=3x

x= -1

Therefore, the point is (-1,-2)

<em>I hope this helps! :)</em>

A bacteria sample can be modeled by the function f(x) - 350(1.20) which gives the number of bacteria in the sample at the end of
marissa [1.9K]

Answer: A) The initial number of bacteria is 350.

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential growth equation: f(x)=A(1+r)^x , where A=Initial value, r= growth rate.          (i)

Given: A bacteria sample can be modeled by the function f(x) = 350(1.20)which gives the number of bacteria in the sample at the end of x days.

Here, f(x)=350(1+0.20)

Compare this equation to  (i) , we get A = 350 and r= 0.20 = 20% (growth rate)

So, the  best interpretation of one of the values in this function are:

A) The initial number of bacteria is 350.

What’s the correct answer for this ?<br> The traffic light is approximately _____ feet tall
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

Height = 21.78 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Tan θ = opposite / Adjacent

tan 40 = opposite / 20

where opposite is the part of the traffic light

0.839 × 20 = opposite

opposite = 16.78 ft

Now the total height of traffic light = 16.78 ft +5 ft

Total Height = 21.78 ft
