Answer: 1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

The explicit formula for the sequence is $a_{n}=10(0.5)^{n-1}$

Substituting in n=4,

$a_{4}=10(0.5)^{4-1}=\boxed{1.25}$

Sonja [21]

Answer:

$x=10$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

When two lines are crossed by another line (transversal), the angles in matching corners are called Corresponding Angles.

When the line are parallel the corresponding angles are equal in measurement.

In this problem

$(8x+50)\°=130\°$ -----> by corresponding angles

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

Solve for x

Subtract 50 both sides

$8x=130-50$

$8x=80$

Divide by 8 both sides

$x=80/8$

$x=10$

Sara can type 90 words in 4 minutes.About how many words would you expect her to type in 10 minutes?

Alexus [3.1K]

90 words in 4 minutes is the same as 45 words in 2 minutes because you divide both sides by 2. 2 goes into 10, 5 times, so 45x5=225.
You can expect her to type 225 words in 10 minutes.

The graph shows the amount of water that remains in a barrel after it begins to leak. The variable x represents the number of da

vivado [14]

A = ( 15 , 15 )

B = ( 6 , 33 )

$slope = \frac{y(b) - y(a)}{x(b) - x(a)} \\$

$slope = \frac{33 - 15}{ 6 - 15} \\$

$slope = \frac{18}{ - 9} \\$

$slope = - 2$

Thanks for watching buddy good luck.
