Note: The third term of the sequence should be
instead of
, otherwise the sequence has no common ratio.
Given:
The given sequence is

To find:
The common ratio of the given sequence.
Solution:
The quotient of each pair of consecutive terms are:

Similarly,


And,


Therefore, the common ratio of the given sequence is
or 0.75.
Answer:
17.9 m/s
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume of the slick = 0.5 x π r² h--------------------------------- (1)
Where r = radius of slick
h = thickness of slick, 10⁻⁶m
If 0.5m³ of oil leaked, then the radius of the semicircular slick can be calculated from equation (1)
V = 0.5 x π r² h
0.5= 0.5 x π x r² x 10⁻⁶
r² = 10⁶/ π
r = 10³/√π
dV/dt = πrh dr/dt + 0.5π r² dh/dt----------------------------------- (2)
Asumming the film thickness is constant , equation (2) becomes
dV/dt = πrh dr/dt-------------------------------- (3)
dV/dt = 0.1m³/day
r= 10³/√π
dr/dt= rate of expansion of the slick
Substituting into (3);
0.1 = π x 10³/√π x 10⁻⁶ x dr/dt
dr/dt = 0.1 x 10⁶/ ( π x 10³/√π)
= 17.9479 m/s
≅ 17.9 m/s
The slope (increase) is 0.26 and the y-intercept (start) is 67.6.
You could describe the temperature outside using this equation.
For example, at the beginning of the day, the temperature was 67.6. Then, it increase by 0.26 degree for every given amount of time (minutes or hours).
Answer:
The number of days is at most 5 days
= d ≤ 5 days
Step-by-step explanation:
A rental car company charges $31 per day to rent a car and $0.13 for every mile driven. Jocelyn wants to rent a car, knowing that:
She plans to drive 500 miles.
• She has at most $220 to spend.
At most means Less than or equal to $220
The inequality for expressing this = ≤
Hence, the inequality which can be used to determine d, the number of days Jocelyn can afford to rent while staying within her budget.
$31 × d + $0.13 × 500 miles ≤ $200
The inequality is given as:
31d + 65 ≤ 220
Solving further
31d ≤ 220 -65
31d ≤ 155
d ≤ 155/31
d ≤ 5
Therefore, the number of days is at most 5 days
