Answer:  a_n = 4(1.1)^{n-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the initial number of hot dogs = 4

According to the question,

The number of hot dogs is increasing by 110% of that of previous day,

Thus, the number of hot dog in first day = 4

Second day = 110 % of 4 = 4.4

Third day = 110% of 4.4 = 4.84

Fourth day = 110% of 4.84 = 5.324

So on.......

Thus, we get a GP,

4, 4.4, 4.84, 5.324 ..........................

That having common ratio, d = 1.1

And, first term, a = 4

Since, the nth term of the GP, a_n = a\times d^{n-1}

Hence, the required explicit formula of the given situation,

a_n = 4(1.1)^{n-1}

Answer:

The number of hot dogs on any particular day is given by:

D_n=(1.1)^{n-1}\times 4 where n represents the nth day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let D_n represents the number of hot dogs in nth day of his training.

As it is given that  he eats 4 hot dogs on his first day of training that means:

D_1=4

Now it is also given that:

he plans to eat 110% of the number of hot dogs he ate the previous day.

i.e. the recurrence relation is given as:

D_n=110\%\times D_{n-1}

which could also be written as:

D_n=1.1\times D_{n-1}

Now:

D_2=1.1\times D_1=1.1\times 4\\\\D_3=1.1\times D_2=1.1\times 1.1\times 4=(1.1)^2\times 4\\\\D_4=1.1\times D_3=(1.1)^3\times 4\\\\.\\.\\.\\.\\.\\.\\D_n=(1.1)^{n-1}\times 4

Hence, the number of hot dogs on any particular day is given by:

D_n=(1.1)^{n-1}\times 4 where n represents the nth day.

Does the point (-4, 2) lie inside or outside or on the circle x^2 + y^2 = 25?​
stiv31 [10]

Given equation of the Circle is ,

\sf\implies x^2 + y^2 = 25

And we need to tell that whether the point (-4,2) lies inside or outside the circle. On converting the equation into Standard form and determinimg the centre of the circle as ,

\sf\implies (x-0)^2 +( y-0)^2 = 5 ^2

Here we can say that ,

• <u>Radius</u> = 5 units

• <u>Centre </u> = (0,0)

<u>Finding</u><u> </u><u>distance</u><u> between</u><u> </u><u>the </u><u>two </u><u>points</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u>

\sf\implies Distance = \sqrt{ (0+4)^2+(2-0)^2} \\\\\sf\implies Distance = \sqrt{ 16 + 4 } \\\\\sf\implies Distance =\sqrt{20}\\\\\sf\implies\red{ Distance = 4.47 }

  • Here we can see that the distance of point from centre is less than the radius.

<u>Hence </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>point</u><u> </u><u>lies </u><u>within</u><u> </u><u>the </u><u>circle</u><u> </u><u>.</u>

-6+8x=-38<br> What is the answer and explain how you got it step by step
Anarel [89]
-6 +8x = -38
8x = -32
x = -4
I did this by first adding 6 to both sides to get 8x by itself. I then divided by 8 to get x by itself. I remembered to use the - - + rule (Two negatives make a positive, a positive and a negative make a negative). Hope this helps!

The graphs of quadrilateral LMNO and its image are shown below.
Arada [10]
Hello!

First of all let's look at points L and L'. The coordinates for L are (-5,-4) and the coordinates for L' are at (0,3). 

First of all let's think about the vertical translation. This is the change in the y-axis. As you can see, the difference of 3 and -4 is 7. This means there was a vertical translation of 7, or it was moved up 7 units.

Now we have the horizontal translation, or the change in the x-axis. The difference of -5 and 0 is 5. Therefore it had a horizontal translation of 5.

(-5,-4)⇒(0,3) was translate up 7 units and translated right 5 units.

I hope this helps!
