The common ratio is,
r= 450/300 = 3/2


nth term of geometric series is given by,
a_{n} = a₁r^{n-1}
a₂₀ = 300(3/2)¹⁹ = 665051

Answer:

the population be on Week 20 is about 665,051

Step-by-step explanation:

The growth of a bug population shows a geometric sequence as shown in the table

For all geometric sequence , there should be a common ratio

Lets find common ratio 'r'

To find common ratio we divide second term by first term

so common ratio r= \frac{450}{300} =\frac{3}{2}

To find nth term of geometric sequence , formula is

a_n = a_1(r)^{n-1}

Where a1 is the first term  and r is the common difference

a1= 300 and r= 3/2

We need to find the population on Week 20, so n= 20

We plug in all the values and find out a20

a_{20} = 300(\frac{3}{2})^{20-1}

a_{20} = 300(\frac{3}{2})^{19}=300*2216.83782=665051.346

the population be on Week 20 is about 665,051

Find two unit vectors orthogonal to both given vectors. i j k, 4i k
Maurinko [17]
The cross product of two vectors gives a third vector \mathbf v that is orthogonal to the first two.

\mathbf v=(\vec i+\vec j+\vec k)\times(4\,\vec i+\vec k)=\begin{vmatrix}\vec i&\vec j&\vec k\\1&1&1\\4&0&1\end{vmatrix}=\vec i+3\,\vec j-4\,\vec k

Normalize this vector by dividing it by its norm:

\dfrac{\mathbf v}{\|\mathbf v\|}=\dfrac{\vec i+3\,\vec j-4\,\vec k}{\sqrt{1^2+3^2+(-4)^2}}=\dfrac1{\sqrt{26}}(\vec i+3\,\vec j-4\vec k)

To get another vector orthogonal to the first two, you can just change the sign and use -\mathbf v.

Mary has walked 8 km, which is 55% of the total distance she will walk. How much farther
Viefleur [7K]

To find the total distance, Divide distance already walked by percentage:

8 / 0.55 = 14.55 km

She already walked 8 so now subtract:

14.55 - 8 = 6.55 km left to walk

Can someone help me with this math homework please!
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Least common denominator of 4 and 2 is 4

To eliminate the fraction, each term should be multiplied by 4

ANS:option c

2) Mercury level of water 'y' years = Initial measure +rate of increase 'y' years

0.05 +0.1y = 0.12+0.06y

Ans : Option c

3) 4b +6 = 2 - b + 4

Add 'b' to both sides

4b + b + 6 = 2 + 4

5b + 6 = 6

Subtract 6 from both sides

5b = 6 - 6

5b = 0

 b = 0

Ans : Option b

4) Maximum decimal places in this equation is 2. So, to eliminate decimal places, The equation should be multiplied by 100

Ans: option d

5) y +6 = -3y + 26

Add 3y to both the sides

y + 6 + 3y =  26

y + 3y + 6 = 26

4y + 6 = 26

Subtract 6 from both sides

4y = 26-6

4y = 20

Divide bothe sides by 4

y = 20/4

y = 5

Ans: option c

6) '2x' is  subtracted from both side of the equation.

Ans: option a - subtraction property of equality
