Step-by-step explanation:

x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) + (x + 6) + (x + 8) = 135

5·x + 20 = 135

5·x = 115

x = 23

So the sequence is

23, 25, 27, 29, 31

The second number is 25.

You bike 1 mile the first day of your training, 1.3 miles the second day, 1.9 miles the third day, and 3.1 miles the fourth d

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

19.9 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem we have:

$d_1=1 mi$ is the distance travelled during the 1st day

$d_2=1.3 mi$ is the distance travelled during the 2nd day

$d_3=1.9 mi$ is the distance travelled during the 3rd day

$d_4=3.1 mi$ is the distance travelled during the 4th day

We notice that the difference between the distance travelled on the (n+1)-th day and the distance travelled on the n-th day doubles every day. In fact:

$d_2-d_1=0.3\\d_3-d_2=2\cdot 0.3 = 0.6\\d_4-d_3=2\cdot 0.6 = 1.2$

Which can be rewritten using the general formula:

$d_{n+1}-d_n=2(d_n-d_{n-1})$

This means that

$d_{n+1}=d_n+2(d_n-d_{n-1})$

By applying this formula recursively, we can find the 7th term, which is the distance travelled on the 7th day:

$d_1=1\\d_2=1.3\\d_3=1.9\\d_4=3.1\\d_5=3.1+2\cdot 1.2=5.5\\d_6=5.5+2\cdot 2.4=10.3\\d_7=10.3+2\cdot 4.8=19.9 mi$

So, the distance travelled on the 7th day is 19.9 miles.

Assume Cylinder A and Cone B are the same height and the bases have the same radius. If A has a volume of 18π cm3, what is the v

disa [49]

Answer:

Option A $V_B=19\ cm^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cone is:

$V_B = \pi\frac{hr ^ 2}{3}$

The volume of a cylinder is:

$V_A = \pi(r ^ 2)h$

Both figures have the same height h and the same radius r.

The volume of the cylinder $V_A = 18\pi\ cm ^ 3$

We want to find the volume of the cone.

Then, we find r and h:

$V_A = 18\pi = \pi(r ^ 2)h$

We simplify.

$V_A = 18 = (r ^ 2)h$

Then the product of $(r ^ 2)h = 18$ .

We substitute this in the cone formula and get:

$V_B =\frac{\pi}{3}(18)\\\\V_B = \frac{18}{3}\pi\\\\V_B=19\ cm^3$
