Answer:

7 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the distance between the library and police station x. Then, the distance between the police station and fire station would be 3 less than twice x. Twice means multiply by 2 so twice x is 2 * x = 2x and 3 less than means that you subtract 3 so 3 less than 2x is 2x - 3. Now, we know that x = 5 so all we have to do now is substitute x = 5 into 2x - 3, therefore, the answer is 2 * 5 - 3 = 7 miles.

Find the equation of the normal to the curve y=x^2-2x^2-4x+1 at thepoint (-1,2)​
balandron [24]

Answer:

y=-\frac{1}{3}x+\frac{5}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the first exponent in the formula for the curve should be 3, not 2...

y=x^3-2x^2-4x+1

The derivative is

y'=3x^2-4x+4

The slope of the tangent line at the point (-1, 2) is the value of the derivative at x = -1.

y'|_{x=-1} = 3(-1)^2-4(-1)+4=3-4+4=3

The slope of the normal line is the opposite reciprocal of the slope of the tangent line.

m_{\text{normal} = -\frac{1}{3}

Using the Point-Slope form of a linear equation, the normal line is

y-2=-\frac{1}{3}(x-(-1))\\y-2=-\frac{1}{3}(x+1)\\y=-\frac{1}{3}x-\frac{1}{3}+2\\y=-\frac{1}{3}x+\frac{5}{3}

Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

3 * 12 = 36

so the total no of pens in a box = 36

The sum of an infinite geometric series is 450, while the common ratio of the series is 4/ 5 . What is the first term of the ser
pogonyaev

Answer:

answer is 90 for first term

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the terms be  

First term x

We will use the formula s∞=x/1−r to find the sum of an infinite geometric series, where −1<r<1.  

We know the sum and the common ratio, so we'll be solving for x where r =4/5

s∞=x/1−r

450=x/1−4/5

450=x/1/5

450=5x

x=90

this is the first term x1 = 90

we know that common ratio is 4/5, so multiplying the first term by factor 4/5 to get the second term  

90 x 4/5=   72 second term
