1 answer:

7 0

The initial value is 3. The common ratio is -9/3 = -3. The general formula is
.. an = a1*r^(n-1)

So, for your values, ...
.. an = 3*(-3)^(n -1)

A small theater sold 72 tickets for a

finlep [7]

Answer:

Adult tickets sold= 9x4 = 36

Senior tickets sold = 9x3= 27

Child tickets sold = 9 x 1 = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

If the parts for adult tickets changed within the 2 ratios given, we should have equated Ratio further. But here that is not 5e case. So, put both ratios together:

Senior:Adult:Child

3:4:1

Now,

Total number of parts 3+4+1=8

Number of tickets sold per part = 72/8 = 9

Therefore number of

Adult tickets sold= 9x4 = 36

Senior tickets sold = 9x3= 27

Child tickets sold = 9 x 1 = 9

Hope this helps.

Malcom is filling bags with rice . He starts with a 5 1/4 pound container of rice and fills each bag with 5/8 pounds of rice . H

timama [110]

Answer:

Malcolm would fill 8 bags of rice.

Step-by-step explanation:

The size of the container of rice = 5 $\frac{1}{4}$ pounds = $\frac{21}{4}$ pounds.

Each bag of rice has a capacity of $\frac{5}{8}$ pounds.

The number of bags of rice that Malcolm fills = $\frac{total quantity of rice}{capacity of each bag}$

= $\frac{21}{4}$ ÷ $\frac{5}{8}$

= $\frac{21}{4}$ x $\frac{8}{5}$

= $\frac{42}{5}$

= 8 $\frac{2}{5}$

Therefore, Malcolm would be able to fill 8 bags of rice.

What are the potential solutions of In(x^2-25)=0?

Maslowich

Answer:

$x =\pm \sqrt{26}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

ln ( x² - 25 ) = 0

And we need to find the potential solutions of it. The given equation is the logarithm of x² - 25 to the base e . e is Euler's Number here. So it can be written as ,

Equation :-

$\implies log_e {(x^2-25)}= 0$
