Answer: A) 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
In a geometric sequence, the consecutive terms differ by a common ratio. The formula for determining the nth term of a geometric progression is expressed as
Tn = ar^(n - 1)
Where
a represents the first term of the sequence.
r represents the common ratio.
n represents the number of terms.
If the third term is 20, it means that
T3 = 20 = ar^(3 - 1)
20 = ar²- - - - - - - - - - 1
If the third term is 20, it means that
T5 = 5 = ar^(5 - 1)
5 = ar⁴- - - - - - - - - - 2
Dividing equation 2 by equation 1, it becomes
5/20 = r⁴/r²
1/4 = r^(4 - 2)
(1/2)² = r²
r = 1/2
Answer:
42

Answer: D. 5 blinks</h3>
=========================================================
Explanation:
First we'll need to find out how long it takes for the ball to go from the pitcher to the batter.
It needs to travel 60.5 feet and does so at a speed of 121 ft/sec
distance = speed*time
time = distance/speed
time = (60.5 ft)/(121 ft per sec)
time = 0.5 seconds
In half a second, the ball is from the pitcher to the batter.
------------
An eye blink is 0.1 second which means we can form this equation
0.1 second = 1 blink
We multiply both sides by 5 to get the "0.1 second" to turn into "0.5 seconds".
So,
0.1 second = 1 blink
5*(0.1 second) = 5*(1 blink)
0.5 seconds = <u>5 blinks</u> which points us to choice D.
