Answer:

18miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Full cost minus the original cost.

30-3=27

Now you have to divide the cost by 1.5 because you have to find the distance and that is the cost per mile.

$27/1.5=18mi

Answer: 18 milles

Step-by-step explanation: ince we have to figure out how many miles away Mr. Hill lives, first we will subtract:

30 - 3 = 27

Then, divide

27 ÷ 1.50 = 18

So, Mr. Hill lives 18 miles away

What is the equation, in point-slope form, of the line that is perpendicular to the given line and passes through the
Svetradugi [14.3K]

keeping in mind that perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, hmmmm what's the slope of that line above anyway,

\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-1})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{4}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{2}) ~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{2}-\stackrel{y1}{(-1)}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{4}-\underset{x_1}{1}}}\implies \cfrac{2+1}{3}\implies 1 \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

\bf \stackrel{\textit{perpendicular lines have \underline{negative reciprocal} slopes}} {\stackrel{slope}{\underline{1}\implies \cfrac{\underline{1}}{1}}\qquad \qquad \qquad \stackrel{reciprocal}{\cfrac{1}{\underline{1}}}\qquad \stackrel{negative~reciprocal}{-\cfrac{1}{\underline{1}}\implies -1}}

so we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is -1 and runs through (2,5)

\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{5})~\hspace{10em} \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies -1 \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{5}=\stackrel{m}{-1}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{2}) \\\\\\ y-5=-x+2\implies y=-x+7

1. The sum of the three consecutive members of the geometric sequence is 13. The proportion of the third and the first member is
aev [14]
If a = first term and r = common ratio we have

a + ar + ar^2 = 13   and ar^2 / a = r^2 = 9

so r = 3

and a + 3a + 9a = 13 
so a = 1

so they are  1,3 and 9 

2.
in geometric series we have

4 , 4r ,4r^2 , 60

Arithmetic;
 4,  4r , 4r + d ,  4r + 2d

so we have the system of equations
4r + 2d = 60
4r^2 = 4r + d
From first equation
2r + d = 30 
so d = 30 - 2r 
Substitute for d in second equation:-
4r^2 - 4r - (30-2r) = 0
4r^2 - 2r - 30 =0

2r^2 - r - 15 = 0
(r - 3)(2r + 5) = 0
r  = 3 or -2.5
r must be positive so its = 3
and d = 30 - 2(3) = 24

and the numbers are 4*3 =  12 , 4*3^2 = 36

first 3  are  4 , 12 and 36  ( in geometric)
and last 3 are 12, 36 and 60  ( in arithmetic)

The 2 numbers we ause are 12 and 36.
