Answer:

3.4625

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation:

Q(t)=0.05t^2 + 0.1t + 3.4 parts per million

Where t = time in years

By approximately how much will the carbon monoxide lvel change during the coming 6 months?

t = 6 months = 6/12 = 0.5 year

Q(0.5) = 0.05(0.5)^2 + 0.1(0.5) + 3.4 parts per million

Q(0.5) = 0.05(0.25) + 0.05 + 3.4

Q(0.5) = 0.0125 + 0.05 + 3.4

Q = 3.4625

Carbon monoxide level will change by approximately 3.4625 parts per million in 6 months

An artist mixes colors for a painting. She mixes 1.5 ounces of blue with 2.5 ounces of yellow to get the perfect shade of green.

lesya692 [45]

Answer:

4.5 ounces of yellow and 7.5 ounces of blue will create 12 ounces of the perfect shade of green.

Step-by-step explanation:

1.5 + 2.5 = 4 ounces.

Multiply by 3

4.5 + 7.5 = 12 ounces

So, she needs 4.5 ounces of yellow.

Can someone please please help me :/ I have to get this right. please help

<h3>Answer: Choice B. f(x) = 100 - 68x</h3>

Work Shown:

Solve for y. Then replace y with f(x).

$680x + 10y - 1000 = 0\\\\10y - 1000 = -680x\\\\10y = -680x + 1000\\\\y = \frac{-680x + 1000}{10}\\\\y = \frac{-680x}{10} + \frac{1000}{10}\\\\y = -68x + 100\\\\y = 100 - 68x\\\\f(x) = 100 - 68x\\\\$

Effectively this involves adding 1000 to both sides and subtracting 680x from both sides, afterward we divide both sides by 10 to isolate y.

The 5th term in a geometric sequence is 160. The 7th term is 40. What are possible values of the 6th term of the sequence?

omeli [17]

Answer:

C. The 6th term is positive/negative 80

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Geometric Progression

$T_5 = 160$

$T_7 = 40$

Required

$T_6$

To get the 6th term of the progression, first we need to solve for the first term and the common ratio of the progression;

To solve the common ratio;

Divide the 7th term by the 5th term; This gives

$\frac{T_7}{T_5} = \frac{40}{160}$

Divide the numerator and the denominator of the fraction by 40

$\frac{T_7}{T_5} = \frac{1}{4}$ ----- equation 1

Recall that the formula of a GP is

$T_n = a r^{n-1}$

Where n is the nth term

So,

$T_7 = a r^{6}$

$T_5 = a r^{4}$

Substitute the above expression in equation 1

$\frac{T_7}{T_5} = \frac{1}{4}$ becomes

$\frac{ar^6}{ar^4} = \frac{1}{4}$

$r^2 = \frac{1}{4}$

Square root both sides

$r = \sqrt{\frac{1}{4}}$

r = ± $\frac{1}{2}$

Next, is to solve for the first term;

Using $T_5 = a r^{4}$

By substituting 160 for T5 and ± $\frac{1}{2}$ for r;

We get

$160 = a \frac{1}{2}^{4}$

$160 = a \frac{1}{16}$

Multiply through by 16

$16 * 160 = a \frac{1}{16} * 16$

$16 * 160 = a$

$2560 = a$

Now, we can easily solve for the 6th term

Recall that the formula of a GP is

$T_n = a r^{n-1}$

Here, n = 6;

$T_6 = a r^{6-1}$

$T_6 = a r^5$

$T_6 = 2560 r^5$

r = ± $\frac{1}{2}$

So,

$T_6 = 2560( \frac{1}{2}^5)$ or $T_6 = 2560( \frac{-1}{2}^5)$

$T_6 = 2560( \frac{1}{32})$ or $T_6 = 2560( \frac{-1}{32})$

$T_6 = 80$ or $T_6 = -80$

$T_6 =$ ±80

Hence, the 6th term is positive/negative 80
