<span>1. Draw a set of railroad tracks such that the lengths of horizontal ties form a geometric sequence.

Answer:

A geometric sequence is a sequence whose terms keep a constant ratio, for example, 1, 2, 4, 8. 16, ... As you see the ratio is between a term and the previous one is 2/1 = 4/2 = 8/4 = 16/8 = 2.

With that in mind, you can draw a sequence of rail roads with lenghts 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 ,...

This is it:

-                                     (1)
--                                    (2)
----                                  (4)
--------                             (8)
---------------                    (16)
------------------------------  (32)


2. Write the first four terms of the sequence.

Answer: 1, 2, 4, 8

3. Write a recursive formula for the sequence.

Answer: A(n) = 2 * A(n-1)

That means that the nth terms is equal to the (n-1)th term times 2.

4. Write an explicit formula for the sequence.
</span>
Answer:

An = 2 ^ (n - 1), where n is the number of the term = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ...

You can verify that that generate:

A(1)  = 2^(1 - 1) = 2^0 = 1

A(2) = 2 ^ (2-1) = 2^1 = 2

A(3) = 2^(3-1) = 2^2 = 4

A(4) = 2^(4-1) = 2^3 = 8

Find the volume of a cylinder if it is 2 feet tall and has a diameter of 1.5. Use 3.14 for pi.
olga55 [171]

Answer:

3.5325

Step-by-step explanation:

V = 3.14*(.75^2)(2)

You divide the diameter by 2 to get the radius which is 1.5/2 =.75

r=.75

h=2

and you use the equation for volume of cylinder which is V = pi x radius squared x height

there would be a 99% chance of a red marble being pulled out or even a 1% chance.

because of their being five green marbles and six red there is always a chance you could pull out any one of the colors.

but i believe that both of the answers are 1/2

but im not 100% sure

Megan works at Amazon’s warehouse. She is responsible for packing boxes into trucks for shipment. Each truck can hold 22 boxes,
Leokris [45]

Answer: Her estimate is incorrect because she has to have 25 trucks to be able to ship all her boxes.

Step-by-step explanation: Divide 539 by 22 and if there is a remainder then you need to have one more because you cant take half a truck.

539/22=24.5. Since there is a remainder, you will need 25 trucks total
