Answer:
1) 36
b) 5
c) 3.0
Step-by-step explanation:
1) The recursive formula that defines the given sequence is
That means we keep adding 4 to the subsequent terms:
The sequence will be:
12,16,20,24,28,32,36,...
Therefore the seventh term is 36.
2) The sequence is recursively defined by;
This means, we have to keep subtracting 5 from the subsequent terms.
The sequence will be;
20,15,10,5,...
Therefore the fourth term is 5
3) The sequence is recursively defined by:
f(n+1)=f(n)+0.5
where f(1)=-1.5
This means that, the subsequent terms can be found by adding 0.5 to the previous terms.
The sequence will be:
-1.5,-1.0,-0.5,0,0.5,1,1.5,2.0,2.5,3.0,....
Therefore f(10)=3.0
Answer:
Let the speed of the train be x km/h.
Case 1:
Distance = 288 km
Speed = x km/h
Time = Distance/Speed
= 288/x h
Case 2:
Distance = 288 km
Speed = (x+4) km/h
Time = 288/x + 4 h
Since 288/x > 288/x + 4
288/x - 288/x+4 = 1
288[1/x - 1/x+4 ] = 1
[ x + 4 - x / x(x + 4) ] = 1/288
[4 / x^2 + 4x ] = 1/288
x^2 + 4x = 1152
x^2 + 4x - 1152 = 0
x^2 + 36x - 32x - 1152 = 0
x(x + 36) - 32(x + 36) = 0
(x + 36)(x - 32) = 0
x + 36 = 0 , x - 32 = 0
x = -36 , x = 32
x = -36 , rejected since speed cannot be negative.
Therefore , speed of the train = 32 km/h
Answer:
Sanchez applied 1,800 fluid ounces of herbicide to his 300 acres of corn.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's identify what we already know:
1) Sanchez has 300 acres of corn
2) For every 1 acre, Sanchez applies 6 fluid ounces of an herbicide.
So, we need to figure out how many fluid ounces Sanchez used for the entire six acres. We can create a formula for this:
300 acres x 6 fluid ounces = x
x equals total number of fluid ounces. We multiple the number of acres by the fluid ounces, to get 1,800 fluid ounces for the entire 300 acres of corn.
Y= kx (k being a constant)
10= k × 4 k=5/2
y= 5x/2 The answer is C.
