This is NOT an arithmetic sequence because there is no common difference. It is a geometric sequence because there is a common ratio. Meaning that each term is a constant ratio or multiple of the previous term. The recursive rule for this geometric sequence is:
a(n)=3*a(n-1), a(1)=3
Answer:
more than 15.40 cm and less than 14.60 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
A manufacturer of bolts has a quality control policy that requires it destroy any bolts that are more than 4 standard deviations from the mean.
mean length= 15 cm
standard deviation= 0.10 cm
4 standard deviation from mean= 15±(4×0.10)
therefore, bolts of length more than 15+0.4, and less than 15-0.4 will be destroyed
= 15.40 cm and 14.60 cm
Answer:
I. Length, L = 9.552 meters
II. Width, W = 7.96 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the length = L
Let the width = W
Given the following data;
Perimeter = 35 m
Translating the word problem into an algebraic equation, we have;
Length = 1.2W
To find the dimension of the room;
The perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula;
P = 2(L + W)
Substituting into the formula, we have;
35 = 2(1.2W + W)
35 = 2(2.2W)
35 = 4.4W
Width, W = 7.96 meters
Next, we would find the length of the rectangle;
L = 1.2*W
L = 1.2 * 7.96
Length, L = 9.552 meters
So long as the perimeters are the same, rectangles and squares share the same area. For example, a square that is 2m by 2m across is 4m squared. A rectangle of 4m by 1m across is still 4m squared.
Therefore all we want to do here is see how big we can make our “square” perimeter using the creek. We have three sides to spread 580ft across, therefore if we divide this by 3, we get 193.3ft of fencing per side. If we then square this figure, we will then get the maximum possible area, which comes to 37,377ft squared. (That’s a huge garden).
