Mathmate has given you a correct answer -- in fact better than your choices. If you can reduce a fraction, you really should. 11 42/99 is correct and you should pick C. But the better answer would have been 11 14/33 because in the fractional form this is the reduced amount. As a mixed fraction that's as low as it will go.

Perhaps 11 42/99 is good teaching but 11 14/33 is good math.

x=11.4242....

100x=1142.4242....

100x-x = 99x = 1131

x=1131/99 = 11 42/99 (unreduced) = 11 14/33 (reduced fraction)

Find the 8th term for the series 2, 8, 32, 128, … A. 8192 B. 16384 C. 6784 D. 32768

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:32,768

2*4=8*4=32*4=128

So we have to multiply by 4

128*4=512 5th term

512*4=2048 6th term

2048*4=8192 7th term

8192*4=32768 last term

Find the Y-coordinate of point P that lies 1/3 along segment RS, where R (-7, -2) and S (2, 4).

QveST [7]

Solution:

Given that the point P lies 1/3 along the segment RS as shown below:

To find the y coordinate of the point P, since the point P lies on 1/3 along the segment RS, we have

$\begin{gathered} RP:PS \\ \Rightarrow\frac{1}{3}:\frac{2}{3} \\ thus,\text{ we have} \\ 1:2 \end{gathered}$

Using the section formula expressed as

$[\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n},\frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}]$

In this case,

$\begin{gathered} m=1 \\ n=2 \end{gathered}$

where

$\begin{gathered} x_1=-7 \\ y_1=-2 \\ x_2=2 \\ y_2=4 \end{gathered}$

Thus, by substitution, we have

$\begin{gathered} [\frac{1(2)+2(-7)}{1+2},\frac{1(4)+2(-2)}{1+2}] \\ \Rightarrow[\frac{2-14}{3},\frac{4-4}{3}] \\ =[-4,\text{ 0\rbrack} \end{gathered}$

Hence, the y-coordinate of the point P is
