So,

1400 people in total. Though, subtract 200 for the amount of extra adults. This makes 1200. Divide that by two. You get 600

You need to add 200 to the 600 to get the amount of adults. The amount of adults on board is 800.

The amount of children on board is 600.

600 plus 800 equals 1400, it makes sense. :P

Explain in your own words why (x + y)2 ≠ x2 + y2. Provide a numerical example to illustrate.

bekas [8.4K]

Im not sure if you wrote this wrong because (x+y)2 does equal x2+y2. An example would be if x equals 3 and y equals 4 (3+4)2=(3)2+(4)2 (7)2=6+8 14=14.

4. a) A ping pong ball has a 75% rebound ratio. When you drop it from a height of k feet, it bounces and bounces endlessly. If t

Klio2033 [76]

First part of question:

Find the general term that represents the situation in terms of k.

The general term for geometric series is:

$a_{n}=a_{1}r^{n-1}$

$a_{1}$ = the first term of the series

$r$ = the geometric ratio

$a_{1}$ would represent the height at which the ball is first dropped. Therefore:

$a_{1} = k$

We also know that the ball has a rebound ratio of 75%, meaning that the ball only bounces 75% of its original height every time it bounces. This appears to be our geometric ratio. Therefore:

$r=\frac{3}{4}$
