Write an equation that models the sequence 400, 200, 100, 50, ...

2 answers:

3 0

You're starting at 400. Each time you're cutting in half.

So the common ratio is 1/2 which means the equation is

$\Large y = 400(1/2)^{x-1}$

which is in the geometric sequence format. So the answer is choice D

Answer:

(a) Rule: Multiply the input (x) by 2 and add 5 to the result of the product

(b) $y =2x +5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The attached table

Solving (a): The rule of the table in words

First, we calculate the slope (m)

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

Using:

$(x_1,y_1) = (2,9)$

$(x_1,y_1) = (10,25)$

So, we have:

$m = \frac{25 - 9}{10 - 2}$

$m = \frac{16}{8}$

$m=2$

The equation is calculated using:

$y - y_1 =m(x - x_1)$

Using:

$(x_1,y_1) = (6,17)$

We have:

$y - 17 =2(x - 6)$

$y - 17 =2x - 12$

Make y the subject

$y =2x - 12+17$

$y =2x +5$

Hence, the rule is:

Multiply the input (x) by 2 and add 5 to the result of the product

(b): The rule, in algebra

As solved in (a), the rule is:

$y =2x +5$

Two boats leave the same place at the same time. The first boat heads due north at 10 kilometers per hour. The second boat heads

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

18.87 km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

First boat is heading North with a speed of 10 km/hr.

Second boat is heading West with a speed of 16 km/hr.

Time for which they move = 2.5 hours

To find:

The speed at which the distance is increasing between the two boats.

Solution:

Let the situation be represented by the attached diagram.

Their initial position is represented by point O from where they move towards point A and point B respectively.

$Distance = Speed \times Time$

$Distance\ OA = 10 \times 2.5 = 25\ km$

$Distance\ OB = 16 \times 2.5 = 40\ km$

We can use Pythagorean Theorem to find the distance AB.

AB is the hypotenuse of the right angled $\triangle AOB$ .

According to Pythagorean theorem:

$\text{Hypotenuse}^{2} = \text{Base}^{2} + \text{Perpendicular}^{2}\\\Rightarrow AB^{2} = OA^{2} + OB^{2}\\\Rightarrow AB^2 = 25^2 + 40^2\\\Rightarrow AB^2 = 2225^2\\\Rightarrow AB^2 \approx 47.17\ km$
