Part 1: Create a scenario for an arithmetic sequence. For example, Jasmine practices the piano for ______ minutes on Monday. Eve

ry day she ___________ her practice time by _________.
If she continues this pattern, how many minutes will she practice on the 7th day? Be sure to fill in the blanks with the words that will create an arithmetic sequence.

Use your scenario to write the function for the 7th term in your sequence using sequence notation.

Part 2: Create a scenario for a geometric sequence. For example, Anthony goes to the gym for ______ minutes on Monday. Every day he _________his gym time by ____________.

If he continues this pattern, how many minutes will he spend at the gym on the 5th day? Be sure to fill in the blanks with the words that will create a geometric sequence.

Use your scenario to write the formula for the 5th term in your sequence using sequence notation.

Part 3: Use your scenario from part 2 to write a question that will lead to using the geometric series formula. Use the formula to solve for Sn in your scenario.

Let a_n be the n'th term of a sequence, 

for example a_1 is the first term, a_2 is the second term and so on.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
a sequence is arithmetic if the difference between any 2 terms is equal:

so an arithmetic sequence, for the first term = t, and the common difference = d, has the following form:

a_1=t

a_2=t+d

a_3=t+d+d

a_4=t+d+d+d

so clearly a_n=t+d*(n-1)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A sequence is geometric, if the ratio between any 2 consecutive terms is the same, and it is called the common ratio.

a geometric ratio with first term = t, and common ratio = r is:

a_1=t

a_2=t*r

a_3=t*r*r

a_4=t*r*r*r

thus clearly a_n=t* r^{n-1}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Part 1:

"<span>Jasmine practices the piano for  __30___ minutes on Monday. Every day she ____increases_______ her practice time by ____5 minutes_____. </span>"


let a_n be the number of hours Jasmine practices the n'th day, 

for n=7, t=30, d=5 we have

a_7=30+5*(7-1)=30+5*6=30+30=60,
 
minutes is the time Jasmine practices on the 7the day.


Part 2

 "<span>Anthony goes to the gym for ___60___ minutes on Monday. Every day he ___increases______his gym time by ____1/10_of the previous day_____. </span>"

if S_n represents the minutes that Anthony goes to gym on the n'th day, 

then

S_1=60

S_2=60+1/10*60=10/10*60+1/10*60=11/10*60=1.1*60

S_3=1.1*1.1*60

S_4=1.1*1.1*1.1*60

S_5=1.1*1.1*1.1*1.1*60= (1.1)^{4}*60= 1.4641*60=87.85
 (minutes)

Part 3: it is clear that the formula that can be derived in Part 2 is:

S_n=60*(1.1)^{n-1}

so assume we want to find how many hours does Anthony spend in the gym on the 10th day,

then we calculate S_10=60*(1.1)^{9}=60*2.358=141.5  (minutes)

Jerome tries to find the value of the expression 3 - 6 + 5 by first applying the commutative property he rewrites the expression
Lana71 [14]
  • Wrong in sign change

How?

  • In commutative law the sign doesn't change whenever it is applied.

Thus

\\ \sf{:}\implies 3-6+5

\\ \sf{:}\implies 3\underline{+5-6}

\\ \sf{:}\implies 8-6

\\ \sf{:}\implies 2

HELPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!
Novosadov [1.4K]

Step-by-step explanation:

98 = 188t - 16t^2

-16t^2 + 188t = 98

-16t^2 + 188t - 98 = 0

8t^2 - 94t + 49 = 0

Use the quadratic formula with a = 8 , b = -94 , c = 49 to get the solutions

t = [(47 - root 1817) / 8]≈ 0.55

and

t = [(47 + root 1817) / 8] ≈ 11.20

Find the volume of a prism-shaped watermelon in cubic inches if it's length is 10 inches, its width is 2/3 foot and it's height
Murljashka [212]
The volume is 60 cubic inches.

To solve, follow the formula Volume = Length · Height · Width. If you are solving without a calculator, simply multiply the length and the height first, then multiply the product of that by the width, 2 / 3.
V = 10 · 9 · 2/3
V = (10 · 9) 2/3
V = 90 · 2/3
<span>V = 60 in.³
</span>
Hope this helps. Good luck! :)
