What are the first five terms of a geometric sequence in which the second term is 6 and the fourth term is 54

Answer:

  2, 6, 18, 54, 162

Step-by-step explanation:

In a geometric sequence, terms that are 2 terms apart (2nd & 4th, for example) have a ratio that is the 2nd power of the common ratio. Since 54/6 = 9 = 3², the common ratio is 3.

The first term will be the 2nd term divided by that ratio; the 5th term will be the 4th term multiplied by that ratio. You can figure the 3rd term any of several ways (and they should all give the same value): multiply the 2nd term, divide the 3rd term, or find the geometric mean of the 2nd & 4th terms: √(6·54) = 18.

Answer:

The inequality x3 − 14x2 + 48x − 1,680 ≤ 0 can be used to find pool’s length.

⇒The water level in the pool cannot exceed 14 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is on inequalities

Given;

Length= x ft

depth= x-6  ft

Width= x-8 ft

volume ≤ 1680 ft³

Forming the inequality to find length x of the pool

Volume= base area × depth

base area × depth ≤ volume

x(x-8) × (x-6) = 1680

(x²-8x )(x-6) = 1680

x(x²-8x) -6 (x²-8x)=1680

x³-8x²-6x²+48x=1680

x³-14x²+48x=1680

x³-14x²+48x-1680 ≤ 0

⇒The water level in the pool cannot exceed 14 feet...why?

taking the value of x at maximum to be 17 according to the graph, then maximum depth will be;

d=x-6 = 17-6=11 ft

⇒11 ft is less than 14ft

For the function
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

For a quadratic function f(x)=ax^2+bx+c, the axis of symmetry is

x=-\frac{b}{2a}.

This comes from using part of the Quadratic Formula for finding zeros of the function:

x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} = \frac{-b}{2a} \pm \frac{\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

See the -b/(2a) in the first term?  That's the x-coordinate of the vertex (turning point) of the parabolic graph of the function.  The axis of symmetry goes through the vertex.
