You push your younger sister on a swing one time and then allow your sister to

Mathematics

Ber [7]3 years ago

Answer:

My sister will swing the total distance = 40 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

On the first swing my sister travels a distance of 8 feet.

In every successive swing she travels 80% of the distance of the previous distance.

So the sequence formed by the distance traveled in every swing will be a geometric sequence.

First term of the sequence 'a' = 8 feet

common ratio 'r' = 0.80

Since this sequence is an infinite geometric sequence,

Sum of this sequence = \frac{a}{(1-r)}  [Since r < 1]

                                     = \frac{8}{1-0.8}

                                     = \frac{8}{0.2}

                                     = 40 feet

Therefore, my sister will cover the total distance = 40 feet

The minimum value of f(x) = x3 – 3x2 – 9x + 2 on the interval [–4, 0] is
garri49 [273]

Answer:

-74

Step-by-step explanation:

Graph the function. See attached picture. Between the interval where -4 > x < 0, the graph rises up to a peak and descends back down when x = 0. This means the minimum value will be where x = -4.

Substitute x = -4 into the equation.

f(-4) = (-4)^3 -3(-4)^2 - 9(-4) + 2

f(-4) = -64 -3(16) +36 + 2

f(-4) = -64 - 48 + 36 + 2

f(-4) = -74

The midpoint of a circle is (3,2), the
Marysya12 [62]

yo sup??

mid point of circle=centre of circle

let centre be O(3,2)

and the point be P(-4,8) and the other point be Q(x,y)

by mid point formula

-4+x/2=3 and 8+y/2=2

x=10 and y=-4

therefore coordinates of the other point are (10,-4)

Hope this helps.

Can someone help with this please
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

22x^2 -10xy + 12x

Step-by-step explanation:

To add and subtract polynomials, combine only like terms. When doing it vertically, stack polynomials and line up the same bases and exponents. Once this is done, simply add and subtract the coefficients.

  10x^2 + 12xy + 4x

+ 12x^2 -22xy + 8x

_________________

22x^2 -10xy + 12x

Here we added 10 + 12 = 22, 12 + -22 = -10 and 4 + 8 = 12.
