The correct answer is (A) 45 minutes.

Explanation:
This question is bit tricky because the graph is adjusted in such a way in the grid that it is bit hard to find the slope of it (although it is a straight line). Also we do not know where the line intersects the y-axis (for y-intercept of the equation y = mx + c). Hence we need to guess it. Let me explain how (in less time)!

As you can see in the graph that at 42 minutes, the value of "point scored" is BELOW 28 (right?). And the graph is increasing (as it is a straight line). Hence "30 points scored" MUST have the value greater than 42 minutes. So in options, the only value that is greater than 42 minutes is 45 minutes (Option A)

Answer:

12/5

Step-by-step explanation:

tan A = opp/adj

For angle theta, 12 is the opposite leg.

13 is the hypotenuse.

We were not given the length of the adjacent leg, but we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find it.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a^2 + 12^2 = 13^2

a^2 + 144 = 169

a^2 = 25

a = 25

The adjacent leg has a length of 5.

tan theta = opp/adj

tan theta = 12/5

Answer: 12/5

What is the 6th term of the geometric sequence where a1 = 1,024 and a4 = −16? 1 −0.25 −1 0.25

VLD [36.1K]

The n-th term is given by

$a_n=a_1\cdot r^{(n-1)}\qquad\text{where r is the common ratio}$

Then we can find the common ratio from the given terms.

$\dfrac{a_4}{a_1}=\dfrac{a_1\cdot r^{(4-1)}}{a_1}=r^3=\dfrac{-16}{1024}=\left(\dfrac{-1}{4}\right)^3\\\\r=\dfrac{-1}{4}\\\\a_6=1024\left(\dfrac{-1}{4}\right)^5=-1$
