Answer: The sequence is geometric

Step-by-step explanation:

In an arithmetic sequence, the consecutive terms differ by a common difference and this difference is linear.

Common difference = given term - the term before it

In geometric progression, the consecutive terms differ by a common ratio this difference is exponential.

Common ratio = given term/the term before it

Looking at the given sequence,

1) d = 6 - - 2 is not equal to - 18 - 6

Therefore, it is not an arithmetic sequence

2) r = 6/- 2 = - 18/6 = - 3

Therefore, it is a geometric sequence.

A manufacturer produces bolts of a fabric with a fixed width. A quantity q of this fabric (measured in yards) that is sold is a

BigorU [14]

Answer:

$R'(20) = 2000$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Quantity, q

Selling price in dollars per yard, p

$q=f(p)$

Total revenue earned =

$R(p)=pf(p)$

f(20)=13000

This means that 13000 yards of fabric is sold when the selling price is 20 dollars per yard.

f′(20)=−550

This means that increasing the selling price by 1 dollar per yards there is a decrease in fabric sales by 550.

We have to find R'(20)

Differentiating the above expression, we have,

$R'(p) = \displaystyle\frac{d(R(p))}{dp} = \frac{d(pf(p))}{dp} = f(p) + pf'(p)$

Putting the values, we get,

$R'(p) = f(p) + pf'(p)\\\\R'(20) = f(20) + 20(f'(20))\\\\R'(20) = 13000 + 20(-550) = 2000$

PLEASE HELP!!! Show your work too, please!

Step-by-step explanation:

first fish tank: 95-4x

second fish tank: 40+5x

1. Define variable

The variable x represents the number of days.

2. Write the inequality

95-4x=40+5x

3. You probably don't need the answer but I am just going to solve.

The first fish tank will have less water than the second fish tank after 7 days.

95-4x=40+5x

95-4(7)=40+5(7)

95-28=40+35

67=75

Since the first equation (95-4x) represents the first fish tank, and the second equation (40+5x) represents the second fish tank, the solution shows how the amount of water in the first fish tank is less than the amount of water un the second fish tank after 7 days.

Rolando's Labrador retriever had 12 puppies. Eight of her puppies were yellow labs and the rest were black labs. What is the rat

natta225 [31]

Answer:

1:2

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 12 total puppies. To find the number of black puppies, we have to subtract the yellow from the total. So:

12 - 8 = 4

There are 4 black puppies. Now we put the black puppies in ratio to yellow puppies:

4:8

Then simplify (divide both sides by 4):

1:2
