Answer:

Length of the arc on the sixth swing = 9.80 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

A rope is swinging in such a way that the length of the arc traced by a knot at its bottom end is decreasing geometrically.

Length of 3rd arc = 18 ft

Length of 7th arc = 8 ft

We have to find the length of arc formed in a the 6th swing.

As we know in a geometric sequence, explicit formula is given as

a_{n}=a(r)^{n-1}

where a_{n} is the nth term, a is the first term, r is the common ratio and n is the number of term

Now for 3rd term of the sequence ⇒ a_{3}=a(r)^{2}=18------(1)

For 7th term of the sequence ⇒ a_{7}=a(r)^{7-1}=ar^{6}=8 ------(2)

Now we divide equation 2 from equation 2

\frac{a_{7}}{a_{3} }=\frac{a.r^{6}}{a.r^{2}}=\frac{8}{18}

we solve it further

r^{4}=\frac{4}{9}

r^{2}=\sqrt{\frac{4}{9}}=\frac{2}{3}

r=\sqrt{\frac{2}{3}}=\sqrt{0.667}=0.817

Now we put the value of r in equation 1

a.r² = 18

a.(√0.667)²= 18

a×0.667 = 18 ⇒ a = 26.986

Now we will calculate the 6th term of this sequence

a_{6}=(26.99).(0.0.817)^{6-1}=(26.99)(0.817)^{5}=(26.99).(0.363)=9.80

Answer is Length of the arc on the 6th swing = 9.80 ft

<span>The correct answer is 9.8 ft.

Explanation:
This is a geometric sequence, which follows the explicit formula 
</span>g_n=g_1\times r^{n-1}<span> 

where g</span>₁<span> is the first term, r is the common ratio and n is the term number.

We know that the third term is 18; this gives us 18=g</span>₁×<span>r</span>³⁻¹<span> or 18=g</span>₁×<span>r</span>²<span>.

We also know the seventh term is 8, which gives us 8=g</span>₁×<span>r</span>⁷⁻¹<span> or 8=g</span>₁×<span>r</span>⁶<span>.

Solving for g</span>₁<span> in the third term gives us g</span>₁<span>=18/r</span>²<span>, and solving for g</span>₁<span> in the seventh term gives us g</span>₁<span>=8/r</span>⁶<span>. They both equal g</span>₁<span> so we set them equal to each other:

18/r</span>²<span> = 8/r</span>⁶<span>.
Multiply both sides by r</span>⁶<span>, which gives us
18r</span>⁶<span>/r</span>²<span> = 8.

Using our properties of exponents, we have 18r</span>⁴<span> = 8. Divide both sides by 18, which gives us
r</span>⁴<span>=8/18.

We can find the fourth root by taking the square root twice:
taking the square root gives us r</span>²<span> = </span>√<span>8/</span>√<span>18.

Simplifying </span>√<span>8 we get 2</span>√<span>2, and simplifying </span>√<span>18 gives us 3</span>√<span>2; we now have

r</span>²<span>=2</span>√<span>2)/3</span>√<span>2.

The </span>√<span>2 will cancel, leaving r</span>²<span>=2/3. Taking the square root again, we have

r=</span>√<span>2/</span>√<span>3; simplifying this gives us r=</span>√<span>6/3.

We can now work backward to find the sixth term using the seventh one; Divide 8 by </span>√<span>6/3. Dividing by a fraction means multiplying by the reciprocal, so we multiply 8 by 3/</span>√<span>6; this gives us 24/</span>√<span>6, and in a calculator that gives us 9.8 ft.</span>

Why are decimals called decimals​
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

A decimal is a fraction written in a special form. ... Decimal comes from the Latin word decimus, meaning tenth, from the root word decem, or 10. The decimal system, therefore, has 10 as its base and is sometimes called a base-10 system. Decimal can also specifically refer to a number in the decimal system.

I need help with this as soon as possible!​
Kay [80]

Answer:

1. -3/6 is negative, because it descends by 3 and goes over by 6.

2. My first answer literally gives the keyword negative, therefore it's a negative line because it has a <em>negative slope</em>.

1. -8/0 is undefined, because there is a rise but there is no run, which also means that it's a:

2. vertical line

1. -5/-10 simplifies to 5/10 or 1/2, which is positive because it rises by 5(or 1) and runs over by 10(or 2).

2. Thus, this means that it's a positive line since it has a <em>positive slope</em>.

1. 0/-2 is zero, because when you actually solve the equation it'll equal 0.

2. This means that it'll have a horizontal line since there is no rise but there is a run only.

Find the perimeter of a towel thay measures 2 feet by 3/4 foot
levacccp [35]
A typical towel is the shape of a rectangle.
Rectangles have 2 opposite pairs of congruent (equal) sides.
To find perimeter, find the sums of all the sides.

The measures of the towel's sides are:
2 feet
2 feet
3/4 foot
3/4 foot

Add these together to find the perimeter.

2 + 2 + 0.75 + 0.75 = 5.5

The perimeter of the towel is 5.5 feet.

Hope this helps!

leonid [27]

Answer:

sod- 1662.6

fencing- 807.6

all- 2470.2

Step-by-step explanation:

sod-

25.5 * 8.25 = 207.825

207.825*8= 1662.6

fencing-

8.25+8.25+25.5+25.5= 67.3

67.3*12= 807.6

fencing + sod

1662.6 + 807.6= 2470.2
