A large asteroid crashed into a moon of a planet, causing several boulders from the moon to be propelled into space toward the p

lanet. Astronomers were able to measure the speed of one of the projectiles. The distance (in feet) that the projectile traveled each second, starting with the first second, was given by the arithmetic sequence 26, 44, 62, 80,.... Find the total distance that the projectile traveled in seven seconds.

 starting at 26 feet in the first second. 
The total distance will be
<span> 26 + 44 + 62 + 80 + 98 + 116 + 134 = 560 feet[adding all]
so correct option is 560 that is B

Answer:

B


Step-by-step explanation:

You can see from the sequence 26, 44, 62, 80,.... that each term after the first is 18 larger than the previous term.

<u>The first 4 seconds' distance is given</u>, so

  • 5th second distance is 80+18=98
  • 6th second distance is 98+18=116
  • 7th second distance is 116+18=134

To find total distance for 7 seconds, we add up all the individual distances:

26+44+62+80+98+116+134=560


Answer choice B is right.

Two car rental companies have the following payment plans: Cart: $90 per week and 15c per kilometre Renta: $110 per week and 10c
sesenic [268]

Using linear function concepts, it is found that the maximum whole number of kilometres that can be travelled in one week with Carz if it is to cost less than it would with Renta is of 399.

<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>

A linear function is modeled by:

y = mx + b

In which:

  • m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
  • b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0.

For each car, Cart and Renta, the linear functions are given by:

C(k) = 90 + 0.15k

R(k) = 110 + 0.1k

Cart will cost less than Renta if:

C(k) < R(k)

Hence:

90 + 0.15k < 110 + 0.5k

0.05k < 20

k < 400

Hence, the maximum whole number of kilometres that can be travelled in one week with Carz if it is to cost less than it would with Renta is of 399.

Find x y and z. Thanks!
stepan [7]

Answer:

x = 6, z = 5.66 to nearest hundredth.

y = 90 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the chord intersection theorem 12*4 = 8 * x

So x = 6.

By the tangent / chord theorem:

z^2 = 2 * (12+4)

z^2 = 32

z = 5.66.

I'm not 100% sure of the value of angle y but I think its

1/2(100 + 80) = 90 degrees.

I'll try and check that out.

Yes that is right.

One month Tammy rented 2 movies and 3 video games for a total of $25. The next month she rented 4 movies and 8 video games for a
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

cost of each video game = $5.50

cost of each movie = $4.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let m represent cost per movie

g represents cost per video game.

Create two equations to represent the total cost Tammy rented movie and video games in each month, and solve simultaneously for each variable:

First month:

2m + 3g = 25 => equation 1

Second month:

4m + 8g = 61 => equation 2

Multiply equation 1 by 4, and multiply equation 2 by 2 to derive:

4 × 2m + 3g = 25

2 × 4m + 8g = 61

8m + 12g = 100 => equation 3

8m + 16g = 122 => equation 4

Subtract equation 4 from equation 3

You'd have:

- 4g = - 22

Divide both sides by -4

g = 5.5

Thus, the cost of each video game = $5.50.

Substitute g = 5.5 in equation 1 and solve for m.

2m + 3g = 25

2m + 3(5.5) = 25

2m + 16.5 = 25

Subtract 16.5 from each side

2m = 25 - 16.5

2m = 8.5

Divide both sides by 2

m = 4.25

Thus, cost of each movie = $4.25.
