What are the next two numbers in the pattern 3,6,5,10,9,18,17.

2 answers:

6 0

This pattern appears to alternate between doubling and subtracting by 1.

To get from 3 to 6, we multiply by two.
To get from 6 to 5, we subtract one.
To get from 5 to 10, we multiply by two.
To get from 10 to 9, we subtract one.
To get from 9 to 18, we multiply by two.
To get from 18 to 17, we subtract one.

Therefore, next we need to multiply by two.
17 x 2 = 34
So, the next number is 34.

To find the number after, we subtract one.
34 - 1 = 33
Thus, the number after is 33.

In conclusion, the next two numbers are 34 and 33.

34 and 33 because the pattern goes # x 2 then - 1

Question:

Britney throws an object straight up into the air with an initial velocity of 27 ft/s from a platform that is 10 ft above the ground. Use the formula h(t)=−16t2+v0t+h0 , where v0 is the initial velocity and h0 is the initial height. How long will it take for the object to hit the ground?

1s 2s 3s 4s

Answer:

It takes 2 seconds for object to hit the ground

Solution:

The given equation is:

$h(t) = -16t^2 + v_0t+h_0$

Initial velocity = 27 feet/sec

$h_0 = 10\ feet$

Therefore,

$h(t) = -16t^2 +27t+10$

At the point the object hits the ground, h(t) = 0

$-16t^2 +27t+10 = 0\\\\16t^2-27t-10=0$

Solve by quadratic formula,

$\mathrm{For\:a\:quadratic\:equation\:of\:the\:form\:}ax^2+bx+c=0\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}\\\\x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\\mathrm{For\:}\quad a=16,\:b=-27,\:c=-10:\quad \\\\t=\frac{-\left(-27\right)\pm \sqrt{\left(-27\right)^2-4\cdot \:16\left(-10\right)}}{2\cdot \:16}\\\\t = \frac{27 \pm \sqrt{1369}}{32}\\\\t = \frac{27 \pm 37}{32}\\\\We\ have\ two\ solutions\\\\t = \frac{27+37}{32}\\\\t = \frac{64}{32}\\\\t = 2\\\\And\\\\t = \frac{27-37}{32}\\\\t = -0.3125$

Ignore, negative value

Thus, it takes 2 seconds for object to hit the ground

I need to know the distance between points x and y

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance between two points P(x1,y1) and Q(x2,y2) is given by: d(P, Q) = √ (x2 − x1)2 + (y2 − y1)2 {Distance formula} 2. Distance of a point P(x, y) from the origin is given by d(0,P) = √ x2 + y2.

John left the museum and drove south at a rate of 55 mph. Sally left four hours later driving 10 mph faster than John in an effo

Leona [35]

Answer:

22 hours (B)

Step-by-step explanation:

John's velocity = 55mph

Sally's velocity = 65mph

John's time taken = x

Sally's time taken = x - 4

since they must cover the same distance.

and, distance = vel × time

Sally's vel × time = John's vel × time

55x = 65(x-4)

55x = 65x - 220

-10x = -220

x = 22 hours.

Therefore, Sally catches up after 22 hours
