6 - 34 + 96 - 384 +...
a 1 = 6 , a 2 = a 1 * ( - 4 ) , a 3 = a 2 * ( - 4 ), a 4 = a 3 * ( - 4)...
a 5 = - 384 * ( - 4 ) = 1,536
a 6 = 1536 * ( - 4 ) = - 6,144
a 7 = - 6,144 * ( - 4 ) = 24,576
This is a sum of a geometric sequence:
S 7 = 6 - 24 + 96 - 384 + 1,536 - 6,144 + 24,576 = 19,662
Another way to solve this:
S 7 = a 1 * ( r^n - 1) / ( r - 1 ) = 6 * (( - 4) ^7 - 1 )/ (- 4 - 1)=
= 6 * (-16,385) / (-5 ) = 19,662

Emery borrowed money from her brother to buy a new phone, and is paying off a fixed amount each week. After 2 weeks, she will ow

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer: A. The original price was $608. B. $76 each week C. Quite useful, as it keeps track of the amount of money she still needs to owe each week.

Step-by-step explanation: For part A, 5 week subtracted by 2 weeks is 3 weeks. 456-228 is 228. Then divide 228 by 3 and you get $76. Then do 2x76 to get 152 and add it to 456, and you get 608.

3. In ΔABC, AB = 5 inches and BC = 3 inches. Which of the choices represents all possible values for AC, in inches?

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

2< AC<8

Step-by-step explanation:

For a triangle to exits sum of two sides must always be greater than the the third side

⇒ AC< AB+ BC =5+3=8 in

⇒AC<8 in

Also, the difference of the two sides must be smaller than the length of third side

⇒ AC> | AB-BC| = |5-3| =2

AC> 2 in

therefore, we can say 2< AC<8. Hence, AC can takes 3,4,5,6 values

Between which pair of numbers is the exact product of 379 and 8?

AnnZ [28]

The product of 379 and 8 is 3,032.

It's between (any number less than 3,032) and (any number greater than 3,032).

I guess if this is an <em>estimation </em>exercise, you could say that it's between
(8 x 300) and (8 x 400), or 2,400 and 3,200.

A lighthouse keeper has a 10 degrees angle of depression between the horizontal light beam and the line of sight from the ship.

Andrei [34K]

107.75m
This is a trigonometric ratio problem. the angle of depression (10) is opposite the height (19m) and the distance is adjacent to the distance (x). opposite ad adjacent sides to the angle is a tangent problem.
$tan \theta = \frac{opp}{adj}$
plus in values, we know.
$tan (10) = \frac{19}{x}$
switch tan(10) and x using the products property.
$x = \frac{19}{tan (10)}$
plug in to calulator to get answer
x=107.75
