we have that

−4+8−16+32−.....

a1=-2*(-2)-----> -4

a2=-4*(-2)-----> +8

a3=+8*(-2)-----> -16

a4=-16*(-2)----> +32

a5=+32*(-2)----> -64

a6=-64*(-2)-----> +128

a7=+128*(-2)-----> -256

The sum of the first 7 terms of the series is

<span>[a1+a2+a3+a4+a5+a6+a7]-----> [-4+8-16+32-64+128-256]-------> -172</span>

<span>
the answer is -172</span>

A golfer hits a ball from a starting elevation of 2 feet with a velocity of 70 feet per second down to a green with an elevation
ikadub [295]

Answer:

4.50 s

Step-by-step explanation:

The motion of the ball is represented by the following equation:

h(t) = 2+70t-16t^2 (1)

where

h(t) is the elevation at time t

2 ft is the initial elevation at t = 0

+70 ft/s is the initial vertical velocity

-32 ft/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

The green is located at an elevation of -7 feet, so the ball lands on the green when

h(t) = -7

Substituting into (1)

-7=2+70t-16t^2

And re-arranging we get

16t^2-70t-9=0

This is a second-order equation in the form

at^2+bt+c=0

which has solutions

t_{1,2}=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} (2)

Here we have:

a = 16

b = -70

c = -9

Substituting into (2) we find the solutions:

t_{1,2}=\frac{70\pm \sqrt{(-70)^2-4(16)(-9)}}{2(16)}

The two solutions are:

t = 4.50 s

t = -0.125 s

The second solution is negative, and since negative time has no physical meaning, the only correct solution is

t = 4.50 s

What is the greatest common factor of 20 and 30???
Ugo [173]
The greatest common factor of 20 and 30 is 10. This is because 10 is the largest number that when it is used to divide 20 or 30, it equals a whole number.

The simple way for us to solve is to write down the factors of both numbers, find the factors that match for both numbers, and see which is the largest out of those that match.

20: <u>1</u>,<u>2</u>,4,<u>5</u>,<u>10</u>,20
30: <u>1</u>,<u>2</u>,3,<u>5</u>,6,<u>10</u>,15,30

Using that logic, we can see that 10 is the greatest factor that the numbers share.
