Answer:

99

Explanation:

First strike=25 in

Second strike=4/5*25=20 in

Third strike=4/5*20=16 in

Fourth strike=4/5*16=12.8 in

Fifth strike=4/5*12.8=10.24 in

sixth strike=4/5*10.24=8.192 in

seventh strike=4/5*8.192=6.5536 in

Total=(25+20+16+12.8+10.24+8.192+6.5536) in=98.7856 in

Taking this as a geometric series

Sum(7)=a\frac{(1-r^{7}}{1-r} where a is initial value taken as 25 for this case and r is rate taken as 4/5 or 0.8 in our case

Sum(7)=25\frac {1-0.8^{7}}{1-0.8}=98.7856 in

To the nearest inches, sum is 99 in

Each of the four expansion models (recollapsing, critical, coasting, and accelerating) predict different ages for the universe,
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

This is because the age of the universe is determined by the pace of expansion in the past, and each model forecasts a different pace.

Explanation:

The age of the universe is determined by the pace of expansion in the past, and each model forecasts a different pace.

This is due to the fact that the expansion rate in the coasting model is constant and never changes. Because the cosmos is growing faster now than during the old days, recollapsing and critical models give shorter ages. According to the accelerating model, the universe is growing at a slower rate currently than in the past, implying an older age.

Fynjy0 [20]

The patient eating a candy bar instead of fasting for the test should be told

that the test results will be wrong and he may receive a wrong diagnosis.

The medical practitioners told him to fast when coming for a reason and he

forgetting and eating something means the objective for the test may have

been defeated.

This is why it's best to explain to him about the consequences of his actions

which is likely getting a wrong result and diagnosis.
