Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

This type of sequence is called geometric and the number you multiply by is called the common ratio.

For example: the sequence  1, 2, 4, 8 - each term is multiplied by the common ratio(2)  to get the next term. 1 *2 = 2, 2 *2 = 4, 4*2 = 8  and so on,

Answer:

common ratio

Step-by-step explanation:

When you have a geometric sequence

an = a1 r^(n-1)

The term r is call the common ratio, which is the number we are multiplying by each time

Help me find the solution set for 8x-3=2(x-1/2)
daser333 [38]
8x -3 = 2(x-1/2)
⇒ 8x -3= 2x -2*(1/2)
⇒ 8x -3 = 2x -1
⇒ 8x -2x= -1+ 3
⇒ 6x = 2
⇒ x= 2/6
⇒ x= 1/3

The final answer is x= 1/3~

A golfer takes two putts to get the ball into the hole. The first putt rolls the ball 10.3 feet in the northwest direction and t
creativ13 [48]

Let's put this on the usual Cartesian grid just so we can talk about it without drawing a picture.  We'll use map conventions, right is east, up is north.

The ball starts at (0,0).   10.3 feet northwest means we have an isosceles right triangle whose diagonal is 10.3 feet.  It's isosceles because northwest means equal parts north and west.   

The sides of these triangles are in ratio 1:1:\sqrt{2} so the coordinates after the first putt are

(- 10.3 / \sqrt{2}, 10.3 / \sqrt{2})

The negative sign indicates west, which doesn't really matter for this problem.  The distance from the origin to this point is 10.3 as required.

Now a second putt of 3.8 feet north puts us at
 
(- 10.3 / \sqrt{2}, 10.3 / \sqrt{2} + 3.8)

The squared distance to the origin is exactly

d^2 = 10.3^2/2 + (10.3 / \sqrt{2} + 3.8)^2

A little calculator work tells us

d \approx 13.2621

Third choice.

The highest scorer of the women's basketball championship was Jessica Bradley. She scored 114 more points than Tina Harner, her
Harman [31]

THIS IS AN EXAMPLE:

Answer: Bradley scored 854 points and Harner scored 748 points.

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by representing the problem mathematically.  "B" will represent Bradley's score, and "H" will represent Harner's score.

B+H=1602 represents that the sum of the scores is 1602.

B-H=106 represents that Bradley has 106 more points than Harner.

Now, combine the like terms in the two equations to get 2B=1708 .  Now divide each side by two to find that Bradley scored 854 points.

Now, we can just subtract Bradley's score from the total score to get Harner's score.  1602-854=748, so Harner scored 748 points.
