What are the first four terms if the sequence represented by the expression n (n-1) -4?

1 answer:

5 0

We have that
<span>n (n-1) -4

for n=1
a1=1*(1-1)-4------> a1=-4

for n=2
</span>a2=2*(2-1)-4------> a2=-2

for n=3
a3=3*(3-1)-4------> a3=2

for n=4
a4=4*(4-1)-4------> a4=8

the answer is
-4,-2, 2, 8

A right circular cone is undergoing a transformation in such a way that the radius of the cone is increasing at a rate of 1/2 in

Ivenika [448]

Answer:

The volume is decreasing at the rate of 1.396 cubic inches per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Shape: Cone

$\frac{dr}{dt} =\frac{1}{2}$ --- rate of the radius

$\frac{dh}{dt} =-\frac{1}{3}$ --- rate of the height

$r = 2$

$h = \frac{1}{3}$

Required

Determine the rate of change of the cone volume

The volume of a cone is:

$V = \frac{\pi}{3}r^2h$

Differentiate with respect to time (t)

$\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{\pi}{3}(2rh \frac{dr}{dt} + r^2 \frac{dh}{dt})$

Substitute values for the known variables

$\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{\pi}{3}(2*2*\frac{1}{3}* \frac{1}{2} - 2^2 *\frac{1}{3})$

$\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{\pi}{3}(\frac{4}{3}* \frac{1}{2} - \frac{4}{3})$

$\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{\pi}{3}(\frac{4}{3}(\frac{1}{2} - 1))$

$\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{\pi}{3}(\frac{4}{3}*- 1)$

$\frac{dV}{dt} = -\frac{\pi}{3}*\frac{4}{3}$

$\frac{dV}{dt} = -\frac{22}{7*3}*\frac{4}{3}$

$\frac{dV}{dt} = -\frac{22}{21}*\frac{4}{3}$

$\frac{dV}{dt} = -\frac{88}{63}$

$\frac{dV}{dt} =-1.396in^3/min$

The volume is decreasing at the rate of 1.396 cubic inches per minute

A company sells boxes of duck calls (d) for $35 and boxes of turkey calls (t) for $45. they make batches of duck calls that fill

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

Option A is the correct choice.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d be the number of boxes of duck calls and t be the number of boxes of turkey calls.

We have been given that a company sells boxes of duck calls for $35 and boxes of turkey calls (t) for $45, so the revenue earned from selling d boxes of duck and t boxes of turkey call will be 35d and 45t respectively.

Further, the company plan to make $300. We can represent this information as:

$35d+45t=300...(1)$

We are also told that they make batches of duck calls that fill 6 boxes and batches of turkey calls that fill 8 boxes. the company only has 42 boxes. We can represent this information as:

$6d+8t=42...(2)$
