Timothy makes reduced copies of a photograph that has an actual length of 8 in. Each time he presses the reduce button on the co

pier, the copy is reduced by 12%. What formula shows the pattern for the size of each copy of the photograph as it is reduced? What is the length of the photograph’s copy if Timothy presses the reduce button 5 times? Round to the nearest tenth.

Answer:

length of the photograph will be 4.2 in. after pressing the button 5 times.

Step-by-step explanation:

By pressing the button, every time size of the photograph gets reduced by 12%.

Therefore, the sequence formed by the reduced sizes of the photo will be a geometric sequence and the formula for the size of the reduced image will be,

L = l(1-\frac{12}{100})^{n}

Where l = Actual length of the photograph

L = length of the reduced image

n = Number of times the button has been pressed

For l = 8 in. and n = 5

L = 8(1-0.12)^{5}

  = 8(0.88)^{5}

  = 4.22 in

L ≈ 4.2 in.

Therefore, length of the photograph will be 4.2 in. after pressing the button 5 times.

Okay so, togo flies 30 miles in 3/5 of an hour with the wind.togo flies 30 miles in 5/6 of an hour against the wind. his rate of speed with the wind was 30 / (3/5) = 30*5/3 = 150/3 = 50 mph.his rate of speed against the wind was 30 / (5/6) = 30*6/5 = 6*6 = 36 mph.3/5 of an hour times 50 mph = 30 miles.
5/6 of an hour times 36 mph = 30 miles.mph looks good.
going he was with the wind.
his rate of speed then was the airplane speed plus the wind speed.coming back he was against the wind.his rate of speed then was the airplane speed minus the wind speed.-----50 mph = A + W36 mph = A - W-----looks like A + W - (A - W) should equal 50 - 36.removing parentheses, equation becomesA + W - A + W = 14.
combining like terms, the equation becomes2*W = 14.dividing both sides by 2, equation becomesW = 7.if W = 7, then A can be found as follows:50 = A + 7A = 43.likewise,36 = A - 7A = 43.since the airplane speed is the same, it looks like the answer is good.solving in the original equations, we get3/5 * (43 + 7) = 303/5 * 50- = 3030 = 30good.-----5/6 * (43 - 7) = 305/6 * 36 = 3030 = 30good.
answer is W = 7 and A = 43.

An airplane flying at attitude of 32,000 feet descends at a rate of 1,300 feet per minute. If the plane descends for 15 minutes,
Furkat [3]
Since the plane descends 1,300 feet per minute it would descend 19,500 feet after 15 minutes (1,300 x 15 = 19,500) Subtract this from the plane's initial altitude 32,000 and the new altitude will be 12,500. (32,000-19,500=12,500)
