A pole-vaulter uses a 15-foot-long pile. She grips the pole so that the segment below her left hand is twice the length of the s

egment above her left hand. Her right hand grips the pole 1.5 above her left hand. How far up the pole is her right hand?

Let x + 1.5 be length of segment above left hand
Let 2x be length of segment below left hand

15 = x + 1.5 + 2x
15 = 3x + 1.5
15 - 1.5 = 3x
13.5 = 3x
13.5/3= 3x/3 
4.5 = x
x = 4.5
This is the length above the left hand. 

2x must be then 4.5*2 = 9 foot
This is the length below the left hand. 

Checking
4.5 + 9 + 1.5 = 15 foot 

Adding length below left hand & length of left hand to right hand:
9 + 1.5 = 10.5
The right hand is hence 10.5 foot far up the pole.

Which of the following sequences are not geometric? (check all that apply) a. 2,10,50,250,1250 b. 1,4,9,16,25,36 c. -4,-2,-1,-0.
Romashka [77]
A is geometric because each number is multiplied by 5.

B is not geometric because it is an arithmetic sequence. 

C is a geometric sequence because each number is divided by 2.

D is neither geometric not arithmetic because there is no common ratio and there is not a pattern being added or subtracted to each number.

So, your answer should be B and D.

M is proportional to the cube of r. when r=3m,m=216.when r=5 find the value of m
klio [65]

Answer:

The value of m is 1000 for r=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that m is proportional to the cube of r

It can be written as:

m \propto\ r^3

When the proportionality symbol is removed a proportionality constant is introduced in the equation.

Let k be the proportionality constant

m = kr^3

Given

r=3,m=216

Putting the values

216 = k(3)^3\\216 = k * 27\\k = \frac{216}{27}\\k = 8

The equation will now become

m = 8r^3

Putting r = 5

m = 8(5)^3\\m = 8 * 125\\m = 1000

Hence,

The value of m is 1000 for r=5
