Answer:
What ?
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
7
Step-by-step explanation:
"a certain whole number" is a number that we don't know, so pick a variable, let's use n
"Twice" means two times, so we'll use 2n for this.
"subtracted from" means the 2n will be AFTER the minus sign.
____ - 2n
What goes in front? "3 times the square of the number" 3n^2
Now we have 3n^2 - 2n
Lastly, we see the result is 133. So this gives us:
3n^2 - 2n = 133 To solve, subtract 133 from both sides of the equation.
3n^2 -2n - 133 = 0 Next FACTOR.
(3n + 19)(n - 7) = 0
3n+19=0 and n-7=0
n=-19/3 and n=7
Since we are looking for a whole number choose n=7

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Geometric Sequence</u>
In geometric sequences, each term is found by multiplying (or dividing) the previous term by a fixed number, called the common ratio.
We are given the sequence:
48, 72, 108, ...
The common ratio is found by dividing the second term by the first term:

To ensure this is a geometric sequence, we use the ratio just calculated to find the third term a3=72*1.5=108.
Now we are sure this is a geometric sequence, we use the general term formula:

Where a1=48 and r=1.5

For example, to find the 5th term:

Answer:
SA= 902.88 yd²
V = 1386.24 yd³
Step-by-step explanation:
Surface area
Since the bases are right triangles, you need to find the base of the triangle. Use Pythagorean theorem as you are given the hypotenuse and one leg.
19² = 15.2² + b²
361 = 231.04 + b²
Subtract 231.04 from both sides
b² = 129.96
Root that
b = 11.4
Now that you have the base, find the areas of the triangles and rectangles.
<em>Triangles</em> - (15.2*11.4)1/2 (2)
15.2*11.4 = 173.28
<em>Rectangles </em>- (15.2)(16) = 243.2
(16)(11.4) = 182.4
(16)(19) = 304
Add them all together and the SA equals 902.88 yd²
Volume
V = Bh
V = 1/2(15.2)(11.4)(16)
V = 1/2 (2772.48)
V = 1386.24 yd³
