The numbers of teams remaining in each round of a single-elimination tennis tournament represent a geometric sequence where an i
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

a_n = 128\bigg(\dfrac{1}{2}\bigg)^{n-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

The numbers of teams remaining in each round follows a geometric sequence.

Let a be the first the of the geometric sequence and r be the common ration.

The n^{th} term of geometric sequence is given by:

a_n = ar^{n-1}

a_4 = 16 = ar^3\\a_6 = 4 = ar^5

Dividing the two equations, we get,

\dfrac{16}{4} = \dfrac{ar^3}{ar^5}\\\\4}=\dfrac{1}{r^2}\\\\\Rightarrow r^2 = \dfrac{1}{4}\\\Rightarrow r = \dfrac{1}{2}

the first term can be calculated as:

16=a(\dfrac{1}{2})^3\\\\a = 16\times 6\\a = 128

Thus, the required geometric sequence is

a_n = 128\bigg(\dfrac{1}{2}\bigg)^{n-1}

Emma is playing miniature golf. Her ball is 2 feet to the left of the right-hand wall. The hole is 4 feet to the left of the wal
NISA [10]

Answer:

<u></u>

  • <u>She should aim 6 feet down the wall</u>

Explanation:

The diagram attached sketches the situtation.

Since the angle with which the ball hits the wall is the same with which it bounces, angle β is the same for the two shown triangles.

Then, since both are right triangles, then all the angles are congruent and the triangles are similar. Hence, you can equal the ratios of the sides, to make an equation:

  • x/4 = y/2 ⇒ x = 2y

You have other equation:

  • x+ y = 18

Substitute

  • 2y + y = 18
  • 3y = 18
  • y = 18/3
  • y = 6 ← this is the distance down the wall where the ball should hit

  • x = 2(6) = 12

Then, she should aim 6 feet down the wall.

Drag the tiles to the boxes to form correct pairs. Not all tiles will be used. A car repair center services 920 cars in 2012. Th
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

N = 920(1+0.03)^4t

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given statement a car repair center services 920 cars in 2012. The number of cars serviced increases quarterly at a rate of 12% per year after 2012.

Rate is 12 % annually

rate in quarterly = 12/4= 3%

We will apply the compound interest equation:

N=P( 1+r/n)^nt

N= ending number of cars serviced.

P=  the number of cars serviced in 2012,

r = interest rate

n = the number of compoundings per year

t= total number of years.

Number of compoundings for t years = n*t = 4t

Initial number of cars serviced=920

The quarterly rate of growth = n=4

r = 3%

The growth rate = 1.03

Compound period multiplied by number of years = 920(1.03)^4t

Thus N = 920(1+0.03)^4t

N = number of cars serviced after t years...
