Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the described rule, we have

a_1=7\\ \\a_1^2=7^2=49\Rightarrow a_2=4+9+1=14\\ \\a_2^2=14^2=196\Rightarrow a_3=1+9+6+1=17\\ \\a_3^2=17^2=289\Rightarrow a_4=2+8+9+1=20\\ \\a_4^2=20^2=400\Rightarrow a_5=4+0+0+1=5\\ \\a_5^2=5^2=25\Rightarrow a_6=2+5+1=8\\ \\a_6^2=8^2=64\Rightarrow a_7=6+4+1=11\\ \\a_7^2=11^2=121\Rightarrow a_8=1+2+1+1=5\\ \\\text{and so on...}

We can see the pattern

a_5=a_8=a_{11}=a_{14}=...=5\\ \\a_6=a_9=a_{12}=a_{15}=...=8\\ \\a_7=a_{10}=a_{13}=a_{16}=...=11

In other words, for all k\ge 2

a_{3k-1}=5\\ \\a_{3k}=8\\ \\a_{3k+1}=11

Now,

a_{2018}=a_{3\cdot 673-1}=5

A candle maker adds lemon oil to wax to make the lemon-scented candle shown. How many ounces of oil will he need for the candle
liraira [26]

Answer:

The ounces of oil needed is 5 ounces of oil

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing to do here is to calculate the volume of the lemon-scented candle given.

Looking at shape the volume can be calculated using the formula L * B * H

where L(length) = 10cm , B(breadth) = 8cm and Height(h) = 25cm

The volume V is thus = 10 * 8 * 25 = 2,000 cm^3

The ounces of oil needed for the candle to have 0.0025 ounces of oil per cm^3 of wax will be = The volume of the lemon-scented candle * 0.0025 ounces of oil per cm^3 of wax

That will be = 0.0025 * 2,000 = 5 ounces

I will mark the Best or first answer as brainliest.
Vlada [557]

It is between 3.1 and 3.17 or 3.2 if you want it by hundredths.

This is because 3.16 is 3.1600000 and many more zeros but 3.16227766 is slightly over that so it would be between 3.1 and 3.17.
