Answer:
I will let it lead me down the paths ahead of me. I never in my life thought that Dylan McKay would be a major influence on my growth as a person. But that's the way it seems to be going right now. So wish me luck, and may the bridges I've burned light the way.
this is not that long but I tried
Step-by-step explanation:
the introduction of a fraction tells us that we are dealing with multiplications, and therefore a geometric sequence (where every new term is created by multiplying the previous term by a constant factor, the ratio r).
I think your teacher made a mistake, or you made one when typing the question in here.
there is no factor r that creates
15×r = 9
and
9×r = 5/27
it would mean that
15 × r² = 5/27
r² = 5/27 / 15 = 5/27 × 1/15 = 5/405 = 1/81
r = 1/9
but 15 × 1/9 = 5 × 1/3 = 5/3 is NOT 9
and 9 × 1/9 = 9/9 = 1 is NOT 5/27
so, this can't be right.
on the other hand
15 × r = 9
r = 9/15 = 3/5
and then
9 × 3/5 = 27/5
so, either the sequence should have been
15, 5/3, 5/27
or (and I suspect this to be true)
15, 9, 27/5
under that assumption we have
s1 = 15
r = 3/5
sn = sn-1 × r = s1 × r^(n-1) = 15 × (3/5)^(n-1)
s10 = 15 × (3/5)⁹ = 15 × 19683/1953125 =
= 3 × 19683/390625 = 59049/390625 =
= 0.15116544 ≈ 0.151
Answer:
-3.5
The distance Rachel covers per hour is 3.5 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
After 2 hours, she is 13 miles from the campground.
After 4 hours, she is 6 miles from the campground.
Let x be the number of hours, y be the number of miles from the campground, then we have two points (2,13) and (4,6).
The equation of the line passing through the points 
and 
is
Substitute:
Hence,
The slope of the line is 
and it represents that the distance Rachel covers per hour is 3.5 miles.
Each pallet of cement weighs 303.5 pounds. You just have to divide 4,856 by 16
Pi is a irrational number.
HOPE THIS HELPS! ^_^
