Answer:
The first term of the sequence is -120.
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the "nth" term of a geometric sequence is shown below:
an = a0*r^(n-1)
Where an is the nth term, r is the ratio and n is the position of the term on the sequence. For this problem we want to find what is the initial term, a0, so we will isolate it in the formula as shown below:
a0*r^(n-1) = an
a0 = an/[r^(n-1)]
We then apply the data given to us
a0 = 31.45728/[-0.8^(7-1)]
a0 = 31.45728/[-0.8^6] =31.45728 /-0.262144= -120
The first term of the sequence is -120.
Given:
October: 8 3/8 inches
September : 60% less rain fell than in October.
This means that only 40% rain fell in September based on the amount of rain that fell in October.
8 3/8 ⇒ (8*8)+3/8 = 67/8
40% is 4/10
67/8 * 4/10 = 268/80 = 3 28/80 or 3 7/20 or 3.35
28 ÷ 2 = 14
80 ÷ 2 = 40
14 ÷ 2 = 7
40 ÷ 2 = 20
In September 3 7/20 inches or 3.35 inches of rain fell.
Answer:
is the correct answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that vertex equation of a parabola is given as:

where
is the vertex of the parabola and
are the coordinate of points on parabola.
As per the question statement:
The parabola opens upwards that means coefficient of
is positive.
Let 
Minimum of parabola is at x = 3.
The vertex is at the minimum point of a parabola that opens upwards.

Putting value of a and h in the equation:

Formula used: 
Comparing the equation formulated above with the options given we can observe that the equation formulated above is most similar to option A.
Comparing

Answer:
x = 150°
Step-by-step explanation:
The given parameters are;
AB ║ DC
∠BAE = 105°
∠AEC = 25°
We construct a line CF from C parallel to the line AE as presented in the included diagram created with Microsoft Visio
We have;
∠DCF ≅ ∠BAE = 105° by similar angles formed by two pairs of parallel lines
∠AEC = ∠ECF = 25° by alternate interior angles formed by two parallel lines and a common transversal
x = 125° + 25° = 150° By angle addition postulate
x = 150°.
