If the sequence 1, 6, 7, 13, 20, ... were to follow the same pattern as the Fibonacci sequence, what are the next three terms?

1 answer:

3 0

The Fibonacci sequence is generated by starting with the numbers 0 and 1 (or 1 and 1) and obtaining the next number by adding them together. All successive numbers are the sum of the previous two.

0 + 1 = 1

1 + 1 = 2

1 + 2 = 3

2 + 3 = 5

and so on.

For this sequence, we have

1 + 6 = 7

6 + 7 = 13

7 + 13 = 20

13 + 20 = 33

20 + 33 = 53

33 + 53 = 86

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

4.75 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial height of the ball from the ground = 10 feet

Upward initial velocity given = 55 feet per second

Value of g ( acceleration due to gravity) = 32.2 feet per s²

Motion of the ball:

The ball first goes vertically upwards, gravity decelerates the body and it momentarily comes to rest at a point in its upward trajectory, which is the point of maximum height. From this point, to the ground, the ball behaves as a freely dropped body.

Till the ball reaches its maximum height:

u = + 55

v = 0 ( final velocity is zero)

a = - 32.2 (since it is deceleration)

we know that v = u + at

⇒ 0 = 55 - 32.2t

⇒ t = 1.7 s

Also , we have s = ut + (1/2)at²

Here, s is the maximum height from the point where ball is thrown

So, s = 55(1.7) - (0.5)(32.2)(1.7)(1.7)

⇒ s = 140 feet

So at a height of 140 feet + 10 feet (initial height) = 150 feet, the ball acts as a freely dropped body.

Here, u = 0

a = +32.2

s= 150

s = ut + (1/2)at²

⇒ 150 = 0.5 ( 32.2) (t²)

⇒ t² = 300/32.2 = 9.31

⇒ t = 3.05 sec

So total time = 1.7 + 3.05 = 4.75 seconds

which statements about the system are true? check all that apply. y = x – 4 3y – x = –7 the system has one solution. the system

Dmitrij [34]

The slope of the first equation has a slope of one and a y intercept of -4. The second equation has a y intercept of -2.3333 as seen when plugging in 0 for x, so the same y-intercept and same line are out of the question. This means either they have the same slope and thus are parallel or intersect at some point. A simple way to find out? Plug in 1 for x on the second. If it isn't -1.33333, which is a slope of positive 1 such as in the first equation, they WILL INTERSECT somewhere. When plugging in 1, we get
3y - 1 = -7
3y = -6
y = -2
(1, -2) is the next point after (0, -2.3333)
That means it is most certainly not the same slope, and thus they will intersect at some point. The two slopes are 1/1 and 1/3 if you weren't aware.

vaieri [72.5K]

For this case, the arithmetic sequence is given by:
an = 17n-1
Let's check it:
First week:
n = 1:
a1 = 17 (1) -1
a1 = 17-1
a1 = 16
Second week:
n = 2:
a2 = 17 (2) -1
a2 = 34-1
a2 = 33
Third week:
n = 3:
a3 = 17 (3) -1
a3 = 51-1
a3 = 50
Answer:
the explicit rule for the arithmetic sequence that defines the number of boxes of cereal sold in week n is:
an = 17n-1

The line a bus arrives at the bus stop every 25 minutes, and the line b bus arrives every 15 minutes.Both are at the stop right

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

after 75 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The least common multiple (LCM) of 15 and 25 is 75. It can be found a couple of ways:

1. List the factors of each number and find the product of the unique ones:

15 = 3·5

25 = 5²

The LCM is 3·5² = 75.

2. Find the greatest common divisor (GCD) and divide the product of the numbers by that value. From the above list of factors, we see that 5 is the GCD of 15 and 25. Then the LCM is ...

15·25/5 = 75

Or, you can simply list multiples of each number and see what the smallest number is that is in both lists:

15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90

25, 50, 75, 100

The two buses will appear together again after 75 minutes.
