Answer:

The fifth term is 620

Step-by-step explanation:

y=40×(-2)^(n-1)

The 5th terms means n=5

y = 40 * (-2) ^ (5-1)

= 40 * (-2) ^4

= 40 * (16)

= 640

If a baseball team's ratio of wins to losses is 5 to 4, what is the ratio of wins to total games played?

lara [203]

I believe it's 5 to 9 since out of 9 games they win 5 and lose 4. This doesn't account for draws or anything, though.

If the ratio of the length of segment AC to the length of segment CB is 3:1, what is the y-coordinate of point C?

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

The coordinates of point C are (8,8.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The picture of the question in the attached figure

Let

$(C_x,C_y)$ ----> coordinates of point C

we have that

The horizontal distance AB is equal to

$AB_x=10-2=8\ units$

The vertical distance AB is equal to

$AB_y=10-4=6\ units$

Find the horizontal coordinate of point C

we know that

$\frac{AC}{CB}=\frac{3}{1}$

$\frac{AC_x}{CB_x}=\frac{3}{1}$

$AC_x=3CB_x$ ----> equation A

$AC_x+CB_x=8$ ----> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B

$3CB_x+CB_x=8$

$4CB_x=8\\CB_x=2$

$AC_x=3(2)=6$

The x-coordinate of point C is equal to the x-coordinate of point A plus the horizontal distance between the point A and point C

$C_x=A_x+AC_x=2+6=8$

Find the vertical coordinate of point C

we know that

$\frac{AC}{CB}=\frac{3}{1}$

$\frac{AC_y}{CB_y}=\frac{3}{1}$

$AC_y=3CB_y$ ----> equation A

$AC_y+CB_y=6$ ----> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B

$3CB_y+CB_y=6$

$4CB_y=6\\CB_y=1.5$

$AC_y=3(1.5)=4.5$

The y-coordinate of point C is equal to the y-coordinate of point A plus the vertical distance between the point A and point C

$C_y=A_y+AC_y=4+4.5=8.5$

therefore

The coordinates of point C are (8,8.5)
