a_5=ra_4=r^2a_3=r^3a_2
2304=-36r^3\implies r=-4

Since a_2=ra_1\implies -36=-4a_1\implies a_1=9, the sequence takes the form

a_n=(-4)^{n-1}a_1=9(-4)^{n-1}

The Opera House sells an average of 1,700 tickets per night when the price of each ticket is $25. An employee of the Opera House
irakobra [83]
So here's the solution to the problem:

Calculate the average sell:

1,700 * $25 = $42,500 (revenue)

And if the Opera House wants to increase their revenue:

The price of a ticket will be:

$25 - x (where x is the number of 1-dollar decreases)

The number of tickets in total:

1,700 + 200x

Therefore the equation is:

(1,700 +200x) * ( 25 - x ) = 55,000

We can also solve this equation, but the solutions are not whole numbers.

x 1 = 5.89 and x 2 =10.6

For x = 6 (6 times 1 - dollar decreases):

( 1,700 + 200 * 6 ) * ( 25 - 6 ) = ( 1,700 + 1,200 ) * 18

=2,900 *19 = 55,100 (we will yield the revenue over $55,000)

The time it takes to fly from Los Angeles to New York varies inversely as the speed of the plane. If
makvit [3.9K]

Answer: speed is  540 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:   Lets mark speed as v.

Because distenace is same, you can mark   6 h · 900 km/h = 10 h · v

and v = 5400 km / 10 h = 540 km/h.

Or using inverse proportions :   10 h / 6 h  =  v / 900 km/h  .

Before multiplying you turn lastproportion around :

10 h / 6 h = 600 km/ h / v   ,which gives   10 v = 6 · 900 km/h

and result is same

Write the equation in point slope form that describes the line given by the two points (2,1) and (2,-2) are on a line. then conv
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer: There is no way we can find the point slope form of two points together since only one point is needed for point slope.


Step-by-step explanation:  However the slope of these two points is undefined which means not even a slope-intercept equation would be possible for these two points.

Hope this helps!

A. There is a positive correlation between the temperature and the amount of ice cream sold. This means that as the temperature increases the amount of ice cream also increases.

B. For the best fit you must calculate the slope between two points that are more-or-less representative of the entire graph.  In this case it seems to have already done this with certain points so if you take the points (15,35) and (0,5) you can calculate the slope between these two points which is m=(35-5)/(15-0)=30/15=2.  So the best fit slope for this particular case would be two and you would just draw a line through the graph at approximately the middle of the dots to best represent all of the data.

and the y-intercept is 5 so the approximate equation for the graph would be y=2x+5
