QUESTION

Mathematics

1. For this item we just refer to the prompt to know the conjectures of Ernest and Denise. According to Ernest, they should swim 1 kilometer on the first week then add 0.25km every week while Denise believes that they should swim 1 kilometer on the first week then add 0.5km every week.

2. Yes, these distances make an arithmetic sequence. It's because an arithmetic sequence is defined as a group of increasing or decreasing numbers where the difference between any two consecutive numbers is constant. This just means that every number has the same interval. In the case of their schedule, this is true.

3. For this item we just follow the descriptions of Ernest's and Denise's schedule in item number 1. For Ernest, we just keep adding 0.25 from 1 kilometer until we added it thrice. For Denise, we also keep adding a number thrice but this time it's 0.5 instead of 0.25.

Ernest's Schedule: 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75
Denise's Schedule: 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5

4. Here we are asked to determine a formula that will describe the schedules of Ernest and Denise. In the given formula a_{n}= a_{n-1}+d, a_{n} refers to the next term in the sequence, a_{n-1} refers to the previous term, while d refers to the common difference. In the recursive formula all we need is to insert the value of d to the equations.

Ernest: a_{n}= a_{n-1}+0.25
Denise: a_{n}= a_{n-1}+0.5

5. For this item we basically do the same thing but this time we are given another formula. Our formula is in the form a_{n}= a_{1}+(n-1)d where a_{n} is still the nth term of the sequence, a_{1} is the very first time, n is the number of terms, and d is the common difference. 

Ernest: a_{n}= 1.0+0.25(n-1)
Denise: a_{n}= 1.0+0.5(n-1)

6. In this item we will just basically substitute numbers to one of the equations that we've set up in item #5. For this we need Ernest's explicit formula first. To know how far they will be swimming on week 10, the number of elements (n) must be 10.

a_{10}= 1.0+0.25(10-1)
a_{10}= 1.0+0.25(9)
a_{10}= 1.0+2.25
a_{10}= 3.25

7. Here, we just do the same thing as item #6 but this time we will consider Denise's explicit formula. Since we are also asked how far the students will be swimming on week 10, the number of elements would also be 10 and this would also be our value for n.

a_{10}= 1.0+0.5(10-1)
a_{10}= 1.0+0.5(9)
a_{10}= 1.0+4.5
a_{10}= 5.5

8. The answer for this question is obvious. You would just need to look at the 10th element in Ernest's and Denise's sequences and tell whose schedule had more than or equal to 5 as an answer. Following Ernest's schedule, you will just get 3.5 kilometers on the 10th week so it's definitely a no. Denise's schedule, on the other hand, would get you to 5.5 kilometers on week 10 so her training schedule should be followed.

What is the approximate perimeter of a rhombus with the diagonals that measure 12 feet and 18 feet
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

The perimeter of a rhombus with diagonals of 12 feet and 18 feet would be 60 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rhombus: S1 + S2 + S3 + S4 = answer. (S stands for side.)

12 ft. + 18 ft. + 12 ft. + 18 ft. = 60 ft.

Make up a story to go with the graph. You can refer to the line segments by color or number.
9966 [12]
First, Joe started the water and it was at full force. He filled it up to 9 inches. It took him 2 minutes to get to 9 inches. Then, he stopped it for 2 minutes because his mom called him to get a bar of soap. The water level was still at 9 inches when he stopped it. Then, he put the water to come down slowly because he wasn’t sure how much more he needed. He let the water go for 2 minutes. Then, he stopped the water when it was at 12 inches of water. He sat in the bath for 5 minutes until he decided he was to cold so he hopped out. The water then drained really fast. From 12 inches to 0 inches it took the bath 3 minutes.

Which expression is equivalent to:1/m6
Valentin [98]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

6 is a power. So both C and D are wrong because 6 is being treated as an ordinary integer.

So the answer must be either A or B.

B is not correct because to move an expression from the denominator to the numerator changes the sign in the base (which is m in this  question).

A is correct. the power is changed from 6 in the denominator to -6 in the numerator. m is shifted to the numerator as well.
