10 inches. Just multiply 5 by 2.

The value of d is -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of the arithmetic sequence is $u_{n}=u_{1}+(n-1)d$ , where

$u_{1}$ is the first term
d is the common difference between each 2 consecutive terms

The nth term of the geometric sequence is $u_{n}=u_{1}r^{n-1}$ , where

$u_{1}$ is the first term
r is the common ratio between each two consecutive terms $r=\frac{u_{2}}{u_{1}}=\frac{u_{3}}{u_{2}}$

∵ $u_{1}$ of an arithmetic sequence is 1

∵ The common difference is d, where d ≠ 0

∵ $u_{2}$ , $u_{3}$ , $u_{6}$ are the first 3 terms of a geometric sequence

∵ $u_{2}$ = 1 + (2 - 1)d

∴ $u_{2}$ = 1 + d

∵ $u_{3}$ = 1 + (3 - 1)d

∴ $u_{2}$ = 1 + 2d

∵ $u_{6}$ = 1 + (6 - 1)d

∴ $u_{2}$ = 1 + 5d

∴ The first 3 terms of the geometric sequence are (1 + d) , (1 + 2d) ,

(1 + 5d)

∵ The common ratio in the geometric sequence is $r=\frac{u_{2}}{u_{1}}=\frac{u_{3}}{u_{2}}$

∴ $r=\frac{1+2d}{1+d}=\frac{1+5d}{1+2d}$

- Use cross multiplication with the equal fractions

∵ $\frac{1+2d}{1+d}=\frac{1+5d}{1+2d}$

∴ (1 + 2d)(1 + 2d) = (1 + d)(1 + 5d)

∴ 1 + 2d + 2d + 4d² = 1 + 5d + d + 5d²

- Add like terms in each side

∴ 1 + 4d + 4d² = 1 + 6d + 5d²

- Subtract 1 from both sides

∴ 4d + 4d² = 6d + 5d²

- Subtract 4d from both sides

∴ 4d² = 2d + 5d²

- Subtract 4d² from each side

∴ 0 = 2d + d²

- Take d as a common factor

∴ 0 = d(2 + d)

- Equate each factor by 0

∴ d = 0 but we will reject it because d ≠ 0

∴ 2 + d = 0

- Subtract 2 from both sides

∴ d = -2

The value of d is -2

a bee flies at 9 feet per second directly to a flower bed from its hive. the bee stays at the flower bed for 15 minutes then fli

qaws [65]

Answer:

Assuming the question is asking how much time it takes each way, the answer would be 2 minutes from the hive to the flowerbed and 3 minutes back.

Assuming the question is the amount of distance between the hive and the flower bed, the answer is 1080 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

So the total amount of time it was away from the hive was 20 minutes. Out of those 20 minutes, 15 minutes were spent in the flowerbed. So that means travel time was 5 minutes. Now, going is 9 and coming back is 6, so 9+6=15, 5/15=1/3, 1/3*9=3 and 1/3*6=2

Knowing that information, lets solve what the question could be because I have no idea. The amount of distance from the hive to the flower bed is 1080 feet. I got this by doing 9 (the amount of feet per second) times 120 (the amount of seconds in 3 minutes.) You could do this with 6 but I found it easier to multiply 9*120 compared to 6*180.

If it's the commute time, we already solved that.

If I didn't answer the real question, please just comment on this.

A bacteria culture begins with 15 bacteria which double in amount at the end of every hour. How many bacteria are grown during t

elixir [45]

We use P = i•e^rt for exponential population growth, where P = end population, i = initial population, r = rate, and t = time
P = 2•i = 2•15 = 30, so 30 = 15 [e^(r•1)],
or 30/15 = 2 = e^(r)
ln 2 = ln (e^r)
.693 = r•(ln e), ln e = 1, so r = .693
Now that we have our doubling rate of .693, we can use that r and our t as the 12th hour is t=11, because there are 11 more hours at the end of that first hour
So our initial population is again 15, and P = i•e^rt
P = 15•e^(.693×11) = 15•e^(7.624)
P = 15•2046.94 = 30,704
