PLEASE HELP DUE IN LESS THAN 5 WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!!!!!!!!!!

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

1. 1:4

2. y = 4 x X

3. yes

Step-by-step explanation:

1. every 1 minuet he cleans 4 shrimp

2. y is the number of shrimp and x is the time. if every miuet he cleans 4 shrimp, then that means you have to multiply the shrimp by the minuets. for example, if he spends 2 minuets, he cleans 8 shrimp because 2 x 4 = 8.

3. This is a proportional relationship because if you were to put this on a graph, it would be a strait line. for example, if you were to plot x (the time) on a line (this line would go horizontal) and y (shrimp) on the line (this line goes verticle) 1 minuet = 4 shrimp. 2 minuets = 8 shrimp. 3 minuets = 12 shrimp. 4 minuets = 16 shrimp.

i hope this helps. tell me if this is too confusing or if you need more help. have a great day :)

Find the 12th term of the geometric sequence 5, -25, 125, ...5,−25,125,...

katovenus [111]

Answer:

$a_{12}=-244140625$

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the geometric sequence

$5,-25,\:125,\:...$

$a_1=5$

As the common ratio ' $r$ ' between consecutive terms is constant.

$\mathrm{Compute\:the\:ratios\:of\:all\:the\:adjacent\:terms}:\quad \:r=\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}$

$r=\frac{-25}{5}=-5$

$r=\frac{125}{-25}=-5$

The general term of a geometric sequence is given by the formula:

$a_n=a_1\cdot \:r^{n-1}$

where $a_1$ is the initial term and $r$ the common ratio.

Putting $n = 12$ , $r = -5$ and $a_1=5$ in the general term of a geometric sequence to determine the 12th term of the sequence.

$a_n=a_1\cdot \:r^{n-1}$

$a_n=5\left(-5\right)^{n-1}$

$a_{12}=5\left(-5\right)^{12-1}$

$=5\left(-5^{11}\right)$

$\mathrm{Remove\:parentheses}:\quad \left(-a\right)=-a$

$=-5\cdot \:5^{11}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:exponent\:rule}:\quad \:a^b\cdot \:a^c=a^{b+c}$

$=-5^{1+11}$ ∵ $5\cdot \:5^{11}=\:5^{1+11}$

$=-244140625$

Therefore,

$a_{12}=-244140625$

What are the exact solutions of x2 − 5x − 1 = 0 using x equals negative b plus or minus the square root of the quantity b square

geniusboy [140]

Answer:

$x=2.5+\frac{\sqrt{29}}{2}\\\\x=2.5-\frac{\sqrt{29}}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

So the question here is asking you to use the quadratic formula which is expressed as: $x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\$

A quadratic can generally be expressed as: $y=ax^2+bx+c$

So using the equation you gave: $0=x^2-5x-1$

We can identify the following values: a=1, b=-5, c=-1

Btw the equation explicitly write "1" as the coefficient of x, but since it's not provided it's implied that it's 1.

So plugging in the known values, we get the following equation:

$x=\frac{5\pm\sqrt{(-5)^2-4(1)(-1)}}{2(1)}\\\\x=\frac{5\pm\sqrt{25+4}}{2}\\\\x=\frac{5\pm\sqrt{29}}{2}\\\\x=2.5+\frac{\sqrt{29}}{2}\\\\x=2.5-\frac{\sqrt{29}}{2}$

The last step just consists of taking the + and - solution, and since it asks for exact solutions you leave the 29 under the radical, and you don't approximate. There is no further simplification that can be done here.
