Let t = number of hours
The first candle starts at 8 inches.
It burns at 7/10 inch per hour, so in t hours it burns (7/10)t inches.
After t hours, its length is 8 - (7/10)t
The second candle starts at 6 inches.
It burns at 1/5 inch per hour, so in t hours it burns (1/5)t inches.
After t hours, its length is 6 - (1/5)t
You want the lengths to be equal, so the equation is
8 - (7/10)t = 6 - (1/5)t
Answer:
common ratio=0.5, a1= 0.08
Step-by-step explanation:
r=a3/a2
r=a4/a3
compare both we get:
a3/a2=a4/a3
subtitute a2=0.04 and a4=1
a3/0.04=1/a3
(a3)^2=0.04*1
(a3)^2=0.04
taking square root in both sides
a3=0.02
For r, r=a3/a2
subtitute a3 and a2 above
r=0.02/0.04
r=0.5 common ratio
For a1
r=a2/a1
0.5=0.04/a1
a1=0.04/0.5
a1=0.08
Answer:
a/c and d/e are equal to cos(b)
Step-by-step explanation:
i used substitute and solve at first, but that didnt work too well so i moved on to the guess and check method.
my guess is a/c and d/e are equal to cos(b), can anyone check this?
