For a Geometric sequence:
a n = a ( n-1 ) * r
In this case: a 1 = 30
a 2 = 30 * 1/2 = 15
a 3 = 15 * 1/2 = 7.5
a 4 = 7.5 * 1/2 = 3.75 = 3 3/4
Answer: The value of the fourth term is 3.75 or 3 3/4.

Calculate the value of x. Roundto nearest tenth<br> A=29.7<br> B=6.3<br> C=0.2<br> D=14.5
lidiya [134]
B. 6.3 Because, for a triangle, you can use the angles to figure out the length. You can also tell that it can’t be D or A because it’s not longer than the base and it’s not small enough to be C.

The function h(x) = 1/2 (x+3)2 +2. How is the graph of the h(x) translated from the parent graph of a quadratic function, F(x) =
Natali5045456 [20]
For this case, the parent function is given by:
 F (x) = x ^ 2&#10;
 We apply the following function transformation:
 Vertical compressions:
 To graph y = a * f (x)
 If 0 <a <1, the graph of y = f (x) is compressed vertically by a factor a. (Shrinks)
 We have then:
 y = (1/2) * x ^ 2&#10;
 Horizontal translations:
 Suppose that h> 0
 To graph y = f (x + h), move the graph of h units to the left.
 We have then:
 y = (1/2) * (x + 3) ^ 2&#10;
 Vertical translations:
 Suppose that k> 0
 To graph y = f (x) + k, move the graph of k units up.
 We have then:
 h (x) = (1/2) * (x + 3) ^ 2 + 2&#10;
 Answer:
 
Vertical compression by factor of 1/2. Horizontal displacement 3 units to the left. Vertical displacement 2 units up.

An animal feed to be mixed from soybean meal and oats must contain at least 168 lb of protein, 27 lb of fat, and 14 lb of minera
atroni [7]

Answer:

The animal farm should buy 1.775 bags of soybeans and 1.575 bags of oats

Cost = 51.275

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters can be summarized as:

\begin{array}{cccc}{} & {x} & {y} & {Total} & {Protein} & {70} & {21} & {168} &{Fats}& {9} & {7} & {27} & {Minerals} & {7} & {1} & {14}& {Cost} & {21} & {7} & {} \ \end{array}

Where: x = Soybeans and y = Oats.

So, the system of equations are:

70x + 21y = 168

9x +7y = 27

7x + y = 14

Cost = 21x + 7y

The best way to solve this, is using graph

Plot the following equations on a graph, and get the points of intersection:

70x + 21y = 168

9x +7y = 27

7x + y = 14

From the attached graph, we have:

(x_1,y_1) = (1.636,2.545)

(x_2,y_2) = (1.775,1.575)

(x_3,y_3) = (2.023,1.256)

Substitute each of the values of x's and y's in the cost function to get the minimum cost:

Cost = 21x + 7y

(x_1,y_1) = (1.636,2.545)

Cost = 21 * 1.636 + 7 * 2.545

Cost = 52.171

(x_2,y_2) = (1.775,1.575)

Cost = 21 * 1.775 + 7 * 1.575

Cost = 48.3

(x_3,y_3) = (2.023,1.256)

Cost = 21 * 2.023 + 7 * 1.256

Cost = 51.275

The values of x and y that gives the minimum cost is:

(x_2,y_2) = (1.775,1.575)

and the minimum cost is:

Cost = 48.3

Hence, the animal farm should buy 1.775 bags of soybeans and 1.575 bags of oats
