Answer:

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The common ratio of a geometric sequence is the number that is multiplied to get the next term in the sequence.

We can see that the numbers decrease:

32, 8, 2, 1/2, ...

To get from 32 to 8, we would divide by 4.  Dividing is the same as multiplying by a fraction; this means that dividing by 4 is the same as multiplying by 1/4.  Thus 1/4 is the common ratio.

What is x=15 a a function and please explain the process
Vika [28.1K]
<span>Simplifying 15 + 5x = 0 Solving 15 + 5x = 0 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-15' to each side of the equation. 15 + -15 + 5x = 0 + -15 Combine like terms: 15 + -15 = 0 0 + 5x = 0 + -15 5x = 0 + -15 Combine like terms: 0 + -15 = -15 5x = -15 Divide each side by '5'. x = -3 Simplifying x = -3</span>

A train leaves San Diego at 1:00 pm. A second train leaves the same city in the same direction at 3:00 pm. The second train trav
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

The speed of the first train is 45 mph and the speed of the second train is 75 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the speed of the first train in mph. Since the second train, is 30 mph faster then the first, therefore the speed of the second train is (x + 30).

The first train leaves at 1:00 pm, therefore at 6:00 pm, the time taken is 5 hours. Therefore the distance covered by the first train at 6:00 pm = x mph * 5 hours = 5x miles

The second train leaves at 3:00 pm, therefore at 6:00 pm, the time taken is 3 hours. Therefore the distance covered by the second train at 6:00 pm = (x + 30) mph * 3 hours = (3x + 90) miles

Since the second train overtakes the first at 6:00 pm, hence:

3x + 90 = 5x

2x = 90

x = 45

Therefore the speed of the first train is 45 mph and the speed of the second train is 75 mph (45 mph + 30 mph).
