deff fn [24]3 years ago

Answer: (B) 3 times as fast

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

rate of change is the "slope" between the given interval.

f(x) = 125(.9)ˣ

f(1) = 125(.9)¹

    = 112.5

f(5) = 125(.9)⁵

     = 73.8

\dfrac{f(5) - f(1)}{5 - 1} = \dfrac{73.8-112.5}{5-1} = -\dfrac{38.7}{4} = -9.675

********************

f(11) = 125(.9)¹¹

       = 39.2

f(15) = 125(.9)¹⁵

       = 25.7

\dfrac{f(15) - f(11)}{15 - 11} = \dfrac{39.2-25.7}{15-11} = -\dfrac{13.5}{4} = -3.375

********************

The rate of change from years 1 to 5 is approximately 3 times the rate of change from years 11 to 15.

Is 5.78778777 a rational or irrational number?..
kupik [55]

That number is the ratio of 578,778,777 to 100,000,000 , so it's rational.

Here's a surprising factoid:

ANY number that you can completely write down on paper with digits...
and a decimal point or a fraction bar if you need them ... is rational.

If you can write it down ... without saying "repeating" or using symbols ...
it's rational.

Use explicit formula to find the 10th of each geometric sequence
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

1. 1*9^(10-1) = 387,420,489

2.2*4^(10-1) = 524,288

Step-by-step explanation:

The explicit formula for a geometric sequence is a1 * r^n-1

Where a1 is your first term, r is your ratio, and n is the amount of terms you want in the sequence

To solve for the 10th number in the sequence, we simply plug 10 in for n.

Hope this helps

Hannah is flying a kite with a trying that is 60 feet long. If Patricia is standing directly below the kite and 16 feet away fro
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

74.5°

Step-by-step explanation:

Hannah, the kite and Patricia form the vertices of a right-angled triangle with the hypotenuse side the length of the string L = 60 feet and adjacent side the distance between Hannah and Patricia = d = 16 feet.

Let the angle between the string and the sand be Ф.

By trigonometric ratios,

cosФ = adjacent/hypotenuse

= d/L

= 16 feet/60 feet

= 0.2667

Ф = cos⁻¹(0.2667)

= 74.53°

≅ 74.5°

So, he angle between the string and the sand is Ф = 74.5°
