You bike 1 mile the first day of your training, 1.3 miles the second day, 1.9 miles the third day, and 3.1 miles the fourth d

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

19.9 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem we have:

$d_1=1 mi$ is the distance travelled during the 1st day

$d_2=1.3 mi$ is the distance travelled during the 2nd day

$d_3=1.9 mi$ is the distance travelled during the 3rd day

$d_4=3.1 mi$ is the distance travelled during the 4th day

We notice that the difference between the distance travelled on the (n+1)-th day and the distance travelled on the n-th day doubles every day. In fact:

$d_2-d_1=0.3\\d_3-d_2=2\cdot 0.3 = 0.6\\d_4-d_3=2\cdot 0.6 = 1.2$

Which can be rewritten using the general formula:

$d_{n+1}-d_n=2(d_n-d_{n-1})$

This means that

$d_{n+1}=d_n+2(d_n-d_{n-1})$

By applying this formula recursively, we can find the 7th term, which is the distance travelled on the 7th day:

$d_1=1\\d_2=1.3\\d_3=1.9\\d_4=3.1\\d_5=3.1+2\cdot 1.2=5.5\\d_6=5.5+2\cdot 2.4=10.3\\d_7=10.3+2\cdot 4.8=19.9 mi$

So, the distance travelled on the 7th day is 19.9 miles.

A scientist counts 25 bacteria present in a culture and finds that the number of bacteria triples each hour. The function y = 25

Anvisha [2.4K]

$y = 25\cdot~3^x\\ \\ 1170 = 25\cdot~3^x\\ \\ \frac{1170}{25} = 3^x\\ \\ \frac{243}{5} = 3^x\\ \\ log\ \frac{243}{5} = log~3^x\\ \\ log~243-log~5=x~log~3\\ \\ 
 log~3^5-log~5=x~log~3\\ \\ 5~log~3-log~5 = x~log~3\\ \\ 5(0,48)-0,70= 0,48x\\ \\ 2,4-0,7 = 0,48x\\ \\ 1,7=0,48x\\ \\ x=\frac{1,7}{0,48}\\ \\ \large{\boxed{x=3,54\ h}}$

Find m angle TUV if m angle TUN=1+38 pi m angle NUV=66^ m angle TUV=105x

ipn [44]

Answer:

m∠TUV = 105

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

m∠TUN = 1 + 38x

m∠NUV = 66°

m∠TUV = 105x

m∠TUV =?

Next, we shall determine the value of x. This can be obtained as illustrated below:

m∠TUV = m∠TUN + m∠NUV

105x = (1 + 38x) + 66

105x = 1 + 38x + 66

Collect like terms

105x – 38x = 1 + 66

67x = 67

Divide both side by 67

x = 67 / 67

x = 1

Finally, we shall determine the value of m∠TUV. This can be obtained as shown below:

m∠TUV = 105x

x = 1

m∠TUV = 105(1)

m∠TUV = 105

The length of a side of a square field is 48m.Find the cost of ploughing the field at the rate of rs 25/m and cost of fencing th

brilliants [131]

Answer: rs 4800, rs 3456

Step-by-step explanation:j

given data:

length of a sid = 48m

cost of ploughing the field = rs 25/m

cost of fencing the field = rs 18/m

solution:

we know a square has four equal sides. so total length of the field is

= m ( 48 + 48 +48 + 48 )

= 192m

cost of ploughing the field

= 192m * rs 25

= rs 4800

cos of fencing the field

= 192m * rs 18

= rs 3456
