brainly Chase has been playing a game where he can create towns and help his empire expand. Each town he has allows him to creat

e 1.13 times as many villagers as he had in the one before. The game gave Chase 4 villagers to start with. Explain to Chase how to create an equation to predict the number of villagers in any specific town. Then show how to use your equation to solve for the number of villagers he can create to live in his 17th town.

Answer:

U_n=4 X 1.13^{n-1}

U_{17}=28

Step-by-step explanation:

Since each town he has allows him to create 1.13 times as many villagers as he had in the one before.

The population of the next village will be a multiplication of the population of the previous village by 1.13.

This forms a sequence in which the next term is obtained by multiplication of the previous term by a constant. This type of sequence us called a Geometric Sequence and the constant is called the Common ratio.

For any number of terms, the nth term of a Geometric Progression is determined using the formula:

U_n=ar^{n-1}

Where a= First Term

r= common ratio

n= number of terms

The game gave Chase 4 villagers to start with.

Therefore, his first term a=4

The common ratio, r= 1.13

To predict the number of villagers in any specific town, we use the formula:

U_n=4 X 1.13^{n-1}

In the 17th town, i.e. n=17

The number of villagers that can be created will be found by substituting n=17 into the formula above.

U_{17}=4 X 1.13^{17-1}

=4 X 1.13^{16}

=28.27

Since number of villagers cannot be fractional, the number of villagers he can create to live in the 17th village is 28.

Answer:

Area of ΔDEF = 12 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Since they are similar, we have to find the scale factor

Scale Factor = \frac{Side OfDilated Triangle}{Side of Original Triangle}

Scale Factor = 4/2

Scale Factor = 2

<u><em>This means The area of ΔABC is 2 times the area of ΔDEF</em></u>

So,

ΔABC = 2(ΔDEF)

Where Area of ΔABC = 24 in²

24 = 2(ΔDEF)

Dividing both sides by 2

=> Area of ΔDEF = 12 in²

1/2x+1/3y=5 and 1/4x+y=10 solve this system by substitution
qaws [65]

Answer:

  (x, y) = (4, 9)

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use the second equation to write an expression for y.

  y = 10 - 1/4x . . . . subtract 1/4x from the given 2nd equation

Now, substitute that for y in the first equation:

  1/2x + 1/3(10 -1/4x) = 5

  1/2x + 10/3 -1/12x = 5 . . . . eliminate parentheses

You can work this a couple of ways from here. One is to multiply by 12 to eliminate fractions. Another is to work with the numbers as they are. We'll do that, because we don't get enough practice doing arithmetic with fractions.

  5/12x = 5/3 . . . . . subtract 10/3

  x = (5/3)/(5/12) = 12/3 = 4

From above, we can use our expression for y:

  y = 10 - 1/4·4 = 9

The solution is (x, y) = (4, 9).

Answer:

21 3/4 - 13 1/8 = 8 5/8 ft longer

Step-by-step explanation:

We subtract the blue rope from the green rope

21 3/4 - 13 1/8

We need to get a common denominator of 8

21 3/4*2/2 - 13 1/8

21 6/8 - 13 1/8

8 5/8

Since it arrived at a safari park, a giraffe's height has increased from 8 <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%
romanna [79]
It's A.

8 1/2 ÷12 3/4 × 100 = 66.66667%
100% - 66.66667% = 33.33333%

This wasn't an option, but the closest estimate to this is: 30%, so it's A.

Please help me I’m struggling :’(
Vesna [10]

Answer:

B. x = \sqrt{40}

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagorean theorem, find the value of x.

Pythagorean theorem is given as c^2 = a^2 + b^2

Where,

c is the longest side of a right angled ∆ = the hypotenuse = x

a and b are legs of the right angled ∆ = 2 and 6

Plug in the values into the equation and solve for x

x^2 = 2^2 + 6^2

x^2 = 4 + 36

x^2 = 40

x = \sqrt{40}
