Let the five terms be: a, a + d, a + 2d, a + 3d, a + 4d, then
a + a + d + a + 2d + a + 3d + a + 4d = 5a + 15d = 40
i.e. a + 3d = 8
Also, (a + 2d)(a + 3d)(a + 4d) = 224
(a + 3d - d)(a + 3d)(a + 3d + d) = 224
(8 - d)(8)(8 + d) = 224
(8 - d)(8 + d) = 224/8 = 28
64 - d^2 = 28
d^2 = 64 - 28 = 36
d = sqrt(36) = 6
But a + 3d = 8
a + 3(6) = 8
a = 8 - 18 = -10

Therefore, the term of the sequence is: -10, -10 + 6, -10 + 2(6), -10 + 3(6), -10 + 4(6)
= -10, -4, -10 + 12, -10 + 18, -10 + 24
= -10, -4, 2, 8, 14

wolverine [178]
In order to solve this we can first convert 3h 28m to 208 minutes.
This will make it so we can find how many minutes it took her to run per mile.
The way we do that is by dividing 208 by 26. This leaves us with 8 minutes per mile.

Hope this helped at least a bit!

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

10.14 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The following equation describes the percentage of all eligible voters that are registered to vote as a function of time:

V=100-30e^{-0.04t}

The time 't' for which V(t) = 80 is the amount of years required for the percentage of registered voters to reach 80%:

80=100-30e^{-0.04t}\\\frac{20}{30}= e^{-0.04t}\\ln(\frac{2}{3})=-0.04t*ln(e)\\ t=10.14\ years

It will take 10.14 years until 80% of all eligible voters in your county are registered to vote

If the marginal propensity to consume is 0.8, (a) what is the value of the multiplier?
pentagon [3]
Given the marginal propensity to consume (MPC), the miltiplier is given by

Multiplier = 1 / (1 - MPC)

Given that the marginal propensity to consume is 0.8, the multiplier is given by

Multiplier = 1 / (1 - 0.8) = 1 / 0.2 = 5
