Answer:

Correct answer:  Third answer  aₙ = -5 · 2⁽ⁿ ⁻ ¹⁾

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

-5, -10, -20, -40,.....

First term       a₁ = -5

Second term a₂ = -10

Third term     a₃ = -20

Common ratio or quotient

q = a₂ / a₁ = a₃ / a₂ = -10 / -5 = -20 / -10 = 2

q = 2

First term  a₁

Second term a₂ = a₁ · q = a₂ · q²

Third term     a₃ = a₂ · q = a₁ · q³

.....................................................

n-th term aₙ = a₁ · q⁽ⁿ ⁻ ¹⁾

aₙ = -5 · 2⁽ⁿ ⁻ ¹⁾

A sand box measures 10 feet long by 8 feet wide by 1 foot deep what area of land must be clearest
Andrei [34K]

Answer: 80 cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello! Your question was not very clear, but I'm assuming you need to find the volume of the sandbox.

To find volume, you need to multiply height by width by length, which is h*l*w.

Height: 1 foot

Width: 8 feet

Length: 10 feet

V=8*10*1=80 cubic feet.

(1 point) A fish tank initially contains 15 liters of pure water. Brine of constant, but unknown, concentration of salt is flowi
Drupady [299]

Answer:

a. \dfrac{dx}{dt} = 6\frac{2}{3} \cdot c

b. x(t) = 6\frac{2}{3} \cdot c \cdot t

c. c  = \dfrac{3}{8}  \ g/L

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The volume of water initially in the fish tank = 15 liters

The volume of brine added per minute = 5 liters per minute

The rate at which the mixture is drained = 5 liters per minute

The amount of salt in the fish tank after t minutes = x

Where the volume of water with x grams of salt = 15 liters

dx =  (5·c - 5·c/3)×dt = 20/3·c = 6\frac{2}{3} \cdot c \cdot dt

\dfrac{dx}{dt} = 6\frac{2}{3} \cdot c

b. The amount of salt, x after t minutes is given by the relation

\dfrac{dx}{dt} = 6\frac{2}{3} \cdot c

dx = 6\frac{2}{3} \cdot c \cdot dt

x(t) = \int\limits \, dx  = \int\limits \left ( 6\frac{2}{3} \cdot c \right) \cdot dt

x(t) = 6\frac{2}{3} \cdot c \cdot t

c. Given that in 10 minutes, the amount of salt in the tank = 25 grams, and the volume is 15 liters, we have;

x(10) = 25 \ grams(15 \ in \ liters) = 6\frac{2}{3} \times c \times 10

6\frac{2}{3} \times c  =\dfrac{25 \ grams }{10}

c  =\dfrac{25 \ g/L }{10 \times 6\frac{2}{3} }  = \dfrac{25 \ g/L}{10 \times \dfrac{20}{3} } =\dfrac{3}{200} \times 25 \ g/L= \dfrac{75}{200}  \ g/L = \dfrac{3}{8}  \ g/L

c  = \dfrac{3}{8}  \ g/L
