Answer:

600

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve the recursive formula for the previous term in terms of the present one:

a[n-1] = (a[n] +100)/1.5

Working backward, we find ...

a[4] = (a[5] +100)/1.5 = (2225 +100)/1.5 = 1550

a[3] = (1550 +100)/1.5 = 1100

a[2] = (1100 +100)/1.5 = 800

a[1] = (800 +100)/1.5 = 600

There were 600 daylilies on the farm after the first year.

marysya [2.9K]

The parent volunteers:
120 snow cones ... 5 hours
x snow cones = ? ... 1 hour

120 * 1 = 5 * x
120 = 5 * x /5
x = 120 / 5 = 24 snow cones

The student council:
100 snow cones ... 4 hours
y snow cones = ? ... 1 hour

100 * 1 = 4 * y
100 = 4 * y /4
y = 100 / 4 = 25 snow cones

Result: The student council made more snow cones per hour (25 > 24).

Type the correct answer in each box. If necessary, use / for the fraction bar. A bag contains 5 blue marbles, 2 black marbles, a

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Problem One

Blue = 5

Black =2

Red = 3

First of all there are 10 marbles, 2 of which are black.

That means that 8 others are not black

You can draw any one of the 8.

P(not black) = 8/10 = 4/5

Problem Two

There are 10 marbles in all

3 of them are red.

P(Red) = 3/10

SOLVE THE QUESTION BELOW ASAP

qwelly [4]

Answer:

Part A) The graph in the attached figure (see the explanation)

Part B) 16 feet

Part C) see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A) Graph the function

Let

h(t) ----> the height in feet of the ball above the ground

t -----> the time in seconds

we have

$h(t)=-16t^{2}+98$

This is a vertical parabola open downward (the leading coefficient is negative)

The vertex is a maximum

To graph the parabola, find the vertex, the intercepts, and the axis of symmetry

<em>Find the vertex</em>

The function is written in vertex form

The vertex is the point (0,98)

Find the y-intercept

The y-intercept is the value of the function when the value of t is equal to zero

For t=0

$h(t)=-16(0)^{2}+98$

$h(0)=98$

The y-intercept is the point (0,98)

Find the t-intercepts

The t-intercepts are the values of t when the value of the function is equal to zero

For h(t)=0

$-16t^{2}+98=0$

$t^{2}=\frac{98}{16}$

square root both sides

$t=\pm\frac{\sqrt{98}}{4}$

$t=\pm7\frac{\sqrt{2}}{4}$

therefore

The t-intercepts are

$(-7\frac{\sqrt{2}}{4},0), (7\frac{\sqrt{2}}{4},0)$

$(-2.475,0), (2.475,0)$

Find the axis of symmetry

The equation of the axis of symmetry in a vertical parabola is equal to the x-coordinate of the vertex

$x=0$ ----> the y-axis

To graph the parabola, plot the given points and connect them

we have

The vertex is the point $(0,98)$

The y-intercept is the point $(0,98)$

The t-intercepts are $(-2.475,0), (2.475,0)$

The axis of symmetry is the y-axis

The graph in the attached figure

Part B) How far is the artifact fallen from the time t=0 to time t=1

we know that

For t=0

$h(t)=-16(0)^{2}+98$

$h(0)=98\ ft$

For t=1

$h(t)=-16(1)^{2}+98$

$h(1)=82\ ft$

Find the difference

$98\ ft-82\ ft=16\ ft$

Part C) Does the artifact fall the same distance from time t=1 to time t=2 as it does from the time t=0 to time t=1?

we know that

For t=1

$h(t)=-16(1)^{2}+98$

$h(1)=82\ ft$

For t=2

$h(t)=-16(2)^{2}+98$

$h(2)=34\ ft$

Find the difference

$82\ ft-34\ ft=48\ ft$

The artifact fall 48 feet from time t=1 to time t=2 and fall 16 feet from time t=0 to time t=1

therefore

The distance traveled from t=1 to t=2 is greater than the distance traveled from t=0 to t=1

What is the value of m in the equation 5m − 7 = 6m 11? 18 1 −18 −1.

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer: 18

Step-by-step explanation: 5m - 7 = 6m + 11

Solve for M

5m - 6m = 11+ 7

-m = 18

Divide both sides by -1

-m/-1 = 18/-1

m = -18

Consider the linear transformation T from V = P2 to W = P2 given by T(a0 + a1t + a2t2) = (2a0 + 3a1 + 3a2) + (6a0 + 4a1 + 4a2)t

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

$[T]EE=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&3&3\\6&4&4\\-2&3&4\end{array}\right]$

Step-by-step explanation:

First we start by finding the dimension of the matrix [T]EE

The dimension is : Dim (W) x Dim (V) = 3 x 3

Because the dimension of P2 is the number of vectors in any basis of P2 and that number is 3

Then, we are looking for a 3 x 3 matrix.

To find [T]EE we must transform the vectors of the basis E and then that result express it in terms of basis E using coordinates and putting them into columns. The order in which we transform the vectors of basis E is very important.

The first vector of basis E is e1(t) = 1

We calculate T[e1(t)] = T(1)

In the equation : 1 = a0

$T(1)=(2.1+3.0+3.0)+(6.1+4.0+4.0)t+(-2.1+3.0+4.0)t^{2}=2+6t-2t^{2}$

$[T(e1)]E=\left[\begin{array}{c}2&6&-2\\\end{array}\right]$

And that is the first column of [T]EE

The second vector of basis E is e2(t) = t

We calculate T[e2(t)] = T(t)

in the equation : 1 = a1

$T(t)=(2.0+3.1+3.0)+(6.0+4.1+4.0)t+(-2.0+3.1+4.0)t^{2}=3+4t+3t^{2}$

$[T(e2)]E=\left[\begin{array}{c}3&4&3\\\end{array}\right]$

Finally, the third vector of basis E is $e3(t)=t^{2}$

$T[e3(t)]=T(t^{2})$

in the equation : a2 = 1

$T(t^{2})=(2.0+3.0+3.1)+(6.0+4.0+4.1)t+(-2.0+3.0+4.1)t^{2}=3+4t+4t^{2}$

Then

$[T(t^{2})]E=\left[\begin{array}{c}3&4&4\\\end{array}\right]$

And that is the third column of [T]EE

Let's write our matrix

$[T]EE=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&3&3\\6&4&4\\-2&3&4\end{array}\right]$

T(X) = AX

Where T(X) is to apply the transformation T to a vector of P2,A is the matrix [T]EE and X is the vector of coordinates in basis E of a vector from P2

For example, if X is the vector of coordinates from e1(t) = 1

$X=\left[\begin{array}{c}1&0&0\\\end{array}\right]$

$AX=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&3&3\\6&4&4\\-2&3&4\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{c}1&0&0\\\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{c}2&6&-2\\\end{array}\right]$

Applying the coordinates 2,6 and -2 to the basis E we obtain

$2+6t-2t^{2}$

That was the original result of T[e1(t)]
