In a geometric progression:
a, b, c, d...
The common ratio can be obtained using:
b/a = c/b = d/c
b/a = 112 / 64 = 1.75
c/b = 196 / 112 = 1.75
d/c = 343 / 196 = 1.75
The common ratio = 1.75
2/9 + 1/3 + 2/3
2/9 + 3/9 + 6/9
(2 + 3 + 6) /9
11/9
Plane #1 speed: x mph
Plane #2 speed: (x+30) mph
time = time becomes
170 mi 185 mi
---------- = --------------
x x+30
Solving for x, the speed of the slower plane, we get
170x + 5100 = 185 x
5100
Then 15x = 5100, and x = ---------- (mi/hr) = 340 mph
15
The slower plane flies at 340 mph, and the faster one at 370 mph.
The answer is 65 if your wondering why you have to put the numbers from least to greatest then find the one that is in the middle
Hello,
2.3 x 10^9 = ( 1 x 10^3) ( 2.3 x 10^n)
Solution:
Take the logarithm of both sides of the equation to remove the variable from the exponent.
