Find the ninth term of the sequence sqrt 5, sqrt 10, ^2sqrt 5
hjlf
The rule of geometric sequence is   ⇒⇒⇒ a * r^(n-1)
Where a is the first term and  r is the common ratio
for the given sequence  √5 , √10 , 2√5 , .......
a = √5
r = √10 / √5 = √2
The ninth term = √5 * (√2)^(9-1) = √5 * (√2)⁸ = 16 √5

the correct answer is the third option 16√5

Regina, Phil, and Joseph each wrote expressions to represent their hourly earnings for an after-school job where h represents th
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

Disagree

On weeks when Joseph works extra 2/3 hours more than Phil, Phil and Joseph can earn the same amount of money

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression for the hourly earnings of Regina, Phil and Joseph are as follows;

Regina: 6.50·h + 16

Phil: 3·(2.5·H + 5)

Joseph: 7.50·h + 10

The number of hours worked = h

The hourly earnings for Phil equated to the hourly earnings of Joseph gives;

3·(2.5·H + 5) = 7.50·h + 10

Simplifying we get;

3 × 2.5·h + 3 × 5 = 7.50·h + 10

7.5·h + 15 = 7.50·h + 10

Which gives

15 =  10 + 5 = 10 which is not correct.

Therefore, when both Phil and Joseph works the same number of hours, in the week, Phil will earn 5 units more Joseph

However, we have that, where Joseph works extra 5/7.5 or 2/3 hours more than Phil, every week, they will earn the same amount of money every week.

Therefore, it is possible for Phil and Joseph to earn the same amount of money when Joseph works extra 2/3 hours more than Phil which gives;

On weeks when Joseph works extra 2/3 hours more than Phil, Phil and Joseph can earn the same amount of money.

Here are five number cards. 2 5 7 8 9 One of the cards is removed and the mean average of the remaining four number cards is 6.
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

Card 7

Step-by-step explanation:

2+5+7+8+9 =31

Multiples of 6: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30

31-9=22, No

31-8=23, No

31-5=26, No

31-2=29, No

31-7=24, Yes

The only way to get a multiple of 6 is to subtract card 7, so card 7 is the answer.

Jared creates a number sequence that has a first term of 2 and a second of term of 5. Each term after the second is created by s
dexar [7]

The rule for the sequence is S(n) = 2S(n-1) - S(n-2)

Alternative form: S(n) = S(n-1) + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, we know the first two terms of the sequence:

S(1) = 2

S(2) = 5

We are told that each term after the second is created by subtracting the term before the previous term from twice the previous term. In other words, if we call:

S(n) the current term

S(n-1) the previous term

S(n-2) the term before the previous term

This statement translates into the following sequence:

S(n) = 2S(n-1) - S(n-2)

Because we are subtracting the term before the previous term, S(n-2), from twice the previous term, 2S(n-1).

We can apply now the rule to find the first few terms of the sequence after S(1) and S(2):

S(3) = 2S(2) - S(1) = 2(5)-2=10-2 = 8

S(4) = 2S(3) - S(2) = 2(8)-5=16-5 = 11

S(5) = 2S(4) - S(3) = 2(11)-8=22-8 = 14

We notice also that each term of the sequence is just equal to the previous term plus 3, so the sequence can also be written as

S(n) = S(n-1) + 3
