There may be more than one solution, but if we take the difference between the numbers of the sequence, we get
3-1, 11-3, 43-11
=2,8,32
which are powers of 2
=2^1, 2^3,2^5
If we believe the next difference is 2^7=128, then the next in the sequence will be 43+128=171
Absolute value is the distance/difference from a number to the standard number. In this case, the standard value is 14. Let's say 7-year-old Mike is riding his bike up and down the neighborhood street. Mike's house is located on 14th Avenue. Mom told Mike to stay within 3 blocks from home, so Mike can go as far north the 17th street and as far south to 11th street.
x-14=3 or x-14=-3
x=17 or x=11
I hope this makes sense to you.
Answer:
15.625
Step-by-step explanation:
A.) To find the maximum height, we can take the derivative of h(t). This will give us the rate at which the horse jumps (velocity) at time t.
h'(t) = -32t + 16
When the horse reaches its maximum height, its position on h(t) will be at the top of the parabola. The slope at this point will be zero because the line tangent to the peak of a parabola is a horizontal line. By setting h'(t) equal to 0, we can find the critical numbers which will be the maximum and minimum t values.
-32t + 16 = 0
-32t = -16
t = 0.5 seconds
b.) To find out if the horse can clear a fence that is 3.5 feet tall, we can plug 0.5 in for t in h(t) and solve for the maximum height.
h(0.5) = -16(0.5)^2 + 16(-0.5) = 4 feet
If 4 is the maximum height the horse can jump, then yes, it can clear a 3.5 foot tall fence.
c.) We know that the horse is in the air whenever h(t) is greater than 0.
-16t^2 + 16t = 0
-16t(t-1)=0
t = 0 and 1
So if the horse is on the ground at t = 0 and t = 1, then we know it was in the air for 1 second.
You divide the 15x by the 124. I know it sounds weird because you'll get a decimal, but that is what you are supposed to do because 124 is not a factor of 5.
