Tommy’s class rank dropped 10 %
Answer:
{8, 24, 72, 216, 648}
Step-by-step explanation:
Geometric sequence:
In a geometric sequence, the quotient of consecutive terms is always the same, that is, each term is the previous term multiplied by the common ratio.
In this question:
First element is 8, common ratio of 3. So
Second term: 8*3 = 24
Third term: 24*3 = 72
Fourth term: 72*3 = 216
Fifth term: 216*3 = 648
So the answer is {8, 24, 72, 216, 648}
Answer:
good news, the second one is relatively easy because it can be factored to (2x+1)(2x-3) which means that number two has solutions of -1/2 and 3/2
but for number one you have to either use the quadratic equation cause I've tried using synthetic division or just use the second equation to derive the first solutions so I tried move the graph up by two units and found that the intercepts are approximately (1+-√2)/2 or 1/2+-1/√2 for 4x^2-4x-1
Answer:
Girls = 16
Total students = 40
Step-by-step explanation:
40% of the students are girls, this means 60% of the students are boys.
To find the number of girls, setup a proportion using the percentages and actual number of students in the class. I am going to make the numerator the numbers that go with the girls and the denominator will be the numbers that go with the boys.
Also let's convert the percentages to decimals by moving the decimal two places left.
40% = 0.4 and 60% = 0.6
Now let's find the total number of students by adding the number of girls to the number of boys.
16 + 24 = 40
