A₅ = 1/16  and r= 1/4

Let see how to build up this formula that is going to give that term of rank n

1st term =a₁ = To be calculated

1st a₁   = a₁  x  r°
2nd a₂  = a₁  x  r¹
3rd a₃  =  a₁  x  r²
4th a₄   = a₁  x  r³
5th a₅   = a₁  x  r⁴
.......................
.......................
nth : a(n) = a₁  x r⁽ⁿ-¹)
Note when that the subscript of a is the same as the exponent mines 1

We know the ratio r =1/4 & the fifth term, a₅ =1/16 (given). Now let's apply the formula to calculate the unknown a₁.

a(n) = a₁  x r⁽ⁿ-¹) ==>a₅ = a₁ x (1/4)⁽⁵⁺¹⁾ ===> 1/16 = a₁ x (1/4)⁴
1/167 = a₁ (1/256) ==> a₁ =16 & the formula becomes
a₅ = 16(1/4)⁴

I think( so correct me if i'm wrong).....Using the distance formula... D=Rate x Time, you alter it so that it equals time, since you want to find the number of weeks.
Time = Distance/ rate
SInce you start off at 2 and end up with 5, the total distance is 3 (I subtracted 5-2). And rate is already 12% (this is the iffy part, I'm not sure if you change the 12%  in anyway.... but lets move on)

SO Time= 3miles/ 12% which is 1/4 of a week, or possibly.....

Time = 3 miles/ 0.12 which would equal 25 weeks.....

Answer:

The answer to your question is h = 125.85 ft = 126 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Process

1.- Determine two equations to solve the problem

    tan 14 = \frac{h}{x}                     (1)

    tan 47 = \frac{h}{x - 386}           (2)

    from (1)                           h = xtan14

    substitute in (2)             tan 47 = \frac{xtan14}{x - 386}

    solve for x                     tan47(x - 386) = xtan14

                                          1.07x - 413.9 = 0.25x

                                          1.07x - 0.25x = 413.9

                                           0.82x = 413.9

                                           x = 413.9/0.82

                                           x = 504.76 ft

2.- Calculate h

                                          h = 504.76 tan 14

                                          h = 125.85 ft = 126 ft

What is the solution to the system of equations? y = A system of equations. Y equals StartFraction 2 over 3 EndFraction x plus 3
Sauron [17]

Answer:

The solution to the given system of equations is (-2,\frac{5}{3})

Therefore the values of x and y are x=-2 and y=\frac{5}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations can be written as

y=\frac{2}{3}x+3\hfill (1)

x=-2x+3x=-2\hfill (2)

Solving equation(2) we get

x=-2

Substitute x=-2 in equation (1) we get

y=\frac{2}{3}(-2)+3

=-\frac{4}{3}+3

=\frac{-4+9}{3}

=\frac{5}{3}

Therefore the values of x and y are  x=-2 and y=\frac{5}{3}

The solution to the given system of equations is (-2,\frac{5}{3})

Solve formula for B v= 1/3Bh
MaRussiya [10]

v = 1/3Bh

Divide both sides by h.

v/h = 1/3B

Multiply both sides by 3.

3v/h = B

\boxed {B = \frac{3v}{h} }
