Sound policy requires that a certain number of trees be planted for every tree that is cut down for example of 8 trees are cut d

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

30 trees

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the policy:

8 trees are cut down 48 trees will be planted

If homeowner is going to cut down five trees on his property how many trees will be planted

Since :

8 trees cut down = 48 planted

5 trees cut down = X

Cross multiply :

8 * X = 48 * 5

8X = 240

X = 240/8

X = 30

Hence, 30 trees will need to be planted

A number, X, rounded to 1 decimal place is 3,7<br> Write down the error interval for x,

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

The error interval for x is:

[3.65,3.74]

Step-by-step explanation:

The number after rounding off is obtained as:

3.7

We know that any of the number below on rounding off the number to the first decimal place will result in 3.7:

3.65 3.66 3.67 3.68 3.69 3.70 3.71 3.72 3.73 3.74

( Because if we have to round off a number present in decimals to n place then if there is a number greater than or equal to 5 at n+1 place then it will result to the one higher digit at nth place on rounding off and won't change the digit if it less than 5 )

Hence, the error interval is:

[3.65,3.74]

The sum of first three terms of a finite geometric series is -7/10 and their product is -1/125. [Hint: Use a/r, a, and ar to rep

Alchen [17]

Ooh, fun

geometric sequences can be represented as
$a_n=a(r)^{n-1}$
so the first 3 terms are
$a_1=a$
$a_2=a(r)$
$a_2=a(r)^2$

the sum is -7/10
$\frac{-7}{10}=a+ar+ar^2$
and their product is -1/125
$\frac{-1}{125}=(a)(ar)(ar^2)=a^3r^3=(ar)^3$

from the 2nd equation we can take the cube root of both sides to get
$\frac{-1}{5}=ar$
note that a=ar/r and ar²=(ar)r
so now rewrite 1st equation as
$\frac{-7}{10}=\frac{ar}{r}+ar+(ar)r$
subsituting -1/5 for ar
$\frac{-7}{10}=\frac{\frac{-1}{5}}{r}+\frac{-1}{5}+(\frac{-1}{5})r$
which simplifies to
$\frac{-7}{10}=\frac{-1}{5r}+\frac{-1}{5}+\frac{-r}{5}$
multiply both sides by 10r
-7r=-2-2r-2r²
add (2r²+2r+2) to both sides
2r²-5r+2=0
solve using quadratic formula
for $ax^2+bx+c=0$
$x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$
so
for 2r²-5r+2=0
a=2
b=-5
c=2

$r=\frac{-(-5) \pm \sqrt{(-5)^2-4(2)(2)}}{2(2)}$
$r=\frac{5 \pm \sqrt{25-16}}{4}$
$r=\frac{5 \pm \sqrt{9}}{4}$
$r=\frac{5 \pm 3}{4}$
so
$r=\frac{5+3}{4}=\frac{8}{4}=2$ or $r=\frac{5-3}{4}=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}$

use them to solve for the value of a
$\frac{-1}{5}=ar$
$\frac{-1}{5r}=a$
try for r=2 and 1/2
$a=\frac{-1}{10}$ or $a=\frac{-2}{5}$

test each
for a=-1/10 and r=2
a+ar+ar²= $\frac{-1}{10}+\frac{-2}{10}+\frac{-4}{10}=\frac{-7}{10}$
it works

for a=-2/5 and r=1/2
a+ar+ar²= $\frac{-2}{5}+\frac{-1}{5}+\frac{-1}{10}=\frac{-7}{10}$
it works

both have the same terms but one is simplified

the 3 numbers are $\frac{-2}{5}$ , $\frac{-1}{5}$ , and $\frac{-1}{10}$

What is the equation in standard form of the line y = 1/9x + 5?

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

9(y = 1/9x + 5)

9y = x + 45

-x + 9y = 45

x - 9y = -45
