The sequence is alternatingly decreasing and increasing.
3 - 9 = -6
-6 + 18 = 12
12 - 8 = 4
4 + 16 = 20

Therefore, next term will be:
20 - 7 = 13

A piston rises to 5 cm and falls to 3 cm in such a way that it returns to the maximal height three times every two seconds. If w
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

(1 cm)cos3πt

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the piston starts at its maximal height and returns to its maximal height three times evert 2 seconds, it is modelled by a cosine functions, since a cosine function starts at its maximum point. So, its height h = Acos2πft

where A = amplitude of the oscillation and f = frequency of oscillation and t = time of propagation of oscillation.

Now, since the piston rises in such a way that it returns to the maximal height three times every two seconds, its frequency, f = number of oscillations/time taken for oscillation where number of oscillations = 3 and time taken for oscillations  = 2 s

So, f = 3/2 s =1.5 /s = 1.5 Hz

Also, since the the piston moves between 3 cm and 5 cm, the distance between its maximum displacement(crest) of 5 cm and minimum displacement(trough) of 3 cm is H = 5 cm - 3 cm = 2 cm. So its amplitude, A = H/2 = 2 cm/2 = 1 cm

h = Acos2πft

= (1 cm)cos2π(1.5Hz)t

= (1 cm)cos3πt

Jack and Jill fetched 24 pints of water in their bucket. Jill drank a tenth of this, jack a quarter. They gave three eighths to
Minchanka [31]

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Total water fetched = 24 pints.

Jill drank a tenth of this. This will be:

= 1/10 × 24

= 2.4 pints

Jack drank a quarter. This will be:

= 1/4 × 24 = 6.

They gave three eighths to dame Dob . Thus will be:

= 3/8 × 24

= 9

They gave a fifth to jill's mother. This will be:

= 1/5 × 24.

= 4.80

Amount that'll be left over will be:

= 24 - (2.40 + 6 + 9 + 4.80)

= 24 - 22.2

= 1.8

1.8 pints of water will be left over.

In the city, the dust and between the library and the police station is 3 miles less than twice the distance between the police
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

7 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the distance between the library and police station x. Then, the distance between the police station and fire station would be 3 less than twice x. Twice means multiply by 2 so twice x is 2 * x = 2x and 3 less than means that you subtract 3 so 3 less than 2x is 2x - 3. Now, we know that x = 5 so all we have to do now is substitute x = 5 into 2x - 3, therefore, the answer is 2 * 5 - 3 = 7 miles.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A. If children are considered people under the age of 18, then the answer would be

13 < a < 18 where the a represents age, where the inequality signs do not have an equals to because those ages are excluded

B. This inequality can be shown on a number line with open circles denoting the endpoints 13 and 18 as they are not included, and a line connecting these two points which represents the ages encompassed by the range
