Answer:

c = - 32

Step-by-step explanation:

The common ratio r of the sequence is

r = \frac{a_{2} }{a_{1} } = \frac{4}{-2} = - 2

To find the next term in the sequence multiply the previous term by r

a = 4 × - 2 = - 8

b = - 8 × - 2 = 16

c = 16 × - 2 = - 32

PLEASE HELP
xenn [34]

Answer:

perimeter is  4 sqrt(29) + 4pi  cm

area is 40 + 8pi cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a semicircle and a triangle

First the semicircle with diameter 8

A = 1/2 pi r^2 for a semicircle

r = d/2 = 8/2 =4

A = 1/2 pi ( 4)^2

  =1/2 pi *16

  = 8pi

Now the triangle with base 8 and height 10

A = 1/2 bh

  =1/2 8*10

  = 40

Add the areas together

A = 40 + 8pi cm^2

Now the perimeter

We have 1/2 of the circumference

1/2 C =1/2 pi *d

         = 1/2 pi 8

        = 4pi

Now we need to find the length of the hypotenuse of the right triangles

using the pythagorean theorem

a^2+b^2 = c^2

The base is 4 ( 1/2 of the diameter) and the height is 10

4^2 + 10 ^2 = c^2

16 + 100 = c^2

116 = c^2

sqrt(116) = c

2 sqrt(29) = c

Each hypotenuse is the same so we have

hypotenuse + hypotenuse + 1/2 circumference

2 sqrt(29) + 2 sqrt(29) + 4 pi

4 sqrt(29) + 4pi  cm

Whole-wheat bread costs $2.06/lb. How much would 3.8 lb of whole-wheat bread cost?
Xelga [282]
Whole-wheat bread = $2.06/lb

We need the cost of 3.8 lbs of whole-wheat bread.

So, we simply need to multiply the cost with the amount needed.

(cost per pound) × (amount of bread)

($2.06) × (3.8)

Simplify.

$7.828

Round to the nearest tenths.

$7.83

So, 3.8 pounds of whole wheat bread costs $7.83

~Hope I helped!~

X=2
2x-3=-x+3

add three to both sides
add 1x to each side
should be left with 3x=6
divide both sides by 3 to get x alone
your answer then is x=2

The slope of the line passing through the points (0, 0) and (2, 3) is
MArishka [77]
You can use the equation to find the slope of a line given two points. This equation is y2 - y1 divided by x2 minus x1. The y2 is represented by the y coordinate of the second ordered pair, but it really doesn't matter, either way you get the same answer. The same way the x2 is represented by the x coordinate of the second ordered pair. For this problem, I will just use the normal coordinates. So the second y coordinate is 3. 3 -0 = 3. So your numerator is 3. The second x coordinate is 2. 2-0 = 2. So the denominator is 2. This is 3/2. So your slope would be 3/2. Hope this helps. :D Let me know if you didn't understand something in my explanation.
