Let x be the common ratio and y be the 3rd term

11.25/x=y     This means the fourth term divided by the common ratio will get the third term
20x=y           This means the second term multiplied by the common ratio will get the third term

11.25/x=20x        Set the two y's equal to each other, and solve for x!
20x^2=11.25
x^2=.5625
x=+-√.5625
x=.75 or -.75

__ , 20, __, 11.25

11.25 = 20 * r^(3-1)
11.25/20 = r^2
0.5625 = r^2
sqrt 0.5625 = r
0.75 = r...so common difference is 0.75 or 3/4

aksik [14]

Answer:

Length A:  5 ft

Width B:  4 ft

volume = 88 ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

Length A:   8 - 3 = 5 ft

Width B:   8 - 4 = 4 ft

<u>Volume</u>

The easiest way to calculate the volume is to split the trough into two rectangular prisms. (imagine drawing a horizontal line from the internal corner of A and 4ft to the left 8ft side).

Volume of a rectangular prism = width x length x height

Volume of rectangular prism 1: B x 8 x 2 = 4 x 8 x 2 = 64 ft³

Volume of rectangular prism 2: 3 x 4 x 2 = 24 ft³

Total volume = 64 + 24 = 88 ft³

What is the inverse of the function f(x) = 4x + 8?
kati45 [8]

Answer:

f^-1(x) = (x-8)/4

Step-by-step explanation:

To find an inverse function, simply flip the x and y variables in a equation and then solve in terms of y.

x = 4y + 8

x - 8 = 4y

y = (x-8)/4

And we have our final answer!

andrew-mc [135]
Given:
A megabyte holds 1,000,000 = 10⁶ characters of data.

Because a gigabyte is 1,000 times more than a megabyte, it holds
10⁶*1,000 = 10⁶ * 10³ = 10⁹ characters of data.

Answer:
A gigabyte holds 10⁹ or 1,000,000,000 characters of data.
