Mathematics

aleksley [76]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

B. -1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the terms given in the sequence:

4, -2, 1, -1/2, 1/4

we can find the pattern by dividing since it is a geometric seqence:

-2/4 = -1/2

1/-2 = -1/2

-1/2 ÷ 1 = -1/2

So, each term is multiplied by -1/2 to get the next term in the sequence:

\frac{1}{4}*-\frac{1}{2}=-\frac{1}{8}

Find a common denominator which is 12

1*3=3   4*3=12  so 3 3/12

then 5*2=10   6*2=12     so 2 10/12

2 10/12+3 3/12= 5 13/12  

13/12= 1 1/12 plus 5= 6 1/12

so your answer would be 6 1/12

The profitability, P, of a popular restaurant franchise can be modeled by the function P (t) = t4 – 10t3 + 28t2 – 24t, where t i
vekshin1

In this question, the profit of the restaurant after t months is given by a polynomial function. To find when it begins to show a profit, we find the numerical values of the function for t, and it shows a profit when t > 0

Profit after t months:

P(t) = t^4 - 10t^3 + 28t^2 - 24t

0 months:

This is P(0). So

P(0) = 0^4 - 10*0^3 + 28*0^2 - 24*0 = 0

1 month:

This is P(1). So

P(1) = 1^4 - 10*1^3 + 28*1^2 - 24*1 = -5

2 months:

This is P(2). So

P(2) = 2^4 - 10*2^3 + 28*2^2 - 24*2 = 0

3 months:

This is P(3). So

P(3) = 3^4 - 10*3^3 + 28*3^2 - 24*3 = -9

4 months:

This is P(4). So

P(4) = 4^4 - 10*4^3 + 28*4^2 - 24*4 = -32

5 months:

This is P(5). So

P(5) = 5^4 - 10*5^3 + 28*5^2 - 24*5 = -45

6 months:

This is P(6). So

P(6) = 6^4 - 10*6^3 + 28*6^2 - 24*6 = 0

7 months:

This is `P(7). So

P(7) = 7^4 - 10*7^3 + 28*7^2 - 24*7 = 175

After 7 months it shows profit, so it starts showing profit on the 6th month, and thus, the correct answer is given by option D.
