<h3>The next two terms are: 1/2 and 1/4</h3>

note: in decimal form, 1/2 = 0.5 and 1/4 = 0.25

==========================================

Explanation:

This sequence is geometric with the common ratio r = 1/2 = 0.5

Multiply each term by 1/2 to get the next

16 times 1/2 = 16 times 0.5 = 8

8 times 1/2 = 8 times 0.5 = 4

4 times 1/2 = 4 times 0.5 = 2

2 times 1/2 = 2 times 0.5 = 1

1 times 1/2 = 1/2 = 0.5

1/2 times 1/2 = 1/4 = 0.25

So that's how we end up with 1/2 = 0.5 and 1/4 = 0.25 as the next two terms.

-----------

As a shortcut, you can use the nth term formula

an = 16*(1/2)^(n-1)

and plug in n = 6 and n = 7 to generate the next two terms a6 and a7. You should get 1/2 and 1/4 as your results.

Riya is applying mulch to her garden. she applies it at a rate of 250 , 000 cm 3 250,000 cm 3 250, comma, 000, start text, space

Tatiana [17]

The rate in

$\frac{ {m}^{3} }{ {m}^{2} } \: is \:0.25\frac{ {m}^{3} }{ {m}^{2} }$

<h3>How to find rate is riya applying mulch in m^3/m^2 ?</h3>

given that riya applies it at a rate of 250,000 cm^3 of mulch for every m^2 of garden space.

we already know that 1m = 100cm.

so, each side of this cube is 100cm in length.

so, $100 \times 100 \times 100 \: {cm}^{3} \: in \: {m}^{3}$

To find what is the volume in cubic metres.

$\frac{250000}{10000000} = \frac{1}{4} = 0.25 \frac{ {m}^{3} }{ { m}^{2} }$

so, the rate is $0.25 \frac{ {m}^{3} }{ {m}^{2} }$

F(x)=x^2 is vertically stretched by a factor of 2 and translated by 3 units left to create g(x). What does g(x)= ?

gavmur [86]

g(x)=-2(x+3)^2

The -2 in front is the vertical stretch.

Also, because it is going 3 units to the left, you have to put the 3 on the inside and because it is left you do the opposite and it is +3.

Which is the simplified form of the expression 3(7/5x+4) - 2(3/2 - 5/4x)?

Kruka [31]

Answer:

B. $\frac{67}{10} x + 9$

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the expression. Remember to go by the order of operations, or PEMDAS.

1) First, distribute the numbers outside of the set of parentheses to the terms inside the set of parentheses next to them. Then, simplify the fractions.

$3(\frac{7}{5} x + 4) -2 (\frac{3}{2} -\frac{5}{4} x)$

$\frac{21}{5}x + 12 - \frac{6}{2} + \frac{10}{4} x$

$\frac{21}{5} x + 12 - 3 + \frac{10}{4} x$

2) Finally, combine like terms. (This means to add or subtract constants and to add or subtract terms with the same variables.) You may need to convert terms to the same denominator in order to do so easier. Then, reduce the fraction.

$\frac{21}{5} x + 9 + \frac{10}{4}x \\\frac{84}{20}x + \frac{50}{20}x + 9 \\\frac{134}{20}x + 9 \\\frac{67}{10}x + 9$

Thus, the answer is $\frac{67}{10} x + 9$ .
