Answer:

The correct order that the machines should be stacked so that when 15 dropped into the first machine, and all four machines have had their effect, the last machine's output is -6 can be written as follows;

4th machine → 2nd machine → 1st machine → 3rd machine

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the initial input is 15 and the final output is -6, we have;

For the fourth machine;

y = -2·x + 34 = -2×15 + 34 = 4

The output is 4

Next to the second machine

y = (x - 2)²

The input is x = 4, therefore;

y = (4 - 2)² = 2² = 4

The output is 4

Next to the first machine

y  = - \left | 3\cdot x \right |

The input, x = 4, therefore;

y  = - \left | 3\times 4 \right | = -12

The output is -12

Next to the third machine

y = -x/3 -10

The input is x = -12, therefore;

y = -(-12)/3 -10 = 12/3 -10 = 4 - 10 = -6

The output is -6.

Therefore, the correct order that the machines should be stacked so that when 15 dropped into the first machine, and all four machines have had their effect, the last machine's output is -6 can be written as follows;

4th → 2nd → 1st → 3rd

What is the sum of the first five terms of a geometric series with a1=15 and r=1/3
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

15, 5, 5/3, 5/9, 5/27

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall, that the general form of a geometric series is

a, ar, ar², ar³, .........

where a is the first term and r is the ratio

It is given that the first time is 15, hence a = 15

also given that ratio is 1/3

hence the first 5 terms are:

15, (15)(1/3), (15)(1/3)^2, (15)(1/3)^3, (15)(1/3)^4

simplifying each term gives

15, 5, 5/3, 5/9, 5/27

5 1/6 + (7 1/3)l <60
agasfer [191]

Answer:

l

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the inequality

5\dfrac{1}{6}+7\dfrac{1}{3}l

First, convert mixed numbers to improper fractions:

5\dfrac{1}{6}=\dfrac{5\cdot 6+1}{6}=\dfrac{31}{6}\\ \\7\dfrac{1}{3}=\dfrac{7\cdot 3+1}{3}=\dfrac{22}{3}

Now the inequality looks like

\dfrac{31}{6}+\dfrac{22}{3}l

Multiply it by 6:

\dfrac{31}{6}\cdot 6+\dfrac{22}{3}l\cdot 6
