Answer:

Next term of the sequence is:

1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a sequence :

12,6,3,...

We have to find the next term of this sequence

As we can see the successive term is half the preceding term

i.e. in general if A(n) denotes the nth term of the sequence then,

A(n+1)=A(n)/2

We are given the third term=A(3)=3

Fourth term=A(3+1)

=A(3)/2

=3/2

= 1.5

Hence, next term of the sequence is:

1.5

Rick knows that 1 cup of glue weighs 1/18 pound. He has 2/3 pound of glue. How many cups of glue does he have?

Basile [38]

$\begin{array}{ccc}1\ cup&-&\frac{1}{18}\ lb\ (pound)\\\\x\ cup&-&\frac{2}{3}\ lb\ (pounds)\end{array}\ \ \ \ \ \ cross\ multiply\\\\\\\frac{1}{18}x=1\times\frac{2}{3}\\\\\frac{1}{18}x=\frac{2}{3}\ \ \ \ \ \ |multiply\ both\ sides\ by\ 18\\\\18\times\frac{1}{18}x=18\times\frac{2}{3}\\\\x=6\times2\\\\\boxed{x=12}\\\\Answer:He\ has\ 12\ cups\ of\ glue.$

What is the slope line perpendicular to the equation 4x+3y=9

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

m=3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

first, let's put the line 4x+3y=9 from standard form (ax+by=c) into slope-intercept form (y=mx+b)

we have the equation 4x+3y=9

subtract 4x from both sides

3y=-4x+9

divide by 3

y=-4/3x+3

perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative and reciprocal. If the slopes are multiplied together, the result is -1

so to find the slope of the line perpendicular to the line y=-4/3x+3, we can take the slope of y=-4/3x+3 (-4/3) multiply it by a variable (this is our unknown value), and have that set to -1

(m is the slope value)

-4/3m=-1

multiply by -3/4

m=3/4

therefore the slope of the perpendicular line is 3/4

hope this helps!! :)
