The price of tiling a room varies directly as the size of the room. Sam is laying tile in his kitchen. If the tiling costs $4,22

Answer:

239 ft².

Step-by-step explanation:

Let P represent the price for tiling.

Let S represent the size of the room.

From the question,

Price (P) varies directly as the size (S) i.e

P & S

P = KS

Where K is the constant of proportionality.

Next, we shall determine the value of K as follow

Price (P) = $ 4224

Size (S) = 264 ft²

Constant of proportionality (K) =?

P = KS

4224 = K × 264

Divide both side by 264

K = 4224/264

K = 16

Finally, we shall determine the size of the kitchen that will cost $ 3824 for tiling.

This is illustrated below:

Price (P) = $ 3824

Constant of proportionality (K) = 16

Size (S) =?

P = KS

3824 = 16 × S

Divide both side by 16

S = 3824/16

S = 239 ft²

Therefore, the size of the kitchen is 239 ft².

Which function can be used to model the graphed geometric sequence?
andreev551 [17]

Answer: The correct option is 1, i.e., f(x+1)=\frac{5}{6}f(x).

Explanation:

The geometric sequence is in the form of,

a,ar,ar^2,ar^3,....

Where, a is the first term of the sequence and r is the common ratio of the sequence.

It means the n_{th} term of the sequence is defined as,

a_n=ar^{n-1}

So the the (n+1)_{th} term of the sequence is defined as,

a_{n+1}=ar^n

a_{n+1}=r(ar^{n-1})

a_{n+1}=ra_n

It means the geometric sequence is in the form of,

f(x+1)=rf(x)

Where, r be any constant.

From the options only f(x+1)=\frac{5}{6}f(x) is in the form of f(x+1)=rf(x) with common ratio \frac{5}{6}.

Therefore, the function can be used to model the graphed geometric sequence is f(x+1)=\frac{5}{6}f(x) .

Car A leaves San Diego at noon driving at 60 mph along a route which is 400 miles long to San Francisco. Car B leaves San Franci
lilavasa [31]
Distance = speed x time
Distance travelled by car A when car B started = 60 x 2 = 120 miles
Number of miles remaining at the time car B started = 400 - 120 = 280 miles.

At time of their meeting both cars has travelled a combined distance of 280 miles and has spent the same time.
Let t be the time they travelled together before they meet, then the sum of the distance travelled by car A and car B is 280miles.
60t + 80t = 280
140t = 280
t = 280/140 = 2 hours

After 2 hours car A has travelled a further 60 x 2 = 120 miles and car B has travelled 80 x 2 = 160 miles.

Total distance travelled be car A is 120 + 120 = 240 miles

Midpoint of the journey = 400/2 = 200 miles
Therefre, at the time they met, the were 40 miles from the midpoint and they are close to San Francisco.

WITCHER [35]

Hello.


To find the answer you will have to add them then divide by 2.


So if you add 21.85+-4.7 you will get the answer of 17.15.


Then divide by two to get 8.575


The answer is: 8.575 Celsius


Have a nice day
