Answer: The nth term of a geometric progression is Tn = ar^(n-1)

A. 12

B. 3.6

C. -3/4

D. 0.6

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of a geometric progression is Tn = ar^(n-1)

Where Tn= nth term

a = first term

r = common ratio

n = number

A. a6 = (2*6) = 12

B. a6 = (0.6*6) = 3.6

C. a6 = (-1/8*6) = -3/4

D. a6 = (0.1*6) = 0.6

Ms.Waddell put a 12-inch tall bucket under a leak in her sink. The bucket fills at a constant rate of 1/2 inch in every 1/6 of a

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question you will simply make a ratio type equation. You know that every 1/6 of an hour, or every 10 minutes, the bucket will fill 1/2 an inch. The bucket is 12 inches tall.

$\frac{10 min}{1/2 inch} = \frac{x min}{12 inches}$

Cross multiply

$120=\frac{1}{2} x$

$x=240 min$

Convert minutes to inches

$\frac{240 min}{1} * \frac{1 hr}{60 min} = 4 hr$

Final answer: 4 hours

Hope this helps!

If x = 2 calculate the value of x squared- x

monitta

Plug the x value which is 2 back to the x and solve.

I gave you two answers because I wasn’t sure if the question was (x^2) - 2 or x^2-2.
Those two functions look similar but is totally different so keep that in mind.

Hope you have a victorious day!

Simplify sqrt 244x + sqrt 36x - sqrt 25x

Morgarella [4.7K]

First simplify the square roots: $2 \sqrt{61x}+6 \sqrt{x}-5 \sqrt{x}$
Then simplify the last two terms: $2 \sqrt{61x}+\sqrt{x}$
Since 61 is prime, you can't take a rational root out of it.
