Rewrite the rational (fraction) exponents using the formula ^n<span>√a^x= a x/n
3m 1/2 </span>
Step-by-step explanation:
the introduction of a fraction tells us that we are dealing with multiplications, and therefore a geometric sequence (where every new term is created by multiplying the previous term by a constant factor, the ratio r).
I think your teacher made a mistake, or you made one when typing the question in here.
there is no factor r that creates
15×r = 9
and
9×r = 5/27
it would mean that
15 × r² = 5/27
r² = 5/27 / 15 = 5/27 × 1/15 = 5/405 = 1/81
r = 1/9
but 15 × 1/9 = 5 × 1/3 = 5/3 is NOT 9
and 9 × 1/9 = 9/9 = 1 is NOT 5/27
so, this can't be right.
on the other hand
15 × r = 9
r = 9/15 = 3/5
and then
9 × 3/5 = 27/5
so, either the sequence should have been
15, 5/3, 5/27
or (and I suspect this to be true)
15, 9, 27/5
under that assumption we have
s1 = 15
r = 3/5
sn = sn-1 × r = s1 × r^(n-1) = 15 × (3/5)^(n-1)
s10 = 15 × (3/5)⁹ = 15 × 19683/1953125 =
= 3 × 19683/390625 = 59049/390625 =
= 0.15116544 ≈ 0.151
This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.
What is a peregrine falcon's maximum speed while diving to catch prey 200 miles per hour in feet per second? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number. (1 mile = 5280 feet)
Answer : The speed in feet per second is, 293 feet/s
Step-by-step explanation :
As we are given that the speed of peregrine falcon's is 200 miles per hour. Now we have to determine the speed in feet per second.
As we know that:
1 mile = 5280 feet
1 hour = 3600 second
So,
1 mile/hr = 1.4667 feet/s
As, 1 mile/hr = 1.4667 feet/s
So, 200 mile/hr = 
= 293.34 feet/s ≈ 293 feet/s
Therefore, the speed in feet per second is, 293 feet/s
