64,-48,36,-17... which formula can be used to describe the sequence?

Mathematics

7 0

Answer:

Explicit formula is an = 64(-3/4)^(n-1).

Step-by-step explanation:

Looks like a geometric sequence with a negative common ratio.

-48/64 = - 3/4

36 / -48 = -3/4

Now -27/36 = -3/4 so I think there's a typo in the question. Its -27 not -17.

The required formula is 64(-3/4)^(n-1) .

A rectangle has a perimeter of 30 ft. Find a function that models its area A in terms of the length x of one of its sides. What
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the other side of the rectangle be y. The perimeter of the rectangle is expressed as P = 2(x+y)

Given P = 30ft, on substituting P = 30 into the expression;

30 = 2(x+y)

x+y = 15

y = 15-x

Also since the area of the rectangle is xy;

A = xy

Substitute y = 15-x into the area;

A = x(15-x)

A = 15x-x²

The function that models its area A in terms of the length x of one of its sides is A = 15x-x²

The side of length x yields the greatest area when dA/dx = 0

dA/dx = 15-2x

15-2x = 0

-2x = -15

x = -15/-2

x = 7.5 ft

Hence the side length, x that yields the greatest area is 7.5ft.

Since y = 15-x

y = 15-7.5

y = 7.5

Area of the rectangle = 7.5*7.5

Area of the rectangle = 56.25ft²

What is the sum of the first 39 positive odd numbers?
liq [111]
1-39 ODD:
1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17,19,21,23,25,27,29,31,33,35,37,39
Now you'd add them all up.
1+3+5+7+9 = 25
11+13+15+17+19 = 75
21+23+25+27+29 = 125
31+33+35+37+39 = 175
Add the totals:
25+75+125+175
The answer would be 400.
