If the Alexanders completed the 735 mile trip in 15 hours, what was their average rate of travel?

Darina [25.2K]

The rate of travel here is in mph - "miles per hour".

That just means how many miles you can travel in one hour. In this problem, you're given 15 hours, and the distance they travel within those 15 hours.

Therefore, you should divide both the number of miles and the number of hours by 15 to find out how far they can travel in 1 hour.

735 ÷ 15 = 49 miles
15 ÷ 15 = 1 hour

Their average rate of travel was 49 miles in 1 hour, which is 49 mph.

Write a rule for a geometric sequence that has -6 as its first term and a common ratio of 2. What is the tenth term of this sequ

slega [8]

The general form of the geometric sequence is $a_{n} = a_{1} (r) ^{n-1}$ , where a sub n is the number term you're looking for (we're looking for the tenth term). a sub 1 is the first term in the sequence (ours is -6), r is the common ratio, and n-1 is the numbered term you're looking for minus 1. Our formula then looks like this: $a_{10} =-6(2) ^{10-1}$ . Simplify it to $a_{10} =-6(2)^9$ . Take 2 to the 9th power then multiply it by -6 to get -3072. C is your answer.
