Answer:

2,058

Step-by-step explanation:

first term : a_1 = 6

common ratio r = 7

a_n = (a_1) * r ^(n-1)

a_4 = 6 * 7^(4-1)

a_4 = 6 *7^3

a_4 = 6 * 343 = 2,058

(d) A car travels at an average speed of 80 km/h. How far does it travel in: (1) 2 hours? (11) 12 minutes?

zepelin [54]

Answer is (1) 160 km in 2 hours and
(2) 16 miles in 12 minutes.

Step by step.
80 km / 1 hour = x km /2 hours
Cross multiply =
x = 160

The second one requires a little more math. Because we are looking at how far in minutes, we change the rate of 80km in 1 hour to 80 km in 60 minutes.
80 km / 60 = x / 12
Cross multiply
12x = 960
Solve for x by dividing both sides by 12
X = 16

I did the math on a print screen to explain the cross multiply.

The equation of a function<br>y = 2/3x+1/3 find the value of y<br>when x = -3<br>when x = 1 1/2

kirill [66]

Answer:

$y = \frac{-5}{3}\\\\y = \frac {4}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$y = \frac{2}{3} x + \frac{1}{3}\\\\when \ x = -3 \\\\y = \frac{2}{3}(-3) + \frac{1}{3} = -2 + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{-6 + 1}{3}= \frac{-5}{3} \\\\When \ x = 1 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{2}\\\\y = \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{3}{2} + \frac{1}{3} = 1+ \frac{1}{3} = \frac{3 + 1}{3}= \frac{4}{3} \\\\$

How Do I To Study Effectively?

dangina [55]

Studying effectively is more harder than it sounds, but the best way to get in the zone in finding what things you prefer. Do you like silence or do you like to listen to music? Another thing when looking forward to studying is determining what you want to accomplish in each study session. To ensure you are studying your brain to the max is making flash cards and testing your own limit’s.
