We have got an geometric progression.

We use to find any term of a geometric sequence, this equation:

an=a₁ * r^(n-1)

a₁= is the first term.

r=is the common ratio.

n=numbers of the term to find.

r=an / an-1

In this case:

r=a₂/a₁=(-4.8) / 9.6=-0.5

a₁=9.6

an=9.6*(-0.5)^(n-1)

Jlenok [28]

Answer:

the projectile reached a maximum height of 27.6 meters in 2.4 seconds and it took 5.0 seconds for it to hit the ground

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the vertex you can find the axis of symmetry first

that equation is -b/2a

-19/-8 = 2.375

then you take this and plug it in

-4(2.375)^2 + 19*2.375 + 5

that gives you 27.5625

then you have to find when it hits the ground

you can factor to find this out

-4t^2 + 19t + 5

4t^2 - 19t - 5

4t^2 + t - 20t - 5

t(4t + 1) -5(4t +1)

(t - 5)(4t + 1)

t = {5, -1/4}

we can only take positive time so it took 5 seconds

the answer is the second one

The dot plot below shows the hourly rate of some babysitters in a city:

Blababa [14]

Answer:

A dot plot is like a histogram but it uses dots instead of bars. Like histogram, a dot plot also presents the frequency of data points. The dot plot as described by the problem is shown in the picture. A bell shape is drawn for a symmetrical data. From the choices, the answer is: It is symmetric and has no gaps. The other statements are wrong because the peak is at $5 or $6.
