Answer:
7.5 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the variable 't' for time, you can set up an equation to find out how long it will take the truck to catch up to the bus. Since the bus is traveling at 60mph and the truck is traveling 1 2/3 times faster, we need to first find the rate of the truck:
1
Using 't' and the knowledge that they will have traveled the same distance we the truck catches up to the bus and the fact that the truck left 3 hours later:
60t = 100(t - 3) or 60t = 100t - 300
Solve for 't': 60t - 100t = -300 or -40t = -300 so, t = 7.5 hours
Answer:
The nth term of the geometric sequence 7, 14, 28, ... is:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the geometric sequence
7, 14, 28, ...
We know that a geometric sequence has a constant ratio 'r' and is defined by
where a₁ is the first term and r is the common ratio
Computing the ratios of all the adjacent terms
The ratio of all the adjacent terms is the same and equal to
now substituting r = 2 and a₁ = 7 in the nth term
Therefore, the nth term of the geometric sequence 7, 14, 28, ... is:
