<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The distance that Adam should cover to get to the park is 108 miles.

<h2>Why?</h2>

To solve the problem, we need to write two equations with the given information about the times and his speed.

So,

For the first equation we have: Going to Disney Park

$time=4hours$

$Distance=v*4hours$

For the second equation we have: Going back from Disnery Park

$time=4hours-2.5hours=1.5hours$

$Speed=v+45mph$

$Distance=(v+45mph)*1.5hours$

Now, if He covered the same distance going and coming back, we have:

$v*4hours=(v+45mph)*1.5hours$

$v*4hours=v*1.5hours+45mph*1.5hours$

$v*4hours-v*1.5hours=45mph*1.5hours$

$v*2.5hours=67.5miles$

$v=\frac{67.5miles}{2.5hours}=27\frac{miles}{hour}=27mph$

We have that the speed when Adam was going to Disney Park was 27 mph.

Therefore, to calculate the distance, we need to substitute the obtained speed in any of the two first equations.

Then, substituting the speed into the first equation, we have:

$Distance=v*4hours\\Distance=27mph*4hours=108miles$

Hence, we have that the distance that Adam should cover to get to the park is 108 miles.

Havea nice day!

The first, third and thirteenth terms of an arithmetic sequence are the first 3 terms of a geometric sequence. If the first term

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

The first three terms of the geometry sequence would be $1$ , $5$ , and $25$ .

The sum of the first seven terms of the geometric sequence would be $127$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>1.</h3>

Let $d$ denote the common difference of the arithmetic sequence.

Let $a_1$ denote the first term of the arithmetic sequence. The expression for the $n$ th term of this sequence (where $n\!$ is a positive whole number) would be $(a_1 + (n - 1)\, d)$ .

The question states that the first term of this arithmetic sequence is $a_1 = 1$ . Hence:

The third term of this arithmetic sequence would be $a_1 + (3 - 1)\, d = 1 + 2\, d$ .
The thirteenth term of would be $a_1 + (13 - 1)\, d = 1 + 12\, d$ .

The common ratio of a geometric sequence is ratio between consecutive terms of that sequence. Let $r$ denote the ratio of the geometric sequence in this question.

Ratio between the second term and the first term of the geometric sequence:

$\displaystyle r = \frac{1 + 2\, d}{1} = 1 + 2\, d$ .

Ratio between the third term and the second term of the geometric sequence:

$\displaystyle r = \frac{1 + 12\, d}{1 + 2\, d}$ .

Both $(1 + 2\, d)$ and $\left(\displaystyle \frac{1 + 12\, d}{1 + 2\, d}\right)$ are expressions for $r$ , the common ratio of this geometric sequence. Hence, equate these two expressions and solve for $d$ , the common difference of this arithmetic sequence.

$\displaystyle 1 + 2\, d = \frac{1 + 12\, d}{1 + 2\, d}$ .

$(1 + 2\, d)^{2} = 1 + 12\, d$ .

$d = 2$ .

Hence, the first term, the third term, and the thirteenth term of the arithmetic sequence would be $1$ , $(1 + (3 - 1) \times 2) = 5$ , and $(1 + (13 - 1) \times 2) = 25$ , respectively.

These three terms ( $1$ , $5$ , and $25$ , respectively) would correspond to the first three terms of the geometric sequence. Hence, the common ratio of this geometric sequence would be $r = 25 /5 = 5$ .

<h3>2.</h3>

Let $a_1$ and $r$ denote the first term and the common ratio of a geometric sequence. The sum of the first $n$ terms would be:

$\displaystyle \frac{a_1 \, \left(1 - r^{n}\right)}{1 - r}$ .

For the geometric sequence in this question, $a_1 = 1$ and $r = 25 / 5 = 5$ .

Hence, the sum of the first $n = 7$ terms of this geometric sequence would be:

$\begin{aligned} & \frac{a_1 \, \left(1 - r^{n}\right)}{1 - r}\\ &= \frac{1 \times \left(1 - 2^{7}\right)}{1 - 2} \\ &= \frac{(1 - 128)}{(-1)} = 127 \end{aligned}$ .

if there are 2040 seats in a section of a stadium, 20 seats in the first row, and 4 more seats in each row, how many rows are th

Lorico [155]

2040 = n/2(20+(n-1)4)

4080 = n(20+4n-4)

4080= 20n +4n^2 -4n

1020 = 4n + n^2

n^2 +4n -1020 =0

use common formula (can't write out so just look at answers. sorry)

which gives answers of n=-34 and n=30. since n can only be positive, n=30 so there are 30 rows. I liked that challenge

How did we transform from f(x) =x2 to g(x) = -3x2

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

f(x) is reflected over the x-axis and vertically scaled by a factor of 3

Step-by-step explanation:

If you compare the two functions, you see that ...

g(x) = -3f(x)

Multiplication by -1 effects a reflection over the x-axis. (All y-values are transformed to their opposite.)

Multiplication by 3 is a vertical scaling by a factor of 3.

Taken together, f(x) is reflected over the x-axis and vertically scaled by a factor of 3.
