Answer:

The 99th tower contains 9900 blocks.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given, we were told that the nth tower is formed by stacking n blocks on top of an n times n square of blocks. This implies that the number of blocks in n tower will be:

n + n²

Now let us use the diagram to validate the idea.

Tower 1:

n = 1

Number of blocks = 1 + 1² = 2

Tower 2:

Number of blocks = 2 + 2² = 6

Tower 3:

Number of blocks = 3 + 3² = 12

Using same idea, we can obtain the number of blocks in the 99th tower as follow:

Tower 99:

n = 99

Number of blocks = 99 + 99² = 9900

Therefore, the 99th tower contains 9900 blocks.

Use the formula d =rt to find the distance d a long distance runner can run at a rate r of 9 1/2 miles per hour for time t of 1
Svetradugi [14.3K]
I find these easier to calculate when everything is converted to a decimal
d=rt
d=(9.5mph x 1.75)
d = 16.625 ( approx. 16.6 miles)

What value of cc​ will complete the square below and make the expression a perfect square trinomial?
Sav [38]

Question: What value of c​ will complete the square below (x^{2} +30x+c) and make the expression a perfect square trinomial?

Answer: c = 225

Step-by-step explanation:

Perfect square trinomials come in the form a² + 2ab + b², which is equal to (a + b)². In the presented trinomial, we can immediately identify that <u>a = x, and b² = c</u>, but we need to find the numerical value of c.

To do this, note that the middle term, or <u>2ab, corresponds with (is equal to) 30x</u>. We know that a = x, and thus, <u>2ab = 2bx</u>. Now, 2bx and 30x are corresponding terms; thus, <u>2bx = 30x</u>.

Dividing by 2x on both sides gives us <u>b = 15</u>. Therefore, c = b² = 15² = 225. (As a squared binomial, this would be (x + 15)² as a = x and b = 15.)
