50, 20, 8, ... Find the 8th term.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Hunter-Best [27]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

<em>0.08192</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 50, 20, 8, ...

The sequence is geometric in nature

The nth term of the geometric sequence is exoressed as;

Tn = ar^{n-1}

a is the first term = 50

r is the common ratio = 20/50 = 8/20 = 2/5

n is the number of term = 8 (since we need the 8th term)

Substitute

T8 = 50(2/5)^{8-1}

T8 = 50(2/5)^7

T8 = 50(128/78,125)

T8 = 0.08192

<em>Hence the 8th term is 0.08192</em>

A football is thrown from the stadium. The height of this football can be represented by the polynomial -16t2 +32t + 20, where t
olasank [31]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

related equation

-16t^2 + 32t + 20 = 0

-4t^2 + 8t + 5 = 0

Δ/4 = 16 + 20 = 36

t1 = (-4 + 6)/-4 = -1/2

t2 = (-4 - 6)/-4 = 5/2

-16(t+1/2)(t-5/2)

-16(2t+1/2)(2t-5/2)

-4(2t+1)(2t-5)

Flying against the wind, an airplane travels 5760 kilometers in 6 hours. Flying with the wind, the same plane travels 6300 kilom
Aleks [24]
<h2>Speed of plane = 1110 kmph</h2><h2>Speed of wind = 150 kmph</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of plane be p and speed of wind be w.

Flying against the wind, an airplane travels 5760 kilometers in 6 hours.

Here

            Speed = (p-w) kmph

            Time = 6 hours

            Distance = 5760 kmph

            Distance = Speed x Time

            5760 = (p-w) x 6

               p-w = 960 -----eqn 1  

Flying with the wind, the same plane travels 6300 kilometers in 5 hours.

Here

            Speed = (p+w) kmph

            Time = 5 hours

            Distance = 6300 kmph

            Distance = Speed x Time

            6300 = (p+w) x 5

               p+w = 1260 -----eqn 2    

eqn 1 + eqn 2

                p-w + p +w =  960 + 1260

                  2p = 2220

                    p = 1110 kmph

Substituting in eqn 2

                1110 + w = 1260

                         w = 150 kmph

Speed of plane = 1110 kmph

Speed of wind = 150 kmph

What is the prime factorization of 45
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

3^2X5

Step-by-step explanation:

Students learn that the prime factorization of a number is the given number written as the product of its prime factors. For example, to find the prime factorization of 45, use a factor tree to find that 45 is 5 x 9, and 9 is 3 x 3. So the prime factorization of 45 is 5 x 3 x 3, or 5 x 3^2.
