Flura [38]2 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there's no one one number you can add to one number in the sequence to get to the next number, this is not arithmetic. It must be geometric. We need then to find the common ratio. Let's start with the first 2 numbers, find a ratio, and then use it to test for accuracy.

10x = 15 and

x = \frac{15}{10}=\frac{3}{2} If this is in fact a geometric sequence witha common ratio of 3/2, we should be able to multiply 15 by 3/2 to get to the next number in the sequence. Let's try it out:

15(\frac{3}{2})= \frac{45}{2}=22.5 Good. So the common ratio is 3/2. The formula for an explicit geometric formula is

A_n=a_1(r)^{n-1 where a1 is the first number in the sequence and r is the common ratio. Filling in:

A_n=10(\frac{3}{2})^{n-1

What time between 6pm and 6:30 pm the hour and minutes hands be exactly 125* degree apart
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

6:10pm

Step-by-step explanation:

At 6:00 the hands are 180° apart.

The hour hand moves 1/12 of circle per hour = 30° per hour = 0.5° per minute.

The minute hand moves 1/60 of the circle per minute = 6° per minute

Angle between the hands decreases by 6-0.5 = 5.5° per minute.

180 - 5.5t = 125

t = 125/5.5 = 10 minutes

The hands are 125° apart at t minutes after 6:00, or 6:10.
