If 2+2 is 4 and 5+5 is 10 what the hell is this

In an arithmetic sequence, the nth term an is given by the formula an=a1+(n−1)d, where a1 is the first term and d is the commo

Answer:

$a_{10} = \frac{10}{65536}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step to solving this problem is verifying if this sequence is an arithmetic sequence or a geometric sequence.

This sequence is arithmetic if:

$a_{3} - a_{2} = a_{2} - a_{1}$

We have that:

$a_{3} = 40, a_{2} = 10, a_{3} = \frac{5}{2}$

$a_{3} - a_{2} = a_{2} - a_{1}$

$\frac{5}{2} - 10 = 10 - 40$

$\frac{-15}{2} \neq -30$

This is not an arithmetic sequence.

This sequence is geometric if:

$\frac{a_{3}}{a_{2}} = \frac{a_{2}}{a_{1}}$

$\frac{\frac{5}[2}}{10} = \frac{10}{40}$

$\frac{5}{20} = \frac{1}{4}$

$\frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{4}$

This is a geometric sequence, in which:

The first term is 40, so $a_{1} = 40$

The common ratio is $\frac{1}{4}$ , so $r = \frac{1}{4}$ .

We have that:

$a_{n} = a_{1}*r^{n-1}$

The 10th term is $a_{10}$ . So:

$a_{10} = a_{1}*r^{9}$

$a_{10} = 40*(\frac{1}{4})^{9}$

$a_{10} = \frac{40}{262144}$

Simplifying by 4, we have:

$a_{10} = \frac{10}{65536}$

3x^2-4x+1, match the following

il63 [147K]

Answer:

x = variable

3 = coefficient

1 = constant

3x^2-4x+1 = algebraic expression

2 = degree

Step-by-step explanation:

variables are typically the letters in equations (usually x and y)

coefficients are the numbers attached to the variables

constants don't have any variables attached

algebraic expressions are the full expression

degrees are the small numbers in the top right corners on either constants, variables or coefficients

Hope this helps!

Well, if he shoots 15 shots in 5 minutes then that means he shoots 3 per minute.

3 x 12 = 36

In 12 minutes, he will have shot 36 shots.

Calculate the flux of the vector field F⃗ (x,y,z)=(exy+9z+4)i⃗ +(exy+4z+9)j⃗ +(9z+exy)k⃗ through the square of side length 3 wit

ikadub [295]

The square (call it $S$ ) has one vertex at the origin (0, 0, 0) and one edge on the y-axis, which tells us another vertex is (0, 3, 0). The normal vector to the plane is $\vec n=\vec\imath-\vec k$ , which is enough information to figure out the equation of the plane containing $S$ :

$(x\,\vec\imath+y\,\vec\jmath+z\,\vec k)\cdot(\vec\imath-\vec k)=0\implies x-z=0\implies z=x$

We can parameterize this surface by

$\vec s(x,y)=x\,\vec\imath+y\,\vec\jmath+x\,\vec k$

for $0\le x\le\frac3{\sqrt2}$ and $0\le y\le3$ . Then the flux of $\vec F$ , assumed to be

$\vec F(x,y,z)=(e^{xy}+9z+4)\,\vec\imath+(e^{xy}+4z+9)\,\vec\jmath+(9ze^{xy})\,\vec k$ ,

is

$\displaystyle\iint_S\vec F(x,y,z)\cdot\mathrm d\vec S=\iint_S\vec F(\vec s(x,y))\cdot\vec n\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy$

$=\displaystyle\int_0^3\int_0^{3/\sqrt2}\left((4+e^{xy}+9x)\,\vec\imath+(9+e^{xy}+4x)\,\vec\jmath+(e^{xy}+9x)\,\vec k\right)\cdot(\vec\imath-\vec k)\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy$

$=\displaystyle\int_0^3\int_0^{3/\sqrt2}4\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy=\boxed{18\sqrt2}$
