Answer:

The rate of riders to cars is 14 divided by 2. So the unit rate is 7 riders per car. Multiply 7 riders by 12 cars to find that 84 riders can fit on the roller coaster at one time.

I want to say it's 84 combined because two roller coaters can hold 14 so seperately it's 7. 7x12=84 so I believe the answer is 84. I'm sorry if it's wrong.

Might have to experiment a bit to choose the right answer.

In A, the first term is 456 and the common difference is 10.  Each time we have a new term, the next one is the same except that 10 is added.

Suppose n were 1000.  Then we'd have 456 + (1000)(10) = 10456

In B, the first term is 5 and the common ratio is 3.  From 5 we get 15 by mult. 5 by 3.  Similarly, from 135 we get 405 by mult. 135 by 3.  This is a geom. series with first term 5 and common ratio 3.   a_n = a_0*(3)^(n-1).
So if n were to reach 1000, the 1000th term would be 5*3^999, which is a very large number, certainly more than the 10456 you'd reach in A, above.

Can you now examine C and D in the same manner, and then choose the greatest final value?  Safe to continue using n = 1000.

An equilateral triangle has a side length of 6. What is the height of the triangle?
vlabodo [156]
Since the height of an equilateral triangle in terms of its side s is s√3/2, the height of the triangle is 6√3/2 = 3√3 and so the area is (1/2)(6)(3√3) = 9√3. 

<span>If we draw a horizontal line a height of h from the base of the triangle, the region is split into two regions: the lower region consisting of a trapezoid of height h and the upper region consisting of a triangle of height 3√3 - h. </span>

<span>Since the upper triangle and the triangle itself are similar triangles, the base and height are proportional. If we let x denote the base of the length of the upper triangle, we have: </span>

<span>(S. of small triangle)/(S. of big triangle) = (Ht. of small triangle)/(Ht. of big triangle) </span>
<span>==> x/6 = (3√3 - h)/(3√3) </span>
<span>==> x = (6√3 - 2h)/√3 </span>

<span>Thus, the area of the upper triangle is: </span>

<span>A = (1/2)[(6√3 - 2h)/√3](3√3 - h) = [(6√3 - 2h)(3√3 - h)]/(2√3). </span>
<span>(Made a dumb mistake about the height here for some reason) </span>

<span>Since we require that the area of this triangle is to be half of the total area (9√3/2), we need to solve: </span>

<span>[(6√3 - 2h)(3√3 - h)]/(2√3) = 9√3/2 </span>
<span>==> (6√3 - 2h)(3√3 - h) = 27 </span>
<span>==> 54 - 6h√3 - 6h√3 + 2h^2 = 27 </span>
<span>==> 2h^2 - 12h√3 + 27 = 0. </span>

<span>Solving with the Quadratic Formula gives: </span>

<span>h = (6√3 + 3√6)/2 ≈ 8.87 units and h = (6√3 - 3√6)/2 ≈ 1.52 units. </span>

<span>Since h = (6√3 + 3√6)/2 would place the line outside of the triangle, we pick h = (6√3 - 3√6)/2. </span>

<span>Therefore, the line should be ==> (6√3 - 3√6)/2 units from the base. </span>

<span>I hope this helps! ^^ Brainliest Please?</span><span>

The value of a car dropped from $7400 to $6800 over the last year. What percent decrease is this?
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

8.1% decrease

Step by step

To find precentage decrease we use formula:

Percent decrease= original amount-new amount/original amount(100%)

percent decrease= 7,400-6,800/7,400(100%)=300/37=8.1%
