Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the inequality

0.21x + 0.05(17 - x) > 2.55 where x is the amount of 21% lotion needed

Given

0.21x + 0.05(17 - x) > 2.55

Open the parenthesis

0.21x + 0.85-0.05x > 2.55

Collect like terms

0.21x-0.05x+0.85>2.55

0.16x+0.85>2.55

0.16x>2.55-0.85

0.16x > 1.7

x > 1.7/0.16

x > 10.625

Hence she will need 21% lotion approximately greater than 10 ounces

16) y varies directly as x is the same thing as y=mx where m is the constant
for the first equation where the length is 7 and weight is 49 there fore
7=m49 in which m=1/7 so to find the length of the 2nd equation
y=m63
y=1/7 x63
y=9 inches


17)The raiser with the $6.25 would raise more money because if 25 ticket is sold and money received is $125 then each ticket is sold for $5  which means if the ticket is sold for $6.25 then 25 would bring in $156.25

Identify a pattern in the given list of numbers. Then use this pattern to find the next number.
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

The given sequence is geometric sequence

In the given pattern we have next number is a_5=\frac{1}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given numbers are 64,-16,4,-1

To identify the pattern of the given numbers :

Let a_1=64, a_2=-16 ,a_3=4  and a_4=-1

To find the next number that is a_5

common ratio r=\frac{a_2}{a_1}

=\frac{-16}{64}

r=-\frac{1}{4}

r=\frac{a_3}{a_2}

=\frac{4}{-16}

r=-\frac{1}{4}

Therefore the common ration is r=-\frac{1}{4}

Therefore the given sequence is geometric sequence

The nth term of the geometric sequence is a_n=a_1r^{n-1}

Now find the 5th term so put n=5 , a_1=64andr=\frac{-1}{4} we have

a_5=64(\frac{-1}{4})^{5-1}

=64(\frac{-1}{4})^{4}

=64(\frac{1}{4})^{4}

=64(\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4})

=\frac{1}{4}

Therefore a_5=\frac{1}{4}
