The cross-section is a rectangle. Its height is the same as the height of the prism, while its length is not necessarily the same but certainly perpendicular to the height.
Answer:
Part a) The rule of the sequence is 
Part b) The height of the ball will be 
Step-by-step explanation:
Part a) Write a rule for the sequence using centimeters. The initial height is given by the term n = 1.
we know that
In a <u>Geometric Sequence</u> each term is found by multiplying the previous term by a constant called the common ratio (r)
In this problem we have a geometric sequence
Let
n-----> the number of path
a1 ----> is the initial height
r -----> the common ratio
we have


The rule for the sequence is equal to

substitute

Part b) What height will the ball be at the top of the third path?
For n=3
substitute in the equation


Answer:
x = - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
- 8x + 32 = 4(- 2 - 4x) ← distribute parenthesis on right side
- 8x + 32 = - 8 - 16x ( add 16x to both sides )
8x + 32 = - 8 ( subtract 32 from both sides )
8x = - 40 ( divide both sides by 8 )
x = - 5
Answer:
at matilda's new job, she will make a rounded salary of $69,000 per year.
Step-by-step explanation:
when solving a problem like this, you have to take her current salary ($64,000 per year) and multiply it to the salary increase percentage by first turning the percentage into a decimal. to turn the percentage into a decimal, you imagine a tiny dot to the right of the 8 like this:
8.
and then you have to move that little dot to the left two times recreating it into .08. you multiply .08 (the salary increase percentage) by her current salary ($64,000) and then also add that number to matilda's current salary to come up with the answer you can round. I'll give you an example of my proscess just so I can give a clear visual of my explanation.
step one:
$64,000
x .08
-------------
5,120
step 2:
$64,000
+$5,120
-------------
$69,120
step 3:
$69,120 is rounded up to the nearest thousands is approximately $69,000
answer: $69,000
