The turtle population will be 486 after 5 years.
<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:
The general form of a geometric progression or geometric sequence is a, ar, ar², ar³ and so on.
where,
- a = first term
- r = common ratio
<u>The formula to find the nth term in GP is :</u>
nth term = 
The given sequence 6,18,54.
In this sequence,
- The first term, a = 6
- The common ratio, r = 18/6 = 3
5th term = 
⇒ 
⇒ 6
81
⇒ 486
Therefore, after 5 years the population will be 486.
Step-by-step explanation:
I guess the 3.14 is to be used for pi (and not r, which is what we need to find out).
the volume of a cylinder is ground area × height.
the ground area is the area of a circle, which is pi×r².
so, we have
pi×r²×height = 115 cm³
3.14×r²×7.7 = 115 cm³
3.14×r² = 14.93506494...
r² = 4.756390107...
r = 2.18091497... cm
From the equation, it looks like we can set up a triangle like this. One side is x and the other is x + 20 because the northbound car traveled 20 miles farther. The hypotenuse is 100 because they were 100 miles apart.
Next, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for x:
a² + b² = c²
x² + (x + 20)² = 100²
This simplifies to:
x² + x² + 40x + 400 = 10000
2x² + 40x = 9600
2x² + 40x - 9600 = 0
After that, we can divided each side by 2:
x² + 20x - 4800 = 0
Next, we have to factor:
(x - 60)(x + 80) = 0
x = 60, -80
Since we know that distance can't be negative, 60 is the valid answer in this case.
x = 60
x + 20 = 80
Using this information, we know that the westbound car traveled 60 miles and the northbound car traveled 80 miles.
