a movie theater has 24 screens. the ratio of action films to other films is 1:2 in the summer. how many action films are shown?

1 answer:

5 0

12 action films are shown.
This is because if the ratio is 1:2, that means that exactly half of the total amount of movies are action. Thus, to evaluate this problem, you would find half of 24.
$24 \div 2 = 12$

A skier is trying to decide whether or not to buy a season ski pass. A daily pass costs $7373. A season ski pass costs $350350

Gnesinka [82]

The skier would have to go skiing for 3 days..1day would be $98.00 because $73+$25= $98
2days would be $196 $98+$98= $196
3 days would be $294 because $196+$98=$294
4days would be more than a yearly pass $392

Find the general term of sequence defined by these conditions.

disa [49]

Answer:

$\displaystyle a_{n} = (2)^{2n -1} - (3) ^{n-1 }$

Step-by-step explanation:

we want to figure out the general term of the following recurrence relation

$\displaystyle \rm a_{n + 2} - 7a_{n + 1} + 12a_n = 0 \: \: where : \: \:a_1 = 1 \: ,a_2 = 5,$

we are given a linear homogeneous recurrence relation which degree is 2. In order to find the general term ,we need to make it a characteristic equation i.e

${x}^{n} = c_{1} {x}^{n - 1} + c_{2} {x}^{n - 2} + c_{3} {x}^{n -3 } { \dots} + c_{k} {x}^{n - k}$

the steps for solving a linear homogeneous recurrence relation are as follows:

Create the characteristic equation by moving every term to the left-hand side, set equal to zero.
Solve the polynomial by factoring or the quadratic formula.
Determine the form for each solution: distinct roots, repeated roots, or complex roots.
Use initial conditions to find coefficients using systems of equations or matrices.

Step-1:Create the characteristic equation

${x}^{2} - 7x+ 12= 0$
