Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

r is the common ratio.

Third term minus first term is 48.

a₃ - a₁ = 48

a₃ = a₁r²

a₁r² - a₁ = 48

a₁(r²-1) = 48

r²-1 = 48/a₁

Fourth term minus second term is 144.

a₄ - a₂ = 144

a₂ = a₁r

a₄ = a₁r³

a₁r³ - a₁r = 144

a₁r(r²-1) = 144

r²-1 = 144/(a₁r)

48/a₁ = 144/(a₁r)

r = 3

:::::

r²-1 = 48/a₁

a₁ = 6

:::::

a₆ = a₁r⁵ = 1458

The human body has a normal temperature of 98.6°F. Doctors will get worried if a sick patient has a temperature that varies from
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

|T- 98.6| \geq 3

And in order to solve this we have two possibilities:

Solution 1

T -98.6 \leq -3

And solving for T we got:

T \leq 98.6- 3

T\leq 95.6

Solution 2

And the other options would be:

T -98.6 \geq 3

T \geq 101.6

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we can define the variable os interest T as the real temperature and we know that if we are 3 F more than the value of 98.6 we will be unhealthy so we can set up the following equation:

|T- 98.6| \geq 3

And in order to solve this we have two possibilities:

Solution 1

T -98.6 \leq -3

And solving for T we got:

T \leq 98.6- 3

T\leq 95.6

Solution 2

And the other options would be:

T -98.6 \geq 3

T \geq 101.6

Find the area of this figure.
umka2103 [35]
Rectangle

l = 7.2 - 1.7 = 5.5 ft            b = 3.4 ft

Semicircle

r = 1.7 ft

Shaded region = area of rectangle + area of semicircle

= l x b + πr²/2

= 5.5 x 3.4 + 3.14 x 1.7 x 1.7 x 1/2

= 18.7 + 4.5373

= 23.2373 ft²
