how many numbers did bill wrote if he wrote all the natural numbers between w and v not including w and v

Mathematics

dexar [7]2 years ago

4 0

Answer:

v - w - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Try an experiment with a small, specific set of numbers like:

4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 w = 4 and v = 10.

There are 5 numbers in the list, not counting the first and last. Is this related to the difference between v and w? v - w = 6, one more than 5.

The number of natural numbers between w and v, not including w and v, is v - w - 1.

Set up a proportion and solve the height of the three .

Naddik [55]

Answer:

60 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Setting the proportion up:

x/25=24/10

Cross Multiply.

10x=24*25

10x=600

Divide both sides by 10.

x=60

Carlos has at most $40 to spend on food for a barbeque. He wants to buy hot dogs and hamburgers and then

poizon [28]

Answer:

$8.50

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't know what Alls are, but if Carlos insists, we can calculate how much he can spend on Alls with the expression:

($31.50) + r $\leq$ $40

This says the sum of what Carlos has already spent (hot dogs and hamburgers) plus the amount he spends on Alls (rolls?), r, must be equal to or less than the $40 he has allowed himself to spend.

($31.50) + r $\leq$ $40

r $\leq$ $40 - $31.50

r $\leq$ $8.50

The sum of first three terms of a finite geometric series is -7/10 and their product is -1/125. [Hint: Use a/r, a, and ar to rep

Alchen [17]

Ooh, fun

geometric sequences can be represented as
$a_n=a(r)^{n-1}$
so the first 3 terms are
$a_1=a$
$a_2=a(r)$
$a_2=a(r)^2$

the sum is -7/10
$\frac{-7}{10}=a+ar+ar^2$
and their product is -1/125
$\frac{-1}{125}=(a)(ar)(ar^2)=a^3r^3=(ar)^3$

from the 2nd equation we can take the cube root of both sides to get
$\frac{-1}{5}=ar$
note that a=ar/r and ar²=(ar)r
so now rewrite 1st equation as
$\frac{-7}{10}=\frac{ar}{r}+ar+(ar)r$
subsituting -1/5 for ar
$\frac{-7}{10}=\frac{\frac{-1}{5}}{r}+\frac{-1}{5}+(\frac{-1}{5})r$
which simplifies to
$\frac{-7}{10}=\frac{-1}{5r}+\frac{-1}{5}+\frac{-r}{5}$
multiply both sides by 10r
-7r=-2-2r-2r²
add (2r²+2r+2) to both sides
2r²-5r+2=0
solve using quadratic formula
for $ax^2+bx+c=0$
$x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$
so
for 2r²-5r+2=0
a=2
b=-5
c=2

$r=\frac{-(-5) \pm \sqrt{(-5)^2-4(2)(2)}}{2(2)}$
$r=\frac{5 \pm \sqrt{25-16}}{4}$
$r=\frac{5 \pm \sqrt{9}}{4}$
$r=\frac{5 \pm 3}{4}$
so
$r=\frac{5+3}{4}=\frac{8}{4}=2$ or $r=\frac{5-3}{4}=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}$

use them to solve for the value of a
$\frac{-1}{5}=ar$
$\frac{-1}{5r}=a$
try for r=2 and 1/2
$a=\frac{-1}{10}$ or $a=\frac{-2}{5}$

test each
for a=-1/10 and r=2
a+ar+ar²= $\frac{-1}{10}+\frac{-2}{10}+\frac{-4}{10}=\frac{-7}{10}$
it works

for a=-2/5 and r=1/2
a+ar+ar²= $\frac{-2}{5}+\frac{-1}{5}+\frac{-1}{10}=\frac{-7}{10}$
it works

both have the same terms but one is simplified

the 3 numbers are $\frac{-2}{5}$ , $\frac{-1}{5}$ , and $\frac{-1}{10}$

How Can I Use Decimal Grids to model Tenths?

e-lub [12.9K]

Understand that a decimal is any number written in the base-10 system. In common usage, the term "decimal" refers to a number that uses a decimal point to separate the ones place from tenths, hundredths, etc. Represent decimals using area models. State the fraction (tenths or hundredths) that is equivalent to a given decimal. Compare the values of decimals (tenths or hundredths) using area models and/or a number line. For example, compare the value of 0.8 and 0.21.Find a decimal that has a value between two other decimals. For example, find a decimal with a value between 0.3 and 0.4.
