Answer:
omg thank you I needed this answer
Step-by-step explanation:
the introduction of a fraction tells us that we are dealing with multiplications, and therefore a geometric sequence (where every new term is created by multiplying the previous term by a constant factor, the ratio r).
I think your teacher made a mistake, or you made one when typing the question in here.
there is no factor r that creates
15×r = 9
and
9×r = 5/27
it would mean that
15 × r² = 5/27
r² = 5/27 / 15 = 5/27 × 1/15 = 5/405 = 1/81
r = 1/9
but 15 × 1/9 = 5 × 1/3 = 5/3 is NOT 9
and 9 × 1/9 = 9/9 = 1 is NOT 5/27
so, this can't be right.
on the other hand
15 × r = 9
r = 9/15 = 3/5
and then
9 × 3/5 = 27/5
so, either the sequence should have been
15, 5/3, 5/27
or (and I suspect this to be true)
15, 9, 27/5
under that assumption we have
s1 = 15
r = 3/5
sn = sn-1 × r = s1 × r^(n-1) = 15 × (3/5)^(n-1)
s10 = 15 × (3/5)⁹ = 15 × 19683/1953125 =
= 3 × 19683/390625 = 59049/390625 =
= 0.15116544 ≈ 0.151
The volume of the trough is V(w) = w³ + 20w² - 429w and the rate of change of the volume over a width of 38 inches to 53 inches is 4695 in³/in
<h3>What is an
equation?</h3>
An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more variables and numbers.
Let w represent the width, hence:
length = w + 33, height = w - 13
Volume (V) = w(w + 33)(w - 13) = w³ + 20w² - 429w
V(w) = w³ + 20w² - 429w
Rate of change = dV/dw = 3w² + 40w - 429
When w = 38, dV/dw = 3(38)² + 40(38) - 429 = 5423
When w = 53, dV/dw = 3(53)² + 40(53) - 429 = 10118
Rate = 10118 - 5423 = 4695 in³/in
The volume of the trough is V(w) = w³ + 20w² - 429w and the rate of change of the volume over a width of 38 inches to 53 inches is 4695 in³/in
