Not arithmetic because the difference between each of the terms is not the same.

S₂ - S₁ S₃ - S₂ S₄ - S₃

3 - 2 = 1 4 - 3 = 1 9 - 4 = 5

Not geometric because the ratios between each of the terms is not the same.

$\dfrac{S_2}{S_1}=\dfrac{S_3}{S_2}\qquad \rightarrow \dfrac{3}{2}=\dfrac{4}{3}\qquad \rightarrow \text{cross multiply to get}: 9\neq 8$

Max has 5.50. He has eight more quarters than he does nickels. He had four times as many dimes as he has nickels. How many quart

Oliga [24]

Answer:

<h2>There are 13 quarters, 5 nickels and 20 dimes.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

Max has $5.50.
He has eight more quarters than he does nickels.
He had four times as many dimes as he has nickels.

From these statements, we can deduce algebraical expressions to solve the problem. Let's call $q$ quarters, $n$ nickels and $d$ dimes.

$q=n+8$ (8 more quarters than nickels)

$d=4n$ (he has four times as many dimes as he has nickels).

$0.25q+0.05n+0.10d=5.50$ (Max has a total of $5.50, one quartes is $0.25, one nickel is $0.05 and one dime is $0.10).

Let's replace the first two expressions into the third equation

$0.25(n+8)+0.05n+0.10(4n)=5.50\\0.25n+2+0.05n+0.40n=5.50\\0.70n=5.50-2\\n=\frac{3.50}{0.70}\\ n=5$

There are 5 nickels.

Now, we use this value to find the number of quarters

$q=5+8=13$

There are 13 quarters.

Also, $d=4(5)=20$

There are 20 dimes.

Therefore, there are 13 quarters, 5 nickels and 20 dimes.

On a vacation in Puerto Rico rose jumped off a cliff into a river in El Yunque go forest reserve her height as a function of tim

gayaneshka [121]

Answer: t = 6 s

Step-by-step explanation:

When Rose hit the water, the height of the jump is 0, so: h(t) = 0.

Resolving it, we have:

-16t² + 16t + 480 = 0

To simplify the second degree equation, divided it by 16:

-t² + t + 30 = 0

Now, solve the equation using Bhaskara:

Δ = 1² - 4. (-1) . 30

Δ = 1 + 120

Δ = 121

t = $\frac{-1+\sqrt{121} }{-2}$

t₁ = $\frac{-1 + 11}{-2}$ = - 5

t₂ = $\frac{-11-11}{-2}$ = 6

Since time can be negative, it took t = 6s for Rose to hit the water.
