Answer:

Penguins can swim at a speed of 19.77 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since penguins can swim at speeds of up to 29 feet per second, to convert this speed to miles per hour, knowing that 1 mile is equal to 5280 feet, the following calculation must be performed:

1 hour = 60 minutes

1 minute = 60 seconds

1 hour = 60x60 seconds = 3,600 seconds

29 x 3,600 = feet per hour = 104,400

104,400 / 5,280 = miles per hour = 19.77

Thus, penguins can swim at a speed of 19.77 miles per hour.

Wich of the following is the correct graph of solution to the inequality -8 >-5x+2>-38
zimovet [89]
-5x + 2 > -38
-5x > -40
x < 8

-5x + 2 < -8
-5x < -10
x > 2

so the inequality becomes
2 < x < 8

so the graph will be a straight line with open circles on 2 and 8 and shading in between these values.

A sequence can be generated by using an=4a(n-1)
WITCHER [35]
This problem is half understanding the question and half just plugging in numbers.

Understanding the Question:
So its saying that n = whole number bigger than one, making n = 2, 3, 4, 5, etc.

Now try plugging any number n into the a_n = 4a_{n-1} equation. Let's use 2 to make it simple. If you plug in 2, you get:
a_2 = 4a_{2-1}\\&#10;a_2 = 4a_1
Remember that the subscripts (the small numbers in the corner) are simply the term number. a_1 is term 1, a_2 is term 2, etc. The equation is saying that "term 2 = 4 times term 1."

If you keep plugging in random numbers for n, you'll see that the equation basically says, "a term = 4 times the term right before it." That makes it easy to plug and chug to get our answer.

Plugging and Chugging
Now we understand the question is asking for the first 4 terms, and each term is 4 times the last term. You're told that term 1, a_1 = 6. That makes the next four terms:

Term 2
a_2 = 4a_{2-1}\\&#10; a_2 = 4a_1\\&#10; a_2 = 4(6)\\&#10; a_2 = 24

Term 3
a_3 = 4a_{3-1}\\ a_3 = 4a_2\\ a_3 = 4(24)\\ a_3 = 96

Term 4
a_4 = 4a_{4-1}\\ a_4 = 4a_3\\ a_4 = 4(96)\\ a_4 = 384

Your first 4 terms are 4, 24, 96, and 384.
