Answer:

Neither

Step-by-step explanation:

If the sequence was geometric, each term would be multiplied by the same multiplier to get to the next one. We can check if the multiplier is the same by taking a term and dividing it by the term before it. For example,

-4/3.5=-1.14285714

-7.5/-4=1.87500

The multiplier between the terms aren't the same so it's not geometric.

For arithmetic, the distances between each term would be the same, and we can take the same idea from the geometric sequence, but use subtraction instead of division

-4-3,5=-7.5

-7.5-(-4)=-3.5

Again, the distances aren't the same, so it's not arithmetic.

Ruby signed up for a frequent-filer program. She receives 3400frequent-flier miles for the first round trip and 1200 miles for a

vovangra [49]

Answer: 8200 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the question, since she wants to go for five round trips, her first round trip is fixed at 3400 and she will have 4 more additional trips. This can them be calculated as:

= 3400 + 1200x

x = additional trips = 4

We then put the value of x into the equation

= 3400 + 1200x

= 3400 + 1200(4)

= 3400 + 4800

= 8200

She'll have 8200 mile after 5 round trips

Patricia is making two sizes of hamburgers: 0.5 pound and 0.25 pound. How many of each size of hamburger could she make with 3.7

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

The graph in the attached figure

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> the number of hamburgers of $0.5$ pounds

y-----> the number of hamburgers of $0.25$ pounds

we know that

The inequality that represent the situation is equal to

$0.5x+0.25y\leq3.75$

The solution of the inequality is the triangular shaded area

The sine of angle θ is 0.3.<br><br> What is cos(θ)?

Sergio [31]

The answer:

$\sqrt{9}1 /10$

Explanation to your question:

Since the sin of theta is 0.3, we can reasonably deduct that the opposite side to theta has a ration of 3 to 10 to that of the hypotenuse. Thus, the adjacent side to theta, using the pythagorean theorem, will be root91. Therefore, since the cosine of theta is the adjacent/hypotenuse, we get root 91/10
