Answer:

12 years

Step-by-step explanation:

blue spruce = 0.5 ft/yr & 4 ft tall

Hemlock = 0.33 ft/yr & 6 ft tall

x = number of years

spruce       hemlock

(4+0.5x)   =   (6+0.33x)

0.17x = 2

12 years

Which of the following is an arithmetic sequence? A.-2, 4, -6, 8, ... B.2, 4, 8, 16, ... C.-8, -6, -4, -2, ...
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

C. -8, -6, -4, -2, ...

Step-by-step explanation:

An arithmetic sequence increases by the same amount every time through addition or subtraction. There is a common difference.

A: -2, 4, -6, 8, ... If there were a common difference, the numbers would not switch between being positive and back to negative. The numbers would either keep going positive or keep going negative.

B: 2, 4, 8, 16, ... The common difference between 16 and 8 is 16 - 8 = 8. The difference between 8 and 4 is 8 - 4 = 4. Since the difference changes between the numbers, this is not an arithmetic sequence.

C. -8, -6, -4, -2, ... The common difference between -2 and -4 is -2 - (-4) = -2 + 4 = 2. The difference between -4 and -6 is -4 - (-6) = -4 + 6 = 2. The difference between -6 and -8 is -6 - (-8) = -6 + 8 = 2. Since the common difference is always two, this is an arithmetic sequence.

Hope this helps!

A snail can move 1/30 miles in 1/3 hour. How fast does a snail move in miles /hours
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:             1/10 miles/hour

To find how fast a snail moves in miles per hour, we can find the unit rate using a proportion.

<h2>Unit Rate</h2>

The unit rate is the amount per one unit. In this problem, the unit is for one hour. One way to find the unit rate is by using a proportion.

<h2>Proportions</h2>

Proportions look like two fractions set equal to each other with a missing variable to solve.

<h3>State our variables</h3>

let <em>x</em> be the number of miles per hour

<h3>Write a proportion</h3>

The first fraction has a number for the numerator (top) and denominator (bottom), because the question gives us the information. The second fraction has a missing value, <em>x</em>, that we are solving for. We can write <em>x</em> in the numerator.

\displaystyle{\frac{\frac{1}{30}\ mi}{\frac{1}{3}\ hr} = \frac{x\ mi}{1\ hr}}

<h2>Solve</h2>

We can solve by finding the scale factor. The scale factor is the number we can multiply the numerator by to find <em>x</em>.

<h3>Find the scale factor</h3>

Start with the proportion.

\displaystyle{\frac{\frac{1}{30}\ mi}{\frac{1}{3}\ hr} = \frac{x\ mi}{1\ hr}}

To find the scale factor,

  1. Take the denominator from the fraction with a variable: 1\ hr
  2. Take the denominator from the fraction that has no variable:  \frac{1}{3}\ hr
  3. Divide step 1 by step 2 and solve:  1\ hr\ \div\ \frac{1}{3}\ hr = 3

Our scale factor is <u>3</u>.

<h3>Solve for x</h3>

We can find <em>x</em> by multiplying the numerator in the first fraction by the scale factor. This is because <em>x</em> is also in the numerator.

\displaystyle{\frac{\frac{1}{30}\ mi}{\frac{1}{3}\ hr} = \frac{(\frac{1}{30}\ mi)*3}{1\ hr}}

\displaystyle{\frac{\frac{1}{30}\ mi}{\frac{1}{3}\ hr} = \frac{\frac{3}{30}\ mi}{1\ hr}}

Simplify 3/30 by dividing the fraction by 3.

\displaystyle{\frac{\frac{1}{30}\ mi}{\frac{1}{3}\ hr} = \frac{\frac{1}{10}\ mi}{1\ hr}}

x = 1/10

∴ a snail moves 1/10 miles per hour.

A projectile is launched upward from a height of 704 feet with an initial velocity of 112 ft/s. The equation gives the height h
Feliz [49]
We are given the data ho equal to 704 feet and vo equal to 112 feet per second. We apply then kinematics equation: h = ho + vot - 1/2 gt2. Substituting to the given equation, 
h = 704 + 112t - 1/2 * 32*t2when h is equal to zero,0 = 704 + 112t - 1/2 * 32*t2t is equal to 11 seconds
