Given:

The table for a geometric sequence.

To find:

The formula for the given sequence and the 10th term of the sequence.

Solution:

In the given geometric sequence, the first term is 1120 and the common ratio is:

$r=\dfrac{a_2}{a_1}$

$r=\dfrac{560}{1120}$

$r=0.5$

The nth term of a geometric sequence is:

$a_n=ar^{n-1}$

Where a is the first term and r is the common ratio.

Putting $a=1120, r=0.5$ , we get

$a_n=1120(0.5)^{n-1}$

Therefore, the required formula for the given sequence is $a_n=1120(0.5)^{n-1}$ .

We need to find the 10th term of the given sequence. So, substituting $n=10$ in the above formula.

$a_{10}=1120(0.5)^{10-1}$

$a_{10}=1120(0.5)^{9}$

$a_{10}=1120(0.001953125)$

$a_{10}=2.1875$

Therefore, the 10th term of the given sequence is 2.1875.

a dime is dropped from a building at 1.024 ft . if the equation for height as a function of time is h(t)=-16t^2+ initial height

babunello [35]

Answer:

The dime hits the ground after 8 sec.

Step-by-step explanation:

Set h(t) = -16t^2 + h(0) equal to 0: -16t^2 + 1,024 ft = 0, or:

16t^2 = 1,024 ft, or:

t^2 = 64 ft^2

Then t = +8 sec

The dime hits the ground after 8 sec.

(a). The solutions are 0 and ⁸/₃.

(b). The solutions are 1 and ¹³/₃.

(c). The equation has no solution.

(d). The only solution is ²¹/₂₀.

(e). The equation has no solution.

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

These are the problems with the absolute value of a function.

For all real numbers x,

$\boxed{ \ |f(x)|=\left \{ {{f(x), for \ f(x) \geq 0} \atop {-f(x), for \ f(x) < 0}} \right. \ }$

Problem (a)

|4 – 3x| = |-4|

|4 – 3x| = 4

Case 1

$\boxed{ \ 4 - 3x \geq 0 \ } \rightarrow \boxed{ \ 4\geq 3x \ } \rightarrow \boxed{ \ x\leq \frac{4}{3} \ }$

For 4 – 3x = 4

Subtract both sides by four.

-3x = 0

Divide both sides by -3.

x = 0

Since $\boxed{ \ 0\leq \frac{4}{3} \ }$ , x = 0 is a solution.

Case 2

$\boxed{ \ 4 - 3x < 0 \ } \rightarrow \boxed{ \ 4 < 3x \ } \rightarrow \boxed{ \ x > \frac{4}{3} \ }$

For -(4 – 3x) = 4

-4 + 3x = 4

Add both sides by four.

3x = 8

Divide both sides by three.

$x = \frac{8}{3}$

Since $\boxed{ \ \frac{8}{3} > \frac{4}{3} \ }$ , $\boxed{ \ x = \frac{8}{3} \ }$ is a solution.

Hence, the solutions are $\boxed{ \ 0 \ and \ \frac{8}{3} \ }$

Problem (b)

2|3x - 8| = 10

Divide both sides by two.

|3x - 8| = 5

Case 1

$\boxed{ \ 3x - 8 \geq 0 \ } \rightarrow \boxed{ \ 3x\geq 8 \ } \rightarrow \boxed{ \ x\geq \frac{8}{3} \ }$

For 3x - 8 = 5

Add both sides by eight.

3x = 13

Divide both sides by three.

$x = \frac{13}{3}$

Since $\boxed{ \ \frac{13}{3} \geq \frac{4}{3} \ }$ , $\boxed{ \ x = \frac{13}{3} \ }$ is a solution.

Case 2

$\boxed{ \ 3x - 8 < 0 \ } \rightarrow \boxed{ \ 3x < 8 \ } \rightarrow \boxed{ \ x < \frac{8}{3} \ }$

For -(3x – 8) = 5

-3x + 8 = 5

Subtract both sides by eight.

-3x = -3

Divide both sides by -3.

x = 1

Since $\boxed{ \ 1 < \frac{8}{3} \ }$ , $\boxed{ \ x = 1 \ }$ is a solution.

Hence, the solutions are $\boxed{ \ 1 \ and \ \frac{13}{3} \ }$

————————

Problem (c)

2x + |3x - 8| = -4

Subtracting both sides by 2x.

|3x - 8| = -2x – 4

Case 1

$\boxed{ \ 3x - 8 \geq 0 \ } \rightarrow \boxed{ \ 3x\geq 8 \ } \rightarrow \boxed{ \ x\geq \frac{8}{3} \ }$

For 3x – 8 = -2x – 4

3x + 2x = 8 – 4

5x = 4

$x = \frac{4}{5}$

Since $\boxed{ \ \frac{4}{5} \ngeq \frac{8}{3} \ }$ , $\boxed{ \ x = \frac{4}{5} \ }$ is not a solution.

Case 2

$\boxed{ \ 3x - 8 < 0 \ } \rightarrow \boxed{ \ 3x < 8 \ } \rightarrow \boxed{ \ x < \frac{8}{3} \ }$

For -(3x - 8) = -2x – 4

-3x + 8 = -2x – 4

2x – 3x = -8 – 4

-x = -12

x = 12

Since $\boxed{ \ 12 \nless \frac{8}{3} \ }$ , $\boxed{ \ x = 12 \ }$ is not a solution.

Hence, the equation has no solution.

Problem (d)

5|2x - 3| = 2|3 - 5x|

Let’s take the square of both sides. Then,

[5(2x - 3)]² = [2(3 - 5x)]²

(10x – 15)² = (6 – 10x)²

(10x - 15)² - (6 - 10x)² = 0

According to this formula $\boxed{ \ a^2 - b^2 = (a + b)(a - b) \ }$

$[(10x - 15) + (6 - 10x)][(10x - 15) - (6 - 10x)]] = 0$

(-9)(20x - 21) = 0

Dividing both sides by -9.

20x - 21 = 0

20x = 21

$x = \frac{21}{20}$

The only solution is $\boxed{ \ \frac{21}{20} \ }$

————————

Problem (e)

2x + |8 - 3x| = |x - 4|

We need to separate into four cases since we don’t know whether 8 – 3x and x – 4 are positive or negative. We cannot square both sides because there is a function of 2x.

Case 1

8 – 3x is positive (or 8 - 3x > 0)
x – 4 is positive (or x - 4 > 0)

2x + 8 – 3x = x – 4

8 – x = x – 4

-2x = -12

x = 6

Substitute x = 6 into 8 – 3x ⇒ 8 – 3(6) < 0, it doesn’t work, even though when we substitute x = 6 into x - 4 it does work.

Case 2

8 – 3x is positive (or 8 - 3x > 0)
x – 4 is negative (or x - 4 < 0)

2x + 8 – 3x = -(x – 4)

8 – x = -x + 4

x – x = = 4 - 8

It cannot be determined.

Case 3

8 – 3x is negative (or 8 - 3x < 0)
x – 4 is positive. (or x - 4 > 0)

2x + (-(8 – 3x)) = x – 4

2x – 8 + 3x = x - 4

5x – x = 8 – 4

4x = 4

x = 1

Substitute x = 1 into 8 - 3x, $\boxed{ \ 8 - 3(1) \nless 0 \ }$ , it doesn’t work. Likewise, when we substitute x = 1 into x – 4, $\boxed{ \ 1 - 4 \not> 0 \ }$

Case 4

8 – 3x is negative (or 8 - 3x < 0)
x – 4 is negative (or x - 4 < 0)

2x + (-(8 – 3x)) = -(x – 4)

2x – 8 + 3x = -x + 4

5x + x = 8 – 4

6x = 4

$\boxed{ \ x=\frac{4}{6} \rightarrow x = \frac{2}{3} \ }$

Substitute $x = \frac{2}{3} \ into \ 8-3x$ , $\boxed{ \ 8 - 3 \bigg(\frac{2}{3}\bigg) \not< 0 \ }$ , it doesn’t work. Even though when we substitute $x = \frac{2}{3} \ into \ x-4$ , $\boxed{ \ \bigg(\frac{2}{3}\bigg) - 4 < 0 \ }$ it does work.

Hence, the equation has no solution.
