Answer:

Rational.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it can be put into a fraction, negative or positive it is clearly rational. Irrational numbers are numbers we can never know the true value because they repeat forever (pi for example)

A camel had to walk a distance of 11,040 m. After 4 hours, he still had to walk 920 m. How far did the camel walk per hour?

sergey [27]

He walked 2,525 m per an hour.

11,040 - 920 = 10,100

10,100 / 4 = 2,525

Can someone help me with this?

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Let 'a' be the first term, 'r' be the common ratio and 'n' be the number of terms

Series = 2+6+18.......= 2+2•3¹+ 2•3².......= 728

Now,

$Sum = \frac{a( {r}^{n} - 1) }{(r - 1)} \\$

So,

$\frac{a( {r}^{n} - 1)}{(r - 1)} = 728 \\ \frac{2( {3}^{n} - 1) }{(3 - 1)} = 728 \\ \frac{2( {3}^{n} - 1) }{2} = 728 \\ {3}^{n} - 1 = 728 \\ {3}^{n}=728+1\\ {3}^{n} = 729 \\ {3}^{n} = {3}^{6} \\ \boxed{ n = 6}$

Therefore, number of terms is 6

6 is the right answer.

Consider the sequence given by a plus 8 pattern: 2, 10, 18, 26, ….

Finger [1]

Answer:

n = 1 second formula

n = 0 first formula

Step-by-step explanation:

I answer this in the other question you put, here it is again.

This is easy to get. We know the sequence cause it follows a pattern of 8, so let's try some values of n from 1 to 4, to get those numbers with the first formula:

n = 1,2,3,4

f(1) = 8(1) + 2 = 10

f(2) = 8(2) + 2 = 18

f(3) = 8(3) + 2 = 26

f(4) = 8(4) + 2 = 34

As you can see, with the first formula, the first term is 10, and not 2. The only way to get 2 with n = 1 is with the second formula:

f(1) = 8(1) - 6 = 2

f(2) = 8(2) - 6 = 10

f(3) = 8(3) - 6 = 18

f(4) = 8(4) - 6 = 26

With n = 1, the second formula was better and correct.

The first formula could be right only beggining with n = 0. Here is the proof:

f(0) = 8(0) + 2 = 2

a film canister in the shape of a cylinder has a height of 8 centimeters and a volume of the film canister. write an equation fo

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

Part a) The equation for the volume of the film canister is

$32\pi=\pi r^{2}(8)$

Part b) The radius of the film canister is $2\ cm$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The complete question is</em></u>

A film canister in the shape of a cylinder has a height of 8 centimeters and a volume of 32π cubic centimeters.

a. Write an equation for the volume of the film canister.

b. What is the radius of the film canister?

Part a) Write an equation for the volume of the film canister

we know that

The volume of a cylinder is equal to

$V=\pi r^{2} h$

where

r is the radius of the circular base

h is the height of the cylinder

we have

$V=32\pi\ cm^3$

$h=8\ cm$

substitute

$32\pi=\pi r^{2}(8)$ ----> equation for the volume of the film canister

Part b) What is the radius of the film canister?

we have

$32\pi=\pi r^{2}(8)$

$32\pi=8\pi r^{2}$

Simplify

Divide by 8π both sides

$4=r^{2}$

square root both sides

$r=2\ cm$
