Answer:

Sequence 1:  arithmetic; Sequence 2:  Geometric

Step-by-step explanation:

An arithmetic sequence is one in which each term is found by adding a constant to the previous term.  In sequence 1, we see that we add -16 to each term to find the next one; that makes this an arithmetic sequence.

A geometric sequence is one in which each term is found by multiplying a constant to the previous term.  In sequence 2, we see that we multiply 0.5 by each term to find the next one; that makes this a geometric sequence.

Sequence 1 is arithmetic because it is being subtracted by 16.

Sequence 2 is geometric because it is being divided by 2.

Arithmetic is when you're adding or subtracted and geometric is when you multiplying or dividing.

Sally launches a rocket off of a platform. The height of the rocket, in meters, can be modeled by the function, h(x) = -5(x - 3)
Lorico [155]

Answer:

Time = 3secs

Max height = 56m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the height reached by the rocket modeled by the equation;

h(x) = -5(x - 3)² + 56 where;

x is in seconds

The rocket velocity at its maximum height is zero.

Hence dh/dx = 0

dh/dx = 2(-5)(x-3)

dh/dx = -10(x-3)

Since dh/dx = 0

0 = -10(x-3)

0 = -10x + 30

10x = 30

x = 3secs

<em>Hence it takes 3 secs to reach the maximum height.</em>

Get the maximum height reached by the rocket. Substitute x = 3 into the equation given;

Recall that:

h(x) = -5(x - 3)² + 56

If x  = 3

h(3) = -5(3 - 3)² + 56

h(3) = 0 + 56

h(3) = 56

<em>Hence the maximum height that the rocket reaches is 56m</em>

Jesus bought 5/6 pounds of peanuts. He ate 3/4 pound of the peanuts with his friends. how much does Jesus have left?
Bad White [126]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total peanuts = 5/6pounds

They ate = 3/4 of the peanut

= 3/4 × 5/6 = 5/8pounds

They eat 5/8 pounds

Amount left = 5/6 - 5/8

= (20 - 15)/24

= 5/24pounds

Jesus had 5/24 pounds of peanuts left
