Gouilleul Sequence.

Mathematics
1 answer:
harkovskaia [24]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

No idea what a gouilleul Sequence is, but hopefully it will help to show how I would find the answer.

A geometric  sequence means a term is multiplied by something over and over So say we start with 100 and the common ratio is .5 then the sequence would go 100,50,25,12.5,6.25 and so on.  Another way of writing it is:

100*.5^0 = 100

100*5^1 = 50

100*.5^2 = 100*.25 = 25

and so on.  

ANyway, here we have the first and fourth term.  so that's 3.5*x^0 and 3.5*x^3.  Keep in mind the exponent will be n-1 when the term you want to find is the nth term.  Anyway, we know 3.5*x^3 = 28, so we just use algebra to find x, which is the common ratio.

3.5*x^3 = 28

x^3 = 8

x = 2

So the common ratio is 2, or in other words it keeps doubling.  You could try it real quick, keep doubling the starting term 3.5

3.5, 7, 14, 28 and 28 is the fourth term.  

So we know the common ratio.  you could just add the four terms listed then for part b, but there is an equation, for in case they ask you to find the sum of say the first 100 terms.  that wouldn't be fun.  Anyway, the formula is a((1-r^n)/(1-r)) where a is the starting term, r is the common ratio and n is the number term.  In your case that's 3.5((1-2^4)/(1-2)) = 52.5.  You can actually check since it's only 4 terms.  3.5 + 7 + 14 + 28 = 52.5.

If you want to know how that formula was gotten let em know and I can explain or give a link to a video or something to show.

Find attached a graph that I constructed.

To do that graph I used Excel.

First I did a table with this set of points:

<span><span><span>height      presuure
</span> <span> miles        psi
</span> <span> 0              14,7 </span> <span> <---- initial data

3.6           7.35 </span> <span> <--- increase hegiht 3.6 miles => half pressure

7.2            3.675 </span> <span> <---- second increase of 3.6 miles in height

10. 8         1.8375 </span> <span> <---- third increase of 3.6 miles in height

14.4           0.91875 </span> <span>

The question is saying that the line KJ is approximately equal to the line JN and that the line JN is perpendicular to the line NL. The line labeled LKN is shorter than LNK due to the fact that the line segments in LNK are longer because JN is perpendicular to NL:)

2 cans

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2 + 1/4 + 4/5 = 1.55

2 is the best answer since we know the cat eats more than 1 and a half cans so the closest thing would be 2 cans
