Ann races her bicycle for 200 ft. A wheel of her bicycle turns 40 times as the bicycle travels this distance. What is the diamet

er of the wheel?
Use the value 3.14. Round your answer to the nearest tenth. Do not round any intermediate steps.

Answer:

1.6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Each time the wheel does a complete turn, the bike moves forward a distance equal to the wheel's circumference. Since the bike moves 200 ft after 40 rotations, the length of the wheel's circumference is:

C = 200 ft / 40

C = 5 ft

Circumference is π times the diameter. So the diameter of the wheel is:

C = πd

5 ft = πd

d = 1.6 ft

sasho [114]

How to find the x intercept of 3y=2x-6: (when y is 0)

3(0) = 2x - 6

   0 = 2x - 6
+6 + 6

x = 3

How to find the y intercept of 3y=2x-6: (when x is 0)

3y = 2(0) - 6

y = 0 - 6

3y = -6

Determine formula of the nth term 2, 6, 12 20 30,42

nalin [4]

Check the forward differences of the sequence.

If $\{a_n\} = \{2,6,12,20,30,42,\ldots\}$ , then let $\{b_n\}$ be the sequence of first-order differences of $\{a_n\}$ . That is, for n ≥ 1,

$b_n = a_{n+1} - a_n$

so that $\{b_n\} = \{4, 6, 8, 10, 12, \ldots\}$ .

Let $\{c_n\}$ be the sequence of differences of $\{b_n\}$ ,

$c_n = b_{n+1} - b_n$

and we see that this is a constant sequence, $\{c_n\} = \{2, 2, 2, 2, \ldots\}$ . In other words, $\{b_n\}$ is an arithmetic sequence with common difference between terms of 2. That is,

$2 = b_{n+1} - b_n \implies b_{n+1} = b_n + 2$

and we can solve for $b_n$ in terms of $b_1=4$ :

$b_{n+1} = b_n + 2$

$b_{n+1} = (b_{n-1}+2) + 2 = b_{n-1} + 2\times2$

$b_{n+1} = (b_{n-2}+2) + 2\times2 = b_{n-2} + 3\times2$

and so on down to

$b_{n+1} = b_1 + 2n \implies b_{n+1} = 2n + 4 \implies b_n = 2(n-1)+4 = 2(n + 1)$

We solve for $a_n$ in the same way.

$2(n+1) = a_{n+1} - a_n \implies a_{n+1} = a_n + 2(n + 1)$

Then

$a_{n+1} = (a_{n-1} + 2n) + 2(n+1) \\ ~~~~~~~= a_{n-1} + 2 ((n+1) + n)$

$a_{n+1} = (a_{n-2} + 2(n-1)) + 2((n+1)+n) \\ ~~~~~~~ = a_{n-2} + 2 ((n+1) + n + (n-1))$

$a_{n+1} = (a_{n-3} + 2(n-2)) + 2((n+1)+n+(n-1)) \\ ~~~~~~~= a_{n-3} + 2 ((n+1) + n + (n-1) + (n-2))$

and so on down to

$a_{n+1} = a_1 + 2 \displaystyle \sum_{k=2}^{n+1} k = 2 + 2 \times \frac{n(n+3)}2$

$\implies a_{n+1} = n^2 + 3n + 2 \implies \boxed{a_n = n^2 + n}$

The 5th term in a geometric sequence is 120. The 7th term is 30. What are the possible values of the 6th term of the sequence.

klemol [59]

Answer:

± 60

Step-by-step explanation:

aₙ = a₁ * rⁿ⁻¹

a₇ = 30 = a₁ * r⁷⁻¹ = a₁ * r⁶ (1)

a₅ = 120 = a₁ * r⁵⁻¹ = a₁ * r⁴ (2)

(1)/(2): 30/120 = 1/4 = r²

r = ± 1/2 or ± 0.5

a₁ = a₇/r⁶ = 30/0.5⁶ = 1920

a₆ = 1920 * (± 1/2)⁶⁻¹ = 1920 * ± 1/32 = ± 60
