It lies between the numbers 7 & 8
Answer:
Defining variable: x = per week
Equation: 37 + 6.5x = 9 + 8.25x
Answer: 16 weeks
Step-by-step explanation:
x = per week
Jack:
37 + 6.5x
Diane:
9 + 8.25x
Equation:
37 + 6.5x = 9 + 8.25x
-1.75x = -28
x = 16
The series converges, and its sum is 1/2.
If r > 1, the series is divergent. If r < 1, the series is convergent. In our sequence, r, the common ratio we multiply by to get the next term, is 7/9; therefore it is convergent.
To find the sum of a convergent series, we use the formula
a/(1-r), where a is the first term and r is the common ratio. We then have
1/9÷(1-7/9) = 1/9÷2/9 = 1/9×9/2 = 1/2

Answer:
(a) x^2/16 +y^2/9 = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The form for the equation of an ellipse centered at the origin is ...
(x/(semi-x-axis))^2 +(y/(semi-y-axis))^2 = 1
The vertex values tell you the semi-x-axis is 4 units, and the semi-y-axis is 3 units. Then you have ...
(x/4)^2 +(y/3)^2 = 1
x^2/16 +y^2/9 = 1

In case you don't remember that form, you can try any of the points in the equations. The equation that works will quickly become apparent.
