Answer:
The answer is C. 14.5 miles
A(n) = a₁.(r)ⁿ⁻¹, where a₁ = 1st term, r= common ratio and n, the rank
In the formula given a₁ = 5, r = 3/2 and n = 6 (we have to find the 6th term value).
a₆ = 5.(3/2)⁶⁻¹ = 5.(3/2)⁵ = 1215/32 (answer C)
You plug in x for 3 so it would be 10(3) + 2, and 10 times 3 is 30 and 30 plus 2 is 32
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Givens
Let the first piece be x
Let the second piece 4x
Let the third piece = 5x
Total length = 40 inches.
Equation
x + 4x + 5x = 40 Combine
Solution
10x = 40 Divide by 10
10x/10 = 40/10
x = 4
Answer
The smallest piece (x) = 4
The middle piece 4x = 4*4 = 16
The largest piece 5x= 5 * 4 = 20
3 (-2)^2 -5 (3)+8
3 (4)-5 (3)+8
12-15+8
-3+8=5
Hope this helps :)
