The question doesn't ask anything in particular, I will show the set of inequalities defined in the problem.

Answer:

System of inequalities:

$6c+4t\leq 300$

$c>0\\t > 0\\c+t\geq 60$

Step-by-step explanation:

Inequalities

The express relations between expressions with a sign other than the equal sign. Common relationals are 'less than', 'greater than', 'not equal to', and many others.

The gardening club at school has 300 square feet of planting beds to plant cucumber and tomato. Each cucumber plant requires 6 square feet of growing space and each tomato plant requires 4 square feet of growing space. We know the total area cannot exceed 300 square feet, so

$6c+4t\leq 300$

Being c and t the number of cucumber and tomato plants respectively.

We also know the students want to plant some of each type of plant and have at least 60 plants. This lead us to more conditions

$c>0\\t > 0\\c+t\geq 60$

Note: The set of inequalities shown is not enough to uniquely solve the problem. We need something to maximize or minimize to optimize c and t

The geometric sequence a i a i a, start subscript, i, end subscript is defined by the formula: a 1 = 8 a 1 =8a, start subscr

frozen [14]

Question:

The geometric sequence ai is defined by the formula: a₁ = 8, aᵢ = aᵢ₋₁(-1.5 ).

Find the sum of the first 20 terms in the sequence. Choose 1 answer:

Answer:

The sun of 20 terms of the progress is -10,637.621536256

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Geometric Sequence

a₁ = 8

aᵢ = aᵢ₋₁(-1.5 )

First, the common ratio needs to be calculated.

The common ratio is the ratio of a term to its previous term.

In other words,

Ratio = 2nd term ÷ 1st term or 3rd term ÷ 2nd term, ...... Etc.

We can calculate the common ratio from aᵢ = aᵢ₋₁(-1.5 ) by dividing both sides by aᵢ₋₁. This gives

aᵢ / aᵢ₋₁ = aᵢ₋₁(-1.5 ) / aᵢ₋₁

aᵢ / aᵢ₋₁ = -1.5

So, the common ratio, r = -1.5

Now that we've had the common ratio and first term to be -1.5 and 8 respectively, the sum of 20 terms can then be calculated using the sum of n terms formula.

Sₙ = a(1 - rⁿ)/(1 - r)

We're making use of this formula because r is less than 1

Where n = 20

a = first term = 8

r = -1.5

By substituting these values; we get

S₂₀ = 8(1 - (-1.5)²⁰)/(1 - (-1.5))

S₂₀ = 8(1 - (-1.5)²⁰)/(1 + 1.5))

S₂₀ = 8(1 - (3325.25673008

))/(2.5)

S₂₀ = 8(1 - 3325.25673008

)/(2.5)

S₂₀ = 8(-3324.25673008

)/(2.5)

S₂₀ = -10,637.621536256

The area of a square is tripled by adding 10 cm to one dimension and 12 cm to the other. Determine the side length of the square

Rina8888 [55]

Area = length *width
A = x²
3x² = (x+10)(x+12)
3x² = x²+10x+12x+120
3x² = x²+22x+120
3x²-3x² = x²+22x+120-3x²
0 = -2x²+22x+120
Factor to solve for x:
-2(x²-11x-60)
(x+4)(x-15)
x = -4 & x = 15 but we can't have a negative length so we eliminate 4. The length of the square is 15 cm.

How many whole minutes does it take 10000 viruses to grow to 1 million if their population doubles every 15 minutes?

nikitadnepr [17]

Let's solve how many whole minutes does it take 10 000 viruses to grow to 1 million if their population doubles every 15 minutes.
=> 10 000 x n = 1 000 000
=> 1 000 000 / 10 000 = 100 times
=> 100 times * 15 minutes = 1500 minutes to make 1 million viruses
