Answer:

12.5% increase OR 112.5% Percentage of Change

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem consider that our original maximum value is 96 square feet, but our new maximum value is 108 square feet. So to find the change as a percentage (in this case the increase) use the following formula:

Percentage of Change = ( New Maximum / Old Maximum ) * 100

So, let's use this formula to find the percentage change of the room.

Percentage of Change = ( 108 / 96 ) * 100

Percentage of Change = (1.125) * 100

Percentage of Change = 112.5

So the percentage of Change is 112.5%. Note, the old maximum is the point of comparison which is 100%.

So to find the increase, we will do 112.5% - 100% to get 12.5%. Hence, we have a 12.5% increase of a 108 square foot room compared to a room of 96 square feet.

Cheers.

Daniel uses \large \frac{2}{3}cup of orange juice for every \large \frac{1}{4}cup of carrot juice to make his drink. Enter the n

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

$\dfrac{8}{3}\ \text{cups of orange juice}$ or $2\dfrac{2}{3}\ \text{cups of orange juice}$ is used

Step-by-step explanation:

Daniel uses the proportions of $\dfrac{2}{3}$ cups of orange juice and $\dfrac{1}{4}$ cups of carrot juice to make a mixed juice.

Now, in the question 1 cup of carrot juice is used. So 4 times of the proportion of the carrot juice is used. Accordingly 4 times of the cups of orange juice will be used.

$\dfrac{2}{3}\ \text{cups of orange juice}=\dfrac{1}{4}\ \text{cups of carrot juice}\\\Rightarrow 4\times \dfrac{2}{3}\ \text{cups of orange juice}=4\times \dfrac{1}{4}\ \text{cups of carrot juice}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{8}{3}\ \text{cups of orange juice}=1\ \text{cup of carrot juice}$

So for one cup of carrot juice $\dfrac{8}{3}\ \text{cups of orange juice}$ or $2\dfrac{2}{3}\ \text{cups of orange juice}$ is used.

The 5th term in a geometric sequence is 160. The 7th term is 40. What are possible values of the 6th term of the sequence?

omeli [17]

Answer:

C. The 6th term is positive/negative 80

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Geometric Progression

$T_5 = 160$

$T_7 = 40$

Required

$T_6$

To get the 6th term of the progression, first we need to solve for the first term and the common ratio of the progression;

To solve the common ratio;

Divide the 7th term by the 5th term; This gives

$\frac{T_7}{T_5} = \frac{40}{160}$

Divide the numerator and the denominator of the fraction by 40

$\frac{T_7}{T_5} = \frac{1}{4}$ ----- equation 1

Recall that the formula of a GP is

$T_n = a r^{n-1}$

Where n is the nth term

So,

$T_7 = a r^{6}$

$T_5 = a r^{4}$

Substitute the above expression in equation 1

$\frac{T_7}{T_5} = \frac{1}{4}$ becomes

$\frac{ar^6}{ar^4} = \frac{1}{4}$

$r^2 = \frac{1}{4}$

Square root both sides

$r = \sqrt{\frac{1}{4}}$

r = ± $\frac{1}{2}$

Next, is to solve for the first term;

Using $T_5 = a r^{4}$

By substituting 160 for T5 and ± $\frac{1}{2}$ for r;

We get

$160 = a \frac{1}{2}^{4}$

$160 = a \frac{1}{16}$

Multiply through by 16

$16 * 160 = a \frac{1}{16} * 16$

$16 * 160 = a$

$2560 = a$

Now, we can easily solve for the 6th term

Recall that the formula of a GP is

$T_n = a r^{n-1}$

Here, n = 6;

$T_6 = a r^{6-1}$

$T_6 = a r^5$

$T_6 = 2560 r^5$

r = ± $\frac{1}{2}$

So,

$T_6 = 2560( \frac{1}{2}^5)$ or $T_6 = 2560( \frac{-1}{2}^5)$

$T_6 = 2560( \frac{1}{32})$ or $T_6 = 2560( \frac{-1}{32})$

$T_6 = 80$ or $T_6 = -80$

$T_6 =$ ±80

Hence, the 6th term is positive/negative 80

Answer:

77.41

Step-by-step explanation:

4.6² + 7.5²= 77.41

Square root of 77.41:

√77.41

This is because it can not be simplified further!

Why?

Because we used the Pythagoras Formula which is a²+ b² = c².

This is also why we had to find the square root of 77.41.
