Answer:
The first term of the sequence is -120.
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the "nth" term of a geometric sequence is shown below:
an = a0*r^(n-1)
Where an is the nth term, r is the ratio and n is the position of the term on the sequence. For this problem we want to find what is the initial term, a0, so we will isolate it in the formula as shown below:
a0*r^(n-1) = an
a0 = an/[r^(n-1)]
We then apply the data given to us
a0 = 31.45728/[-0.8^(7-1)]
a0 = 31.45728/[-0.8^6] =31.45728 /-0.262144= -120
The first term of the sequence is -120.
Answer:
3.7 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Pat could do the job alone in 8 hours.
Patti could do the job alone in 7 hours
Output = Rate * time
Let the rate at which pat does the work = Rp
Let the rate at which Patti does the work = Rt
Let X be the total output
Rp * 8 = X
Rp = X/8
Rt * 7 = X
Rt = X/7
If both pat and Patti pick apples, we have
(Rp+Rt)T = X
(X/8 + X/7)T = X
[(7X + 8X)/56]T = X
[X(7+8)/56]T = X
Divide both sides by X
[(7+8)/56]T = 1
(15/56)T = 1
T = 56/15
T = 3.7 hours
Answer:
It's 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The number before x is always the slope and the other number, the eight in this case is the y-intercept

If 2 stands for 2 out of 10 (2/10); Then the answer is 20%.
