Step-by-step explanation:

this is clearly not a linear sequence (the terms don't have the same difference).

so, it has to be a geometric sequence.

the common ratio is r.

s2 = s1 × r

16 = 64 × r

r = 16/64 = 1/4

control :

s3 = s2×r

4 = 16 × 1/4 = 4

correct.

Make y the subject: 5x + 2y = 11

Anton [14]

Does that mean solve for y? If so, here it is:
5x + 2y = 11.

Move the x term by subtracting.
2y = -5x + 11

Divide by 2.
y = -5/2x + 11/2

Solve the system by substitution. x – 4y = -8 5у – 1 = x Submit Answer

Vikki [24]

Answer:

y = -7 and x = -36

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 4y = -8

5y - 1 = x

→ Substitute 5y - 1 into x - 4y = -8

5y - 1 - 4y = -8

→ Simplify

y - 1 = -8

→ Add 1 to both sides

y = -7

→ Substitute y = -7 into 5y - 1

( 5 × -7 ) - 1 = -36

Louis built a swimming pool. The depth of the swimming pool is 5 feet. What is the volume of water that it will take to fill the

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

For a rectangular prism-like swimming pool: $V = w\cdot l \cdot h$ . $V = 360\,ft^{3}$ when $h = 5\,ft$ , $l = 12\,ft$ and $w = 6\,ft$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let assume that swimming pool has a rectangular base and depth is the same at any point at the bottom. In addition, let $w$ and $l$ be the width and length of the swimming pool. Then, the volume needed to fill the swimming pool is:

$V = w\cdot l \cdot h$ , where $h$ is the depth of the pool.

Let be $h = 5\,ft$ , $l = 12\,ft$ and $w = 6\,ft$ . The volume of the swimming pool is:

$V = (6\,ft)\cdot (12\,ft)\cdot (5\,ft)$

$V = 360\,ft^{3}$

f(x)=0.
If the polynomial function is not given in factored form:
Factor out any common monomial factors.
Factor any factorable binomials or trinomials.
Set each factor equal to zero and solve to find the
