Answer:
the answer is 8.83 inches per piece, the 2 whole numbers it lies between are 8 and 9
Step-by-step explanation:
53/6= 8.83
Answer:
a[n] = a[n-1]×(4/3)
a[1] = 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
The terms of a geometric sequence have an initial term and a common ratio. The common ratio multiplies the previous term to get the next one. That sentence describes the recursive relation.
The general explicit term of a geometric sequence is ...
a[n] = a[1]×r^(n-1) . . . . . where a[1] is the first term and r is the common ratio
Comparing this to the expression you are given, you see that ...
a[1] = 1/2
r = 4/3
(You also see that parenthses are missing around the exponent expression, n-1.)
A recursive rule is defined by two things:
- the starting value(s) for the recursive relation
- the recursive relation relating the next term to previous terms
The definition of a geometric sequence tells you the recursive relation is:
<em>the next term is the previous one multiplied by the common ratio</em>.
In math terms, this looks like
a[n] = a[n-1]×r
Using the value of r from above, this becomes ...
a[n] = a[n-1]×(4/3)
Of course, the starting values are the same for the explicit rule and the recursive rule:
a[1] = 1/2

Answer:
a=2.48
c=9.52
Step-by-step explanation:
a+c=12
4a+7.5c=72.5 Given
a+c=12
-4a-7.5c=-72.5 multiply the equation by negative 1
-3a-6.5c=-60.5 simplify
-3a=-60.5+6.5c add 6.5c to both sides
a=-20.17+2.17c divide it by 3
now you would take that equation and plug it into an equation you already have since you have something to plug in for a, the easiest one to do is a+c=12
(-20.17+2.17c)+c=12 plug in the equation
-20.17+3.17c=12 simplify by solving for c
3.17c=30.17 add 20.17 to both sides
c=9.52 divide both sides by 3.17
now since you have found c, you can plug it in to you equation to solve for a now (use the ones from the second step). I am using the equation a+c=12.
a+9.52=12 plug in the variable and solve for a
a=2.48 subtract 9.52 to both sides
a=2.48
c=9.52
