three consecutive terms in a geometric sequence are r ,r+4, and r+6 in that order. Determine the value of r.​

Answers

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  r = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

The terms of a geometric sequence have a common ratio, so we have ...

  [tex]\dfrac{r+4}{r}=\dfrac{r+6}{r+4}\\\\1+\dfrac{4}{r}=1+\dfrac{2}{r+4}\\\\4(r+4)=2(r)\qquad\text{subtract 1, cross multiply}\\\\2r=-16\qquad\text{subtract $2r+16$}\\\\\boxed{r=-8}\qquad\text{divide by $2$}[/tex]

_____

Then the terms of the sequence are ...

  -8, -4, -2, ...

and the common ratio is 1/2.

Suppose that a population of bacteria triples every hour and starts with 700 bacteria.
(a) Find an expression for the number n of bacteria after t hours.
(b) Estimate the rate of growth of the bacteria population after 1.5 hours.

Answers

Answer:

(a) An expression for the number n of bacteria after t hours is n(t)=700*[tex]3^{t}[/tex]

(b) The rate of growth of the bacteria population after 1.5 hours is 3,996 number of bacteria per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

An exponential function is one in which the independent variable x appears in the exponent and has a constant a as its base. Its expression is:

f(x)=aˣ

being a real positive.

When 0 <a <1, then the exponential function is a decreasing function and when a> 1, it is an increasing function.

An exponential function allows us to refer to phenomena that grow faster and faster, such as population growth.

In that case, the formula used to model the growth of a population is given by:

P(t)=P0*[tex]a^{t}[/tex]

where the function P (t) grows exponentially and represents the quantity of the population at time t; a represents the constant of growth or decrease and P0 represents the initial population at time zero.

In this case:

P0=700a=3

Replacing, you get:

P(t)=700*[tex]3^{t}[/tex]

An expression for the number n of bacteria after t hours is n(t)=700*[tex]3^{t}[/tex]

The derivative of this function P (t) is:

n'(t)=700*ln(3)*[tex]3^{t}[/tex]

and reflects the growth rate of the bacteria population.

So, the rate of growth of the bacteria population after 1.5 hours is:

n(1.5)=700*ln(3)*[tex]3^{1.5}[/tex]

Solving, you get:

n(1.5)≅ 3,996

The rate of growth of the bacteria population after 1.5 hours is 3,996 number of bacteria per hour.

The quadratic function f(x) crosses the x-axis at -3 and 1.
What are the solutions of f(x) = 0?
A) -3 and -1
B) -3 and 1
C) -1 and 3
D) 1 and 3

Answers

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The solutions to a quadratic equation is whenever the graph crosses the x-axis. The solutions are also known as the roots or zeros of the quadratic.

Our quadratic crosses the x-axis at -3 and 1. So, at those two points, f(x) is 0. Namely, we have the two points (-3, 0) and (1, 0).

So, our two solutions are -3 and 1.

Hence, our answer is B.

Answer:

I think it would be B

Step-by-step explanation:

If f(x) is 0, that means the value of x would not change at all. and since its only on the x-axis and neither numbers are used for the y-axis, the solutions would most likely be -3 and 1.

a line has the equation 3x-4y=1 choose the equation of a line that is parallel to the given line

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the given line is 3x - 4y = 1

A line parallel to the given line will have slope that is the same as this one.

The equation of a straight line is expressed as;

           y  = mx + c

y and x are the coordinates

   m is the slope

    c is the y-intercept

  Now, we write the given line in the slope - intercept form;

       3x - 4y  = 1

            -4y  = -3x + 1

  Divide through by -4

       [tex]\frac{-4y}{-4}[/tex]   = [tex]\frac{-3x}{-4}[/tex]  + [tex]\frac{1}{-4}[/tex]  

          y  = [tex]\frac{3}{4} x[/tex] - [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]  

The slope of this line is [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]  

Any line with the slope  [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]  will be parallel to the given line.

Answers

Answer: A. 279936 sequences.

B. 2187 sequence.

C. 7776 sequence.

D. 46656 sequence

E. 64 sequence.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

A 6 sided fair die

No of time rolled = 7

Resulting sequence recorded = 7.

Solution.

A.) No of different possible sequence

= 6^7

= 279936 sequences.

B.) Sequence consisting of only even number

= there are 3 even numbers between 1 and 7 ( 2,4,6).

= 3^7

= 2187 sequence.

C.) possible sequences are when the first, third, and fourth numbers must be the same.

= 6* 6 ^n

where n = 4

= 6*6^4

= 7776 sequence.

D.) sequence when every number is different.

There are 6 sides of a die, so when every number is different it is.

= 6^6

= 46656 sequence

E.) sequence when atleast there are two numbers that are the same.

= 2^6

= 64 sequence.

1. Using powers of 10, which would be the best choice for the first number to subtract in the division problem 956 ÷ 87?​

Answers

Answer:

not sure i it is one of these answers but if so , it d

Step-by-step explanation:

When performing division by repeated subtraction method, an equal

amount is subtracted from the dividend several times.

The best choice for the first number to subtract is the the option; 870

Reasons:

Dividing 956 by 87 and subtracting 10 each time, by subtracting 10 87 times gives;

956 - 87 × 10¹ = 86

From which we get;

[tex]\hspace {15} 10\\87| \overline{956}\\\hspace{15in.....} \overline{870}\\\hspace {120in......} 86[/tex]

The 870 which is the part product is subtracted first to get a remainder of

86 which is less than 87.

Therefore; using powers of 10, the best choice for the first number to

subtract in the division problem 956 ÷ 87 is 87 × 10 = 870.

What value of x makes the equation -0.2(3x – 25) = -0.1x + 7 true?

Answers

x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok first let's put the equation.

-0.2(3x – 25) = -0.1x + 7 (first distribute the -.2 to 3x and -25)

-0.6x + 5 = -0.1x + 7 (subtract 5 on both sides)

-0.6x = -0.1x + 2 (add -0.1x on both sides)

-0.5x = 2 (divide by -0.5 on both sides)

x = -4

Muller Farms uses at least 800 lb of special feed daily. The special feed is a mixture of corn and soybean meal with the following compositions:
lb per lb of feedstuff
Feedstuff Protein Fiber Cost ($/lb)
Corn .09 .02 .30
Soybean meal .60 .06 .90
The dietary requirements of the special feed are at least 30% protein and at most 5% fiber. The goal is to determine the daily minimum-cost feed mix.
(a) Formulate a linear programming (LP) problem to model the situation (minimizing cost and satisfying constraints). (Hint: let x1 be the lb of corn in the daily mix, and x2 represent the lb of soybean meal in the daily mix.

where:

x₁ = pounds of corn

x₂ = pounds of soybean

constraints:

x₁ + x₂ ≥ 800

0.09x₁ + 0.60x₂ ≥ 0.30(800) ⇒ 0.09x₁ + 0.60x₂ ≥ 240

0.02x₁ + 0.06x₂ ≤ 0.05(800) ⇒ 0.02x₁ + 0.06x₂ ≤ 40

x₁ ≥ 0

x₂ ≥ 0

the optimal solution is: 470.59x₁ + 329,41x₂ = $437.65
