Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the first term in the geometric sequence. Then the next two terms in the sequence are xr and xr ², where r is some constant. (This is the defining characteristic of geometric sequences.)

The sum of the first three terms is 42, so

x + xr + xr ² = 42

x (1 + r + r ²) = 42

The third term is 3.2 times the sum of the other two, so that

xr ² = 3.2 (x + xr )

Solve the second equation for r :

xr ² = 3.2 x (1 + r )

We can divide both sides by x since x ≠ 0. (This is obvious, since if x was zero, then all three terms in the sequence would be 0.)

r ² = 3.2 (1 + r )

r ² = 3.2 + 3.2r

r ² - 3.2r - 3.2 = 0

r ² - 16/5 r - 16/5 = 0

5r ² - 16r - 16 = 0

(5r + 4) (r - 4) = 0

==>   r = -4/5 or r = 4

Since there are two possible values of r that might work, there are two possible sequences that meet the criteria.

Plug either of these solutions into the first equation:

r = -4/5   ==>   x (1 + (-4/5) + (-4/5)²) = 42

… … … … … …   21/25 x = 42

… … … … … …   x = 50

r = 4   ==>   x (1 + 4 + 4²) = 42

… … … … …  21x = 42

… … … … …  x = 2

Then the two possible answers would be

• if r = -4/5, then the three terms are {50, -40, 32}

• if r = 4, then they are {2, 8, 32}

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A geometric series means that we multiply one number by a common ratio to get the second number. Let's say our first number is x, and our common ratio is y. We can write the first term is x, and to get the second number, we multiply x by our common ratio, y. For example, if 5 was the first number and 2 was the common ratio, the second number would be 5*2 = 10, and the third would be 10 * 2 = 20.

For our question, the first number is x, the second is x*y, and the third is x*y*y = x*y²

The sum of these three terms is 42, so we can say

x + x*y + x*y² = 42

Next, the third term is equal to 3.2 times the sum of the other two. First, we have 3.2 times something. That something is the sum of the other two, so we must prioritize calculating the sum of the first two numbers, and then multiply that by 3.2 to get the third. We can write this as

(x + x*y) * 3.2 = x*y²

factor out x

x * 3.2(1 +y) = x*y²

divide both sides by x

3.2(1+y) = y²

expand

3.2 + 3.2y = y²

subtract (3.2 + 3.2y) from both sides to make this a quadratic equation

y²-3.2y-3.2 = 0

use the quadratic formula to solve for y  (note that +- here stands for "plus or minus")

[tex]y = \frac{-(-3.2) +- \sqrt{3.2^{2}-4(-3.2)(1)} }{2} \\= \frac{3.2+-\sqrt{10.24+12.8} }{2} \\= \frac{3.2+- 4.8}{2}[/tex]

=  -0.8 or 4

With these two possibilities, we can try each in our other equation to see what works.

x + x*y + x*y² = 42

for y = -0.8

x + -0.8x + 0.64x = 42

x - 0.16x = 42

0.84x = 42

multiply both sides by 1/0.84 to isolate the x

x=50

This works, with x (the first number) =50, the second number being 50 * -0.8 = -40, and the third being -40 * -0.8 = 32. 50+(-40) = 10, 10*3.2=32, and 50-40+32 = 42

Next, for y=4, we have

x+4x + 16x= 42

21x = 42

divide both sides by 21 to isolate the x

This works as well, with x=2, the second value being 2*4 = 8, and the third value being 8*4 =32. 2+8=10, 10*3.2 = 32, and 2+8+32 = 42

Answer:

Both boxes are -20.25

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-value for the vertex is when you plug in the x-value of the vertex in. The vertex is at (2.5, -20.25). SInce the vertex is the lowest or highest point on a parabola, the range is y>=-20.25.

Answer:

4.5, - 27, 162, - 972, 5832

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the recursive rule and a₁ = 4.5 , then

a₂ = - 6a₁ = - 6 × 4.5 = - 27

a₃ = - 6a₂ = - 6 × - 27 = 162

a₄ = - 6a₃ = - 6 × 162 = - 972

a₅ = - 6a₄ = - 6 × - 972 = 5832

The first 5 terms are 4.5, - 27, 162, - 972, 5832

Answer:

Fast car = 45.6

Slower car = 30.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of the first car = x

Let the speed of the second car = y

Travelling towards each other.

x *1 + y*1  = 76 miles

x*5 - y*5 = 76 miles. This is kind of tricky. You have to understand that the first car that is 76 miles from the second car and makes up that 76 in 5 hours. The distance they both travel is subtracted out.

Divide by 5

x - y = 76/5

x - y = 15.2       The speeds differ by 15.2

x + y = 76

x - y  = 15.2

2x = 91.2

x = 45.6

y = 76 - 45.6 = 30.4

When the two vehicles speeds are multiplied by 5, the difference is 76 km

======================================

Explanation:

In this context, a zero is another term for x intercept or root. This is where the graph either touches or crosses the x axis. This occurs in three locations: x = -3, x = 2, and x = 0. So those are the three roots. That makes the first three statements true, while the remaining two others are false.

Side note: x = 0 doesn't always have to be involved. Its quite possible to have x = 0 not be an x intercept. The term "zero" is a bit misleading in that regard. I prefer either "root" or "x intercept" instead.

Answer:

[tex]x=55[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Corresponding angles of two parallel lines are always equal. The angle on "top" of [tex]2x+6[/tex] corresponds with the angle marked as [tex]x+9[/tex]. Therefore, its measure must also be [tex]x+9[/tex].

Since these two angles form one side of a line which has 180 degrees, we have the following equation:

[tex]2x+6+x+9=180[/tex]

Combine like terms:

[tex]3x+15=180[/tex]

Subtract 15 from both sides:

[tex]3x=165[/tex]

Divide both sides by 3:

[tex]x=\frac{165}{3}=\boxed{55}[/tex]

Answer:

Smaller factor/larger figure = 3/6 = ½

Step-by-step explanation:

Scale factor of similar figures is usually the ratio of one to the other.

In the diagram given, the scale factor is the length of any side of the smaller figure divided by the length of the corresponding side length of the bigger figure.

Length of smaller figure = 3

Corresponding length of larger figure = 6

Scale factor = smaller figure/larger figure = 3/6

Simplify

Scale factor = ½

Answer:

sin theta = 3 sqrt(21)/17

Step-by-step explanation:

cos theta = adj / hyp

We can find the opp by using the Pythagorean theorem

adj^2 + opp ^2 = hyp^2

10^2 +opp^2 = 17^2

100 + opp^2 = 289

opp^2 = 289-100

opp^2 = 189

Taking the square root

opp = sqrt(189)

opp = 3 sqrt(21)

Since we are in the first quad, opp is positive

sin theta = opp /hyp

sin theta = 3 sqrt(21)/17

Answer:

5:3

Step-by-step explanation:

40% = 2/5

If the numbers are x and y, then

2/5 x = 2/3 y

Divide both sides by 2/5

x  = (2/3 * 5/2)y

x = 10/6 y

x = 5/3  y

So the required ratio is 5 : 3.

Checking this result:

10% of 5 = 2

2/3 of 3 = 2 also.

x=0, y=-2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is most easily solved with calculus, believe it or not. It is way more direct and to the point, with a whole lot less math!

The position function is given. The velocity function is the first derivative of the position, so if we find the velocity function and set it equal to 0, we can solve for the amount of time it takes for the rocket to reach its max height. Remember from physics that at the top of a parabolic path, the velocity is 0.

If:

[tex]s(t)=-16t^2+112t+360[/tex], then the velocity function, the first derivative is:

v(t) = -32t + 112 and solve for t:

-112 = -32t so

t = 3.5 seconds. Now we know how long it takes to get to the max height, we just need to find out what the max height is.

Go back to the position function and sub in 3.5 for t to tell us that position of the rocket at 3.5 seconds, which translates to the max height:

[tex]s(3.5)=-16(3.5)^2+112(3.5)+360[/tex] and

s(3.5) = 206 feet. I imagine that your answer, if you had to choose one from the list, would be 200 feet, rounded a lot.
