here are the first five terms of a quadratic sequence (1 8, 21, 40, 65). the nth term of this sequence can be written in the form (an2 + bn). where a and b are integers. work out the value of a and the value of b

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a=3 and b=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that five  terms of a quadratic sequence are

1 8, 21, 40, 65.

The nth term of this sequence

=[tex]an^2+bn[/tex]

We have to find the value of a and b where a and b are integers.

For n=1

[tex]a+b=1[/tex]   ......(1)

For n=2

[tex](2)^2a+2b=8[/tex]

[tex]4a+2b=8[/tex]

[tex]2a+b=4[/tex]   .....(2)

Subtract equation (1) from (2) we get

[tex]2a-a=4-1=3[/tex]

[tex]a=3[/tex]

Using the value of a=3 in equation (1)

[tex]3+b=1[/tex]

[tex]b=1-3=-2[/tex]

Hence, the value of

a=3 and b=-2

Si un proyectil asciende verticalmente, y después de 3 segundos alcanza su altura máxima, calcule la velocidad que lleva a la mitad de su trayectoria descendente

Answers

Answer:

The speed is 20.8  m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

If a projectile ascends vertically, and after 3 seconds it reaches its maximum height, calculate the velocity that it carries to the middle of its downward trajectory

Let the maximum height is h and initial velocity is u.

From first equation of motion

v = u + at

0 = u - g x 3

u = 3 g.....(1)

Use third equation of motion

[tex]v^2 = u^2 - 2 gh \\\\0 = 9 g^2 - 2 gh \\\\h = 4.5 g[/tex]

Let the speed at half the height is v'.

[tex]v^2 = u^2 + 2 gh \\\\v'^2 = 0 + 2 g\times 2.25 g\\\\v'^2 = 4.5\times 9.8\times9.8\\\\v' = 20.8 m/s[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

FD = 89

Answered by GAUTHMATH

For right triangle EFD,  m ∠F ≈ 26°, m ∠D ≈ 64.01° and FD = 89

The correct answer is an option (B)

What is hypotenuse?

It is the longest side of the right triangle.

What is Pythagoras theorem?

For a right triangle,

[tex]a^{2}+ b^{2} = c^{2}[/tex], where c is hypotenuse and a, b area other two sides of the right triangle

For given example,

We have been given a right triangle EFD with hypotenuse FD.

Also, EF = 80, ED = 39

Using the Pythagoras theorem,

[tex]\Rightarrow FD^{2}= EF^{2} + ED^{2}\\\\ \Rightarrow FD^{2}= 80^{2} + 39^{2}\\\\ \Rightarrow FD^2 = 6400 + 1521\\\\ \Rightarrow FD^2 = 7921\\\\\Rightarrow FD = 89[/tex]

Consider, sin(F)

[tex]\Rightarrow sin(F)=\frac{ED}{FD} \\\\\Rightarrow sin(F)=\frac{39}{89}\\\\ \Rightarrow sin(F)=0.4382\\\\\Rightarrow \angle F=sin^{-1}(0.4382)\\\\\Rightarrow \angle F=25.98^{\circ}\\\\\Rightarrow \angle F\approx 26^{\circ}[/tex]

Now, consider sin(D)

[tex]\Rightarrow sin(D)=\frac{FE}{FD}\\\\ \Rightarrow sin(D)=\frac{80}{89}\\\\ \Rightarrow \angle D = sin^{-1}(0.8988)\\\\\Rightarrow \angle D = 64.009^{\circ}\\\\\Rightarrow \angle D \approx 64.01^{\circ}[/tex]

Therefore, for right triangle EFD,  m ∠F ≈ 26°, m ∠D ≈ 64.01° and FD = 89

A football was kicked through the air and it followed the path h\left(s\right)=-3s^2+75h(s)=−3s 2 +75 . Let h\left(s\right)h(s) represent the height of the soccer ball after, s, seconds.

Answers

Complete question is;

A soccer ball was kicked through the air and it followed the path. Let h(s) = −3s² +75 represent the height of the soccer ball after s seconds.

Find the time at which the soccer ball hits the ground.

Answer:

s = 5 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the function;

h(s) = −3s² +75

Where;

h(s) is height at time s

s is the time taken

Now, the time at which the time at which the soccer ball hits the ground would be at h(s) = 0 since height is at 0 point.

Thus;

−3s² +75 = 0

−3s² = -75

s² = 75/3

s² = 25

s = √25

s = 5 seconds.

Two legs of a right triangle measure 23 inches and 38 inches. What is the length of the hypotenuse, to the nearest
inch?

Answers

Answer:

hypotenuse ≈ 44 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides.

let the hypotenuse be h , then

h² = 23² + 38² = 529 + 1444 = 1973 ( take square root of both sides )

h = [tex]\sqrt{1973}[/tex] ≈ 44 inches ( to the nearest inch )

shanika has a lamp that she wants to send to her sister in baltimore.the lamp is in the shape of a rectangular prism.it measures 14 high, 9 wide, and 3 long.she wants to buy a box so that there is 1 all around the lamp for bubble wrap

Answers

Consider we need to find the dimensions and volume of the box.

Given:

The shape of the lamp is a rectangular prism.

It measures 14 high, 9 wide, and 3 long.

There is 1 all around the lamp for bubble wrap

To find:

The dimensions and volume of the box.

Solution:

Length of the box is:

[tex]3+2=5[/tex]

Width of the box is:

[tex]9+2=11[/tex]

Height of the box is:

[tex]14+2=16[/tex]

Therefore, the dimensions of the box are 5 by 11 by 16 units.

The volume of the box is:

[tex]V=l\times w\times h[/tex]

Where, l is length, w is width and h is height.

Putting [tex]l=5, w=11, h=16[/tex], we get

[tex]V=5\times 11\times 16[/tex]

[tex]V=880[/tex]

Therefore, the volume of the box is 880 cubic units.

Summation from i equals 1 to 6 Upper P prime (x Subscript i Baseline )Upper Delta x with Upper Delta x equals 20.

Answers

Solution :

Given :

[tex]$P'(x) = -0.0008x^3+0.20x^2+46.8x,$[/tex]    for x ≤ 200

Total profit when 120 members are enrolled is :

[tex]$\sum_{i=1}^6P'(x_i) \Delta x$[/tex]      with [tex]\Delta x = 20[/tex]

Using the left end points, we get,

The values of [tex]x_i[/tex] are : { 0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100}

Therefore,

[tex]$P'(x_1) = P'(0)=-(0.0008)(0)^3+(0.20)(0)^2+(46.8)(0)$[/tex]

                        = 0

[tex]$P'(x_2) = P'(20)=-(0.0008)(20)^3+(0.20)(20)^2+(46.8)(20)$[/tex]

                          = 1009.6

[tex]$P'(x_3) = P'(40)=-(0.0008)(40)^3+(0.20)(40)^2+(46.8)(40)$[/tex]

                         =  2140.8

[tex]$P'(x_4) = P'(60)=-(0.0008)(60)^3+(0.20)(60)^2+(46.8)(60)$[/tex]

                         = 3355.2

[tex]$P'(x_5) = P'(80)=-(0.0008)(80)^3+(0.20)(80)^2+(46.8)(80)$[/tex]

                         = 4614.4

[tex]$P'(x_6) = P'(100)=-(0.0008)(100)^3+(0.20)(100)^2+(46.8)(100)$[/tex]

                           = 5880

[tex]$\sum_{i=1}^6P'(x_i) \Delta x = P'(x_1)\Delta x + P'(x_2)\Delta x + P'(x_3)\Delta x + P'(x_4)\Delta x + P'(x_5)\Delta x + P'(x_6)\Delta x $[/tex]  

= (0)(20) + (1009.6)(20) + (2140.8)(20) + (3355.2)(20) + (4614.4)(20) + (5880)(20)

= (20)( 0 + 1009.6 + 2140.8 + 3355.2 + 4614.4 + 5880)

= (20)(17,000)

= 340,000 cents

[tex]$=\frac{340000}{100} \ \text{dollars}$[/tex]

= 3400 dollars

Hence, the required total profit is 3400 dollars.
