Answers

Answer 1
[tex]a_1=-3 \\ a_{15}=53 \\ \\ d= \frac{53-(-3)}{15-1}= \frac{56}{14}=4[/tex]

The answer is d=4
Answer 2
Answer:

The common difference of the arithmetic sequence is:

                                       4

Step-by-step explanation:

We kn ow that if the first term of an arithmetic sequence is a and d is the common difference of the sequence then the nth term of the sequence is given by the formula:

[tex]a_n=a+(n-1)d[/tex]

Here we are given:

[tex]a=-3[/tex]

and

[tex]a_15=53\\\\i.e.\\\\a+(15-1)d=53\\\\i.e.\\\\a+14d=53[/tex]

Now using the value of a we have:

[tex]-3+14d=53\\\\i.e.\\\\14d=56\\\\i.e.\\\\d=4[/tex]

if the parent function is 3 square root x, describe the translation of the function y=3 square root x-4 +3

Answers

You want to know what transformation maps [tex]3 \sqrt{x} [/tex] onto [tex]3 \sqrt{x-4} +3[/tex].

Would you expect a scatterplot comparing speed of a car in time it takes to drive 10 miles to show a positive association a negative association or no association explain you’re thinking

Answers

If we increase the speed of the car, then the time it takes to drive 10 miles will be less. Therefore, in the scatterplot where the y axis is the speed of a car and the x axis is the time it takes to drive 10 miles, the y value will get lower as x gets higher. This is what we call a negative association.

Write the equation of the line passing through (−1, 0) and (0, −3).

Answers

The equation of the line passing through (-1, 0) and (0, -3) is y = -3x - 3, where -3 is the slope, and -3 is also the y-intercept.

The equation of a line can be written in slope-intercept form as y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line, and b is the y-intercept. To find the slope m, we can use the two points given; the slope is the change in y over the change in x, which is (-3 - 0)/(0 - (-1)) = -3/1 = -3. With the slope found, and knowing that the line passes through the point (0, -3), we can say the y-intercept b is -3. The equation of the line through the points (-1, 0) and (0, -3) is y = -3x - 3.

Jerome went on a hike. He climbed three-fourths of a mile in two-thirds of an hour. What was his hiking speed in miles per hour?

Answers

You could do this with fractions. I'll do decimals later.

d = 3/4 mile
t = 2/3 hour
r = ????


r = 3/4 // 2/3 Invert and multiply the denominator
r = 3/4 * 3/2 = 9/8 = 1 1/8

If your calculator handles fractions, you can use it to do this. If not you can change this to a decimal.
d = 3/4 = 0.75 miles
t = 2/3 hour = 0.666666666 hours.
r = ???

d = r*t
r = d/t
r = 0.75 / 0.66666667
r = 1.125 miles / hour
which gives you exactly the same answer 1.125 = 1 1/8


Final answer:

Jerome's hiking speed was calculated by dividing the distance he hiked, three-fourths of a mile, by the time it took him, two-thirds of an hour. This yielded a hiking speed of 1.125 miles per hour.

Explanation:

To calculate Jerome's hiking speed in miles per hour, we need to divide the distance he hiked by the time it took him. Jerome hiked three-fourths of a mile in two-thirds of an hour. To find the speed, we use the formula:

Speed = Distance ÷ Time

Speed = ¾ mile ÷ ⅓ hour

To divide fractions, we multiply by the reciprocal of the denominator:

Speed = ¾ × ⅔ = 3/4 × 3/2 = 9/8

This fraction simplifies to 1⅛ (1.125) miles per hour. So, Jerome's hiking speed was 1.125 miles per hour.

It is important to remember that when we talk about speed, we are referring to the distance traveled over a certain period of time regardless of the direction of travel.

The rule of thumb in filmmaking is that you must shoot at least 3 minutes of film for every minute in a movies “final cut”. A 30 minute roll of film cost $250. How much will film cost to make a 90 minute movie?
Please explain how to do this problem! I can’t figure it out!

Answers

You add 250 to the price for every 30 minutes, so it would cost $750 for 90 minutes of film.
However, since you have to shoot three minutes for every one minute in the final cut, you would multiply that by 3. So I think it would be 2,250

Dr. Silas studies a culture of bacteria under a microscope. The function b(t)=50(1.4)^t represents the number of bacteria t hours after Dr. Silas begins her study.

a) What is the y-intercept of the function? What does this mean in the context of the problem?
b) Is this exponential growth or decay? How do you know?
c) How many bacteria would there be 5 hours after Dr. Silas began her study?

Please show all your work!

Answers

a) Remember that the y-intercept of a exponential function [tex]f(x)=a^{x} [/tex] is [tex]f(0)[/tex], so the only thing to do to find the y-intercept in our functions is evaluate it at t=0:
[tex]b(t)=50(1.4) ^{t} [/tex]
[tex]b(0)=50(1.4)^{0} [/tex]
[tex]b(0)=50(1)[/tex]
[tex]b(0)=50[/tex]
We can conclude that the y-intercept of our function is (0,50), and it represents the initial bacteria population in the sample.

b) To find if the function is growing or decaying, we are going to convert its decimal part to a fraction. Then, we will compare the numerator and the denominator of the fraction. If the numerator is grater than the denominator, the function is growing; if the opposite is true, the function is decaying.
Remember that to convert a decimal into a fraction we are going to add the denominator 1 to our decimal and then we'll multiply both of them by a power of ten for each number after the decimal point:
[tex] \frac{1.4}{1} . \frac{10}{10} = \frac{14}{10} = \frac{7}{5} [/tex]
Now we can rewrite our exponential function:
[tex]b(t)=50( \frac{7}{5})^{t} [/tex]
Since the numerator is grater than the denominator, it is growing faster than the denominator; therefore the function is growing.

c) The only thing we need to do here is evaluate the function at t=5:
[tex]b(t)=50(1.4)^{t} [/tex]
[tex]b(5)=50(1.4)^{5} [/tex]
[tex]b(5)=50(5.37824)[/tex]
[tex]b(5)=268.912[/tex]

We can conclude that after 5 hours Dr. Silas began her study will be 268.9 bacteria in the sample.
Final answer:

The function relates to a bacteria count that starts at 50, grows exponentially due to the base of the exponent being greater than 1, and is projected to reach approximately 192 bacteria after 5 hours.

Explanation:

a) The y-intercept of the function is the value of the function when t = 0. For the function  [tex]b(t)=50(1.4)^t[/tex], if you substitute 0 for t, you get  [tex]50(1.4)^0[/tex] which simplifies to 50. Consequently, the y-intercept is 50 which in context, means the study started with 50 bacteria.

b) This function represents exponential growth. We know this because the base of the exponent (1.4) is greater than 1. If the base had been less than 1, it would represent exponential decay.

c) To determine the number of bacteria 5 hours into the study, we need to substitute 5 for t in the formula.

Hence, [tex]b(5)=50(1.4)^5 = approximately 192.2.[/tex] The number of bacteria cannot be in fractions, thus we consider this as approximately 192.

If 20% of a class takes a car to school and 48% takes the bus and 8% ride their bikes to school and there are 825 in the school what percent of students use another method to travel to school

Answers

0.68 would be the answer. I think because I added 20%,48%,& 8% and then divided by 825

825= 100% of students

Add up the percentages for car, bus and bike travel. Subtract that total from 100%.

x= percent that uses another method

x= 100% - (20% + 48% + 8%)
x= 100% - 76%
x= 24%

This doesn't say, but if you needed to find the number of students that use another method, multiply the total number of students by the percent that use another method of travel:
= 825 * 24%
= 198 students use another method

ANSWER: 24% of students use another method of travel to school. (And in case you needed it, 24% is 198 students).

suppose that a pair of 7 sided dice is tossed. What is the expected value of the sum?

Answers

Final answer:

The expected value of the sum when rolling a pair of 7-sided dice is 8.

Explanation:

When rolling a pair of 7-sided dice, each die has numbers 1 through 7 on its faces. To find the expected value of the sum, we need to calculate the average of all possible sums.

The first die can have 7 possible outcomes, and for each outcome, the second die can also have 7 possible outcomes. This gives us a total of 7*7=49 possible outcomes. The sums of these outcomes range from 2 (1+1) to 14 (7+7).

To find the expected value, we multiply each sum by its probability and sum them up. Since each sum has an equal probability of occurring (1/49), we can simplify the calculation:

Expected value = (2*1/49) + (3*1/49) + (4*1/49) + ... + (14*1/49) = 8

Therefore, the expected value of the sum when rolling a pair of 7-sided dice is 8.

A trapezoid has an area of 15 square feet. If the bases are 4 feet and 6 feet , what is the height of the trapezoid? Hurry Big test tomorrow this the last one

Answers

the formula for a trapezoid is a=a+b/2 x h
so plug that back into the equation and you get
15=10/2 *h
15=5*h
from here, you know that 15/5 equals 3 and therefore the height of the trapezoid is 3.

Good Luck on ur Big Test!

Final answer:

The height of the trapezoid is 3 feet.

Explanation:

To find the height of a trapezoid with given bases and area, you can use the formula for the area of a trapezoid, which is the average of the two bases multiplied by the height. The formula is as follows:

Area = ½ × (base1 + base2) × height

Given that the area of the trapezoid is 15 square feet and the two bases are 4 feet and 6 feet, the formula becomes:

15 = ½ × (4 + 6) × height

This simplifies to:

15 = ½ × 10 × height

Therefore, we can calculate the height by dividing the area by 5 (which is half of 10):

height = 15 ÷ 5 = 3 feet

So, the height of the trapezoid is 3 feet.

0.5cm=1.5m. 36m tall. Find the scale factor.

Answers

To answer this I would set this up as a proportion.  I would write 0.5 cm/1.5 m. Make this equal to x/36 m.  x would be the scale measurement needed for the real height of 36 m.  You can solve this proportion by using cross products to get 1.5x = 18 and solve for x.  18/1.5=12 cm. Or you can determine how many groups of 1.5 it would take to get to 36 (36/1.5 = 24).  Then multiply 0.5 by 24 to get 12 cm.

Final answer:

To find the model height for an object that is 36 m tall using the given scale of 0.5 cm equals 1.5 m, we establish a proportion, which yields a model height of 12 cm, representing the scale factor as 1 cm : 3 m.

Explanation:

The question asks to find the scale factor given that 0.5 cm on a model equals 1.5 m in real life, and an object's real-life height is 36 meters. First, understand that the scale factor is the ratio of the model's size to the actual size. For this scenario, the given scale is 0.5 cm = 1.5 m. To find the model height for an object that is 36 m tall, we use this scale.

Set up a proportion based on the given scale: 0.5 cm/1.5 m = x cm/36 m. Simplifying the ratio to its smallest form, we get 1 cm = 3 m. Therefore, using cross multiplication, we find the height of the model as x = 0.5 cm * (36 m / 1.5 m).

Calculating gives x = 12 cm. Hence, the scale factor, when considering the model's size to the actual size, is represented as 1 cm : 3 m, and the actual model height is 12 cm for the 36 m tall object.
