The 1st, 4th and 8th terms of an arithmetic sequence, with common difference d, d ≠ 0 , are the first three terms of a geometric sequence, with common ratio r. Given that the 1st term of both sequences is 9 find the value of d and the value of r

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

d=1, r=4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

For aritmetic sequence

a1=9

a1+3d=a4    9+3d=a4.

a1+7d=a8    9+7d=a8.

For geometric sequence

b1*r=b2

b2=a4, b1=a1=9

9*r=a4

b3= b1*r^2

b3=a8

a8=9*r^2

So 9+3d=a4

9+3d=9r

9+7d= a8=9r^2

So we have a system of equations

9+3d=9r

9+7d=9r^2

Multiply 9+3d=9r by -7 It is equal to -63-21d=-63r

And multiply 9+7d=9r^2 by 3. It is equal to 27+21d=27r^2

Then add them

-63-21d+ (27+21d)= -63r+27r^2

-36+63r-27r^2=0 /9

-4+7r-3r^2=0

3r^2-7r+4=0

r=1 r=4/3

If r=1 9+3d=9

d=0 (It is not right, d isn't equal to 0)

If r=4/3

9+3d= 9*4/3

9+3d=12

d=1

Answer 2

The value of the common difference,  d is 9

The value of the common ratio r is 2

Arithmetic and Geometric Sequences

The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is:

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

The first, fourth, and eighth terms are therefore:

a,  a + 3d,  a + 7d

The nth term of a geometric sequence is:

[tex]T_n=ar^{n-1}[/tex]

The first three terms of the arithmetic sequence are:

[tex]a, ar^2, ar^3[/tex]

For both sequences, the first term is 9

That is, a = 9

[tex]a+3d=ar^2\\\\9+3d=9r^2..............(1)\\\\a+7d=ar^3\\\\9+7d=9r^3..........(2)[/tex]

Make d the subject of the formula in equation (1) and substitute to equation (2)

[tex]d=\frac{9r^2-9}{3} \\\\d=3r^2-3[/tex]

Substitute equation (3) into equation (2)

[tex]9+7(3r^2-3)=9r^3\\\\9+21r^2-21=9r^3\\\\21r^2-9r^3=12\\\\7r^2-3r^3=4\\\\r=1, \frac{-2}{3}, 2[/tex]

Substitute r = 2 into (1)

[tex]9+3d=9(2^2)\\\\d = 9[/tex]

The value of the common difference,  d is 9

The value of the common ratio r is 2

What point is the intersection of the graphs of the lines 2x - y = 3 and x+y = 3?

Answers

Answer:  (2, 1)

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

Explanation:

Let's add the equations straight down

The x terms add up to 2x+x = 3xThe y terms add to -y+y = 0y = 0, so the y terms go awayThe right hand sides add to 3+3 = 6

After those three things happen, we're left with 3x = 6 which solves to x = 2 after dividing both sides by 3.

Now let's use this x value to find y

2x-y = 3

2(2)-y = 3

4-y = 3

-y = 3-4

-y = -1

y = 1

Or we could use the other equation

x+y = 3

2+y = 3

y = 3-2

y = 1

which gets us there in fewer steps.

So that's how we get to the final answer of (x,y) = (2,1)

Answers

Answer:

D. The graph of G(x) is the graph of F(x) flipped over the y-axis and

stretched vertically.

Step-by-step explanation:

since there is a negative, there must be a reflection. the reflection is over the y-axis because it is outside the x-value (-F(x) not F(-x))

the same goes for the vertical stretch. we know it is a vertical stretch because the 3 is outside the x-value (3F(x) not F(3x))

The three seventh grade classes at Sunview Middle School collected the most boxtops for a school funderaiser, and so they won a $600 prize to share among them. Mr. Aceves' class collected 3.750 box tops, Mrs Baca's class collected 2,301, and Mr. Canyon's class collected 1,855. A. What fraction of total box tops did each class collect? B. How much money should each class receive to reflect their fraction of the total?​

Answers

Answers and step-by-step explanation:

First, we add up all the totals for the box tops. This would be 3,750+2,301+1855 which totals to 7,906. Then, we take each individual box top value and divide it by 7,906 to get the fractions. For Mr. Aceves' class, the percentage is 47%, for Mrs. Baca's class, the percentage is 29% and finally for Mr. Canyon's class, the percentage is roughly 24%. This would mean that Mr. Aceves' class should get $282, Mrs. Baca's class should get roughly $174, and Mr. Canyon's class should receive $144.

Kylie is comparing the cost of two housekeeping companies, DoItRight and CleanIt. The table describes the costs for DoItRight.




Hours, x 1.5 3 3.5 4.5

Total Cost, f(x) $26 $44 $50 $62


The cost of CleanIt Housekeeping is represented by g(x) = 10x + 16, where x represents the number of hours and g(x) represents the total cost in dollars.


Determine which company has the greater initial cost. Plot a point on the graph to represent the initial cost of that company.

Answers

Answer:

First, find the cost function of DoItRight Housekeeping:

Slope(m) = cost per hour = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}=\frac{44-26}{3-1.5}=\frac{18}{1.5}=12[/tex]

The y-intercept(b), representing the initial cost, can be calculated by substituting in values to the function:

[tex]f(x)=12x+b\\26=12(1.5)+b\\b=26-18=8[/tex]

Therefore, the function for two companies are:

The function for DoItRight is [tex]f(x)=12x+8[/tex]The function for CleanIt is [tex]g(x)=10x+16[/tex]

When comparing the two functions, it's shown how CleanIt has a greater y-intercept than DoltRight, meaning that CleanIt has a greater initial cost than DotRight. The y-intercept is when the graph intercepts the y-axis, therefore, the coordinates there would be (0, y-value), which, in this case for CleanIt company, will be (0, 16). While CleanIt has a greater y-intercept(initial cost), DoItRight has a greater slope, meaning they cost more per hour.

you need to fence off two rectangular lots. the larger of two lots is 45 feet long and 22 feet wide, while the smaller lot is 24 feet long and 16 feet wide. How much fencing in feet will you need to fully enclose both lots?

Answers

Answer:  214 feet of fencing

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

Explanation:

I'll assume that both lots are not adjacent. So we have two separate rectangles that aren't touching.

We use the rectangle perimeter formula

P = 2(L+W)

where L is the length and W is the width. For the first rectangle, we have L = 45 and W = 22, so

P = 2(L+W)

P = 2(45+22)

P = 2(67)

P = 134

You need 134 feet of fencing for the 45 ft by 22 ft rectangle.

Repeat for the other rectangle

P = 2(L+W)

P = 2(24+16)

P = 2(40)

P = 80

You need 80 feet of fencing for the 24 ft by 16 ft rectangular lot.

Overall, you need 134+80 = 214 feet of fencing

------------------------

Extra info (optional section):

Now if the two lots are touching in some way, then you won't need as much fencing. This is because the two lots will share the bit of fencing between them. This might apply to a portion of one side, or the entire side, of either rectangle. It depends how the lots are laid out.

The assumption that the lots aren't adjacent considers the worst case scenario, aka the situation where you'll need the most fencing (hence the largest cost). This will allow you to prepare for the worst and not be caught off guard. All of this assumes there is no waste, and that there are no gaps or overlaps. If there is expected to be some inefficiency of waste (which is fairly realistic in my opinion) then it's probably a good idea to slightly overshoot this target.

A pendulum's height is modeled by the function h(t) = 4 cos(pi/4*t) + 8 where h is the
measure of the pendulum's height in feet and t is the number of seconds since the
maximum height. How many seconds does it take the pendulum to complete one
full swing?

Answers

Answer:  8 seconds

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

Explanation:

The general cosine template is

y = A*cos(B(t - C)) + D

where in this case

A = 4B = pi/4C = 0D = 8

We only really need to worry about the B value. To get the period T, we do the following

T = 2pi/B

T = (2pi)/(pi/4)

T = 2pi * (4/pi)

T = 8

Note how the pi terms canceled. The period is 8 seconds, which is the length of one full cycle. This is the time it takes for the pendulum to do one full swing (eg: start at the right, swing to the left all the way, then swing back to the right again).

The result of 8 we got has nothing to do with the D = 8 value (this D value could be any other number and T = 8 would still be the case as long as B doesn't change of course).
