Driving a piling into a harbor bottom, a pile driver sinks the piling 24 inches on the first stroke, 18 inches on the second stroke, and 13 1/2 inches on the third stroke. If the sequence is continued, how far will the piling be driven down on the 5th stroke?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

7.6 inches to the nearest tenth.

Step-by-step explanation:

18/24 = 3/4.

13.5 / 18 = 3/4.

This is a Geometric sequence with common ratio 3/4 or 0.75.

We need to find the fifth term of the sequence.

5th term = a1 (r)^(5 - 1)

=  24 * (0.75)^(5-1)

= 24 *  0.316406

=  7.6 inches.

Answer 2

The piling will be driven down 9 inches on the 5th stroke following the decreasing pattern of the pile driver.

The sequence of the piling being driven down by the pile driver shows a decreasing pattern. To predict the depth on the 5th stroke, we need to identify the pattern of decrease.

First stroke: 24 inches
Second stroke: 18 inches (24 - 6 = 18)
Third stroke: 13.5 inches (18 - 4.5 = 13.5)
Looking at the pattern, the reduction from the first to the second stroke is 6 inches, and from the second to the third stroke is 4.5 inches.

We can infer that the pattern of decrease is by 1.5 inches each time (6 - 4.5 = 1.5). So:

Fourth stroke decrease: 4.5 - 1.5 = 3 inches
Third stroke depth: 13.5 inches
Fourth stroke depth: 13.5 - 3 = 10.5 inches

Fifth stroke decrease: 3 - 1.5 = 1.5 inches
Fourth stroke depth: 10.5 inches
Fifth stroke depth: 10.5 - 1.5 = 9 inches

For the inverse variation equation xy = k, what is the constant of variation, k, when x = 7 and y = 3?


A. 3/7

B. 7/3

C. 10

D. 21

Answers

Answer:

  D.  21

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation tells you xy = k. Substituting the given values, you get ...

  7·3 = k

  21 = k

Answer:

D) 21

Step-by-step explanation:

The given inverse variation equation is x.y = k, where k is the constant of proportionality.

Given: x = 7 and y = 3.

We need to find the constant variation, k.

To find the constant variation, k, plug in x = 7 and y = 3 in the given equation and simplify.

k = 7*3

k = 21.

Therefore, the constant of variation k = 21.

Answer is D) 21.

Neoli is a nurse who works each day from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm at the blood collection centre. She takes 45 minutes for her lunch break. On average, it takes Neoli 15 minutes to collect each sample and record the patient's details. On average, how many patients can Neoli see each day?

Answers

Answer:

29

Step-by-step explanation:

Neoli can see 4 patients in an hour. (60 min)/(15 min) = 4

In the 8-hour work day, with no break, she could see (8 h)×(4 patients/h) = 32 patients.

However, her lunch break takes a time that is equivalent to the time for 3 patients.

Neoli can see 32 -3 = 29 patients per day on average.

B. Sarita should solve for x in the first equation because the coefficients can be reduced by a common factor to eliminate the coefficient for x.


C. Sarita should solve for y in the first equation because the coefficients can be reduced by a common factor to eliminate the coefficient for y.


D. Sarita should solve for x in the second equation because the coefficients can be reduced by a common factor to eliminate the coefficient for x.

Answers

Answer:

Option A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+3y=25

4x+2y=22

Option A

2y = 22-4x

y = 11 -2x

Option B

2x = 25 -3y

x = 25/2 -3/2y

Option C

3y = 25 - 2x

y = 25/3 -2/3x

Option D

4x = 22 - 2y

x = 22/4 -2/4y

x = 11/2 -1/2y

In Option B,C and D we have fractions and for substitution the calculations will be complex.

But Option A has no fractions and solving by putting the value of y in equation 1 is easy.

So, Option A is correct.

Answer:

A

Sarita should solve for y in the second equation because the coefficients can be reduced by a common factor to eliminate the coefficient for y.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the final round of trivia competition, contestants were asked to name as many states that begin with the letter M as they could in 15 seconds. The bar graph shows the number of states the contestants were able to name. How many contestants participated in the final round of the competition?
A) 6
B) 8
C) 14
D) 20

Answers

Answer:

  D)  20

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the heights of the bars (numbers of contestants) is ...

  1 + 1 + 5 + 6 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 20

The correct answer is A) 6.

To determine the number of contestants who participated in the final round of the competition, we need to analyze the bar graph provided in the question. Since the actual bar graph is not available in the text, we will assume that the number of states named by each contestant is represented by a separate bar in the graph.

 The question states that the contestants were asked to name as many states that begin with the letter M as they could. The states that begin with the letter M are Montana, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, Massachusetts, and Michigan. There are a total of 6 such states

Given that there are 6 states that start with the letter M, the maximum number of states any contestant could have named correctly is 6. Therefore, each contestant is represented by a bar on the graph that corresponds to the number of states they were able to name, with the maximum possible value being 6.

Since the question asks for the number of contestants and we have established that there are 6 states beginning with the letter M, it follows that there must be 6 bars on the graph, each representing one contestant. Thus, 6 contestants participated in the final round of the competition.

 In conclusion, by understanding the context of the question and the constraints provided (the number of states beginning with the letter M), we can deduce that the number of contestants who participated in the final round is equal to the number of states that start with the letter M, which is 6. Hence, the correct answer is A) 6.

Answers

Answer:

360

Step-by-step explanation:

n=?

1800° = sum of interior angles

Pentagon = 5 sides

n = 1800° ÷ 5

n = 360

You can observe that the formula for the sum of the interior angles of a polygon is:

[tex]sum=(n-2)180[/tex]

Where "n" is the number of sides of the polygon.

You know that the sum of the interior angles of  this polygon is 1,800 degrees. Therefore, you can find the number of sides by substituting this sum into the formula and then solving for "n".

5, -3, and -1 + 2i

Answers

Answer:

x^4 - 15x^2 - 38x - 60.

Step-by-step explanation:

Writing it in factor form:

( x - 5)(x + 3) ( x - (-1 + 2i) )(x - (-1 - 2i))

There are 4 parentheses because  complex roots occur in pairs.

( x - (-1 + 2i) )(x - (-1 - 2i))

=  ( x + 1 - 2i) )(x +1 + 2i))

=  x^2 + x + 2ix + x + 1 + 2i - 2ix - 2i  + 4

= x^2 + 2x + 4.

So our polynomial is

( x - 5)(x + 3)( x^2 + 2x + 4)

=  (x^2 - 2x - 15)(x^2 + 2x + 4)

= x^4 + 2x^3 + 4x^2 - 2x^3 - 4x^2 - 8x - 15x^2 - 30x - 60

= x^4 - 15x^2 - 38x - 60.

Type the correct answer in the box. Mr. Jensen is a salesperson for an insurance company. His monthly paycheck includes a base salary of $2,175 and a commission of $250 for each policy he sells. Write an equation, in slope-intercept form, that represents the total amount, y, in dollars, of Mr. Jensen's paycheck in a month when he sells x policies. Do not include dollar signs in the equation.

Answers

Answer:

y= 250x + 2175

Step-by-step explanation:

the slope intercept form is y = mx + b so you would put 250 for the M because it depends on each policy he sells which is X so y = 250x + b and B is the fixed price of 2,175 so you would get Y = 250x + 2175 as your answer

Answer:

The required answer is [tex]y = 250x + 2175[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The base salary of Mr. Jensen is 2175.

The commission per policy is 250.

The slope intercept form is:

[tex]y = mx + c[/tex]

Where, m is slope and c is y intercept.

Let "x" be the number of policy Mr. Jensen sells and "y" is the total paycheck including the commission.  

[tex]y = 250x + 2175[/tex]

Therefore, the required answer is [tex]y = 250x + 2175[/tex].
