Which functions represent the arithmetic sequence 8, 1.5, –5, –11.5 . . . ? Check all that apply. f(n) = –6.5n + 14.5 f(n) = –1.

5n + 9.5 f(n) = 6.5n + 1.5 f(1) = 8, f(n + 1) = f(n) – 6.5 f(1) = 8, f(n + 1) = f(n) – 1.5 f(1) = 8, f(n + 1) = f(n) + 6.5

To determine which functions depict the arithmetic sequence 8, 1.5, -5, -11.5,... follow these steps:

<span>f(n) = –6.5n + 14.5... correct
f(1) = 8
f(2) = 1.5
f(3) = -5
f(4) = -11.5

f(n) = –1.5n + 9.5... incorrect
f(1) = 8
f(2) = 6.5

f(n) = 6.5n + 1.5... incorrect
f(1) = 8
f(2) = 14.5

f(1) = 8, f(n + 1) = f(n) – 6.5... correct
f(2) = 8 - 6.5 = 1.5
f(3) = 1.5 - 6.5 = -5
f(4) = -5 - 6.5 = -11.5

f(1) = 8, f(n + 1) = f(n) – 1.5... incorrect
f(2) = 8 - 1.5 = 6.5

f(1) = 8, f(n + 1) = f(n) + 6.5... incorrect
f(2) = 8 + 6.5 = 14.5

The valid functions are:
</span>f(n) = –6.5n + 14.5 and f(1) = 8, f(n + 1) = f(n) – 6.5.

Conclusion:

f(n) = –6.5n + 14.5

f(1) = 8, f(n + 1) = f(n) – 6.5

There is a mound of g pounds of gravel in a quarry. Throughout the day, 400 pounds of gravel are added to the mound. Two orders
PIT_PIT [11918]

Question is Incomplete; Complete question is given below;

A pile of g pounds of gravel exists in a quarry. During the day, 400 pounds of gravel is added to the pile. Two orders of 900 pounds are removed, resulting in the mound holding 1,500 pounds of gravel by day's end. Formulate the equation that accurately illustrates this scenario.

Answer:

The equation that best represents the situation is g+400-1800=1300.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Initial gravel amount = 'g'.

Currently Given:

Throughout the day, 400 pounds of gravel is added to the pile.

Thus we can conclude;

Gravel amount after addition = g+400

Also given:

Two orders of 900 pounds are sold and the gravel is taken from the pile.

Hence, two orders of 900 pounds = 2\times 900 = 1800 \ pounds

This leads us to state;

Gravel amount post-removal = g+400-1800

Now Given:

Remaining gravel at the end of day = 1300 pounds.

Therefore, we derive that;

g+400-1800=1300

Consequently, the equation that best describes the scenario is g+400-1800=1300.

Answer:

Part A. At least 6 hours

Part B. In less than 2.5 hours, Elijah will fall behind Mercedes

Part C. In over 2.5 hours, Elijah will lead Aubrey

Step-by-step explanation:

D = distance

v = speed

t = time

Formula connecting D, v, and t:

D=v\cdot t

Part A.

Steve's speed: v=3.5\ mph

Distance: a minimum of 21 miles

Time: unknown, so

3.5\cdot t\ge 21\\ \\35t\ge 210\ [\text{Multiplied by 10}]\\ \\t\ge \dfrac{210}{35}\\ \\t\ge \dfrac{30}{5}\\ \\t\ge 6

It would require Steve a minimum of 6 hours to traverse at least 21 miles on Day 1.

Part B.

Mercedes's speed: v_M=2.4\ mph

Elijah's speed: v_E=3.2\ mph

Elijah's Distance walked: D_E miles

Mercedes's Distance walked: D_M miles

Time: x hours

Mercedes is 2 miles ahead, therefore

D_E=3.2x\\ \\D_M=2.4x+2

Elijah will trail behind until

D_E

In 2.5 hours, Elijah will close the gap on Mercedes, and in less than 2.5 hours, Elijah will trail behind her.

Part C.

Aubrey's speed: v_M=3\ mph

Elijah's speed: v_E=3.2\ mph

Elijah's Distance walked: D_E miles

Aubrey's Distance walked: D_A miles

Time: x hours

At the beginning of Day 3, Elijah starts from Mile 42, while Aubrey begins at Mile 42.5.

D_E=42+3.2x\\ \\D_A=42.5+3x

Elijah will be ahead of Aubrey when

D_E>D_A\\ \\42+3.2x> 42.5+3x\\ \\3.2x-3x>42.5-42\\ \\0.2x>0.5\\ \\2x>5\ [\text{Multiplied by 10}]\\ \\x>\dfrac{5}{2}\\ \\x>2.5\ hours

In 2.5 hours, Elijah will surpass Aubrey, and after more than 2.5 hours, Elijah will outpace Aubrey.

On a vacation in Puerto Rico, Rose jumped off a cliff into a river in EL Yunque Forest Reserve. Her height as a function of time
Leona [12105]
H (t) = - 16t ^ 2 + 16t + 480
To address this, we first set the polynomial to zero to find its roots.
So we have:
0 = -16t ^ 2 + 16t + 480
This leads us to the roots of the polynomial:
t1 = -5
t2 = 6
We disregard the negative root since time cannot be less than zero.
Final answer:
Rose takes about
t = 6 seconds

Which function has a simplified base of 4RootIndex 3 StartRoot 4 EndRoot? f(x) = 2(RootIndex 3 StartRoot 16 EndRoot) Superscript
tester [11900]

Response:

  f(x)=4\sqrt[3]{16}^{2x}

Detailed explanation:

You're likely in search of a function with a base that can be simplified to...

  4\sqrt[3]{4}\approx 6.3496

The functions you seem to be considering appear to be...

  f(x)=2\sqrt[3]{16}^x\approx 2\cdot2.5198^x\\\\f(x)=2\sqrt[3]{64}^x=2\cdot 4^x\\\\f(x)=4\sqrt[3]{16}^{2x}\approx 4\cdot 6.3496^x\ \leftarrow\text{ this one}\\\\f(x)=4\sqrt[3]{64}^{2x}=4\cdot 16^x

It looks like the third option is the one that fits your requirements.
