<h3>The ratio in three ways are 500 : 125 or 100 : 25 or 4 : 1</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

Five hundred sixth-grade students were surveyed

Which means,

sixth-grade students = 500

125 had traveled on an airplane

<em><u>What is the ratio of total sixth-grade students to the number of students who had traveled on an airplane?</u></em>

Therefore,

total sixth-grade students : students traveled on airplane = 500 : 125

<h3>Ratio = 500 : 125</h3>

Reduce to lowest terms,

Divide both sides by 5

<h3>Ratio = 100 : 25</h3>

Further reduce to simplest terms,

Divide both sides by 25

<h3>Ratio = 4 : 1</h3>

Thus the ratio in three ways are 500 : 125 or 100 : 25 or 4 : 1

Find the first, fourth, and eighth terms of the sequence. A(n) = –3 • 2^n–1

Sphinxa [80]

A(n) = –3 • 2⁽ⁿ⁻¹⁾

for n = 1 , A₁ = -3.(2)⁰ = -3
for n = 2 , A₂ = -3.(2)¹ = -6
for n = 3 , A₃ = -3.(2)² = -12
for n = 4 , A₄ = -3.(2)³ = -24
...........................................
for n = 8 , A₈ = -3.(2)⁷ = -384

Harvey has “r” red peppers and one fourth as many orange peppers. Choose the expression that shows how many orange peppers Harve

lana [24]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{4}r$

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of red pepper that Harvey has is r red peppers and one fourth as many orange peppers. What this means is that the number of orange pepper that Harvey has is one fourth the number of red peppers. Since the number of red pepper is r, therefore the number of orange pepper is given as:

Number of orange pepper = $\frac{1}{4} \ of\ red\ pepper(r)$

$Number\ of\ orange\ pepper=\frac{1}{4}r$

A ball is thrown upward and outward from a height of 77 feet. the height of the ball, f(x), in feet, can be modeled by f left

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

From the given function modeling the height of the ball:
f(x)=-0.2x^2+1.4x+7
A] The maximum height of the ball will be given by:
At max height f'(x)=0
from f(x),
f'(x)=-0.4x+1.4
solving for x we get:
-0.4x=-1.4
x=3.5ft
thus the maximum height would be:
f(3.5)=-0.2(3.5)^2+1.4(3.5)+7
f(3.5)=9.45 ft

b]
How far from where the ball was thrown did this occur:
from (a), we see that at maximum height f'(x)=0
f'(x)=-0.4x+1.4
solving for x we get:
-0.4x=-1.4
x=3.5ft
This implies that it occurred 3.5 ft from where the ball was thrown.

c] How far does the ball travel horizontally?
f(x)=-0.2x^2+1.4x+7
evaluationg the expression when f(x)=0 we get:
0=-0.2x^2+1.4x+7
Using quadratic equation formula:
x=-3.37386 or x=10.3739
We leave out the negative and take the positive answer. Hence the answer 10.3739 ft horizontally.
