b. Sixty-five pounds of candy was divided into four different boxes. The second box contained twice the amount of the first box.

The third box contained two more pounds than the first box. The last box contained one-fourth the amount in the second box. How much candy was in each box?

First box = 14 pounds

Second box = 2x = 28 pounds

Third Box = x+2= 16 pounds

Fourth box = x/2 = 7 pounds

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Here we have , Sixty-five pounds of candy was divided into four different boxes. The second box contained twice the amount of the first box. The third box contained two more pounds than the first box. The last box contained one-fourth the amount in the second box. We need to find How much candy was in each box. Let's find out:

We have a total of 65 pounds of candy ! Let in first box we have x pounds so , second box contained twice the amount of the first box i.e.

⇒ 2x

The third box contained two more pounds than the first box i.e.

⇒ x+2

The last box contained one-fourth the amount in the second box i.e.

⇒ (\frac{1}{4})2x = \frac{x}{4}

Therefore , Sum of pounds of candy are :

⇒ \frac{x}{2} +x+2+2x+x=65

⇒ \frac{x}{2} +4x=63

⇒ \frac{9x}{2}=63

⇒ x=63(\frac{2}{9} )

⇒ x=14

Therefore , Candy in each box is :

First box = 14 pounds

Second box = 2x = 28 pounds

Third Box = x+2= 16 pounds

Fourth box = x/2 = 7 pounds

Suppose a1=12−12,a2=23−13,a3=34−14,a4=45−15,a5=56−16. a) Find an explicit formula for an: . b) Determine whether the sequence is
lorasvet [3.4K]

I'm going to assume you meant to write fractions (because if a_n are all non-negative integers, the series would clearly diverge), so that

a_1=\dfrac12-\dfrac12

a_2=\dfrac23-\dfrac13

a_3=\dfrac34-\dfrac14

and so on.

a. If the pattern continues as above, we would have the general term

a_n=\dfrac n{n+1}-\dfrac1{n+1}=\dfrac{n-1}{n+1}

b. Note that we can write a_n as

a_n=\dfrac{n-1}{n+1}=\dfrac{n+1-2}{n+1}=1-\dfrac2{n+1}

The series diverges by comparison to the divergent series

\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac1n

Adam, imran and shakeel we're playing a card game. Adam scored × points Imran scored 3 points fewer than Adam Shakeel scored twi
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

During the card game, the number of points that Adam scored is x. Imran scored 3 points fewer than Adam. It means that the number of points that Imran scored is

(x - 3) points

I)Shakeel scored twice as many points as imran. It means that the expression for the number of points that Shakeel scored is

2(x - 3) points

Ii) Together they scored 39 points. Therefore, the equation which may be used to find the value of × would be

x + x - 3 + 2(x - 3) = 39

x + x - 3 + 2x - 6 = 39

x + x + 2x - 3 - 6 = 39

4x - 9 = 39

The vertices of △ DEF are D (2, 5), E (6, 3), and F (4, 0). Translate △ DEF using the given vector. Graph △ DEF and its image. T
jeyben [28]

Answer:

The image coordinates are D'(8, 5), E'(12, 3) and F'(10,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the vertices of △ DEF are D (2, 5), E (6, 3), and F (4, 0). We have to translate the triangle using the vector (6, 0)

Now, translation by vector (6, 0)

D (2, 5)=D'(2+6, 5+0)=D'(8, 5)

E (6, 3)=E'(6+6, 3+0)=E'(12, 3)

F (4, 0)=F'(4+6, 0+0)=F'(10,0)

Now, we have to label the coordinate of the triangle or to get image of triangle after translation.

Hence, The image coordinates are D'(8, 5), E'(12, 3) and F'(10,0)

A statue is mounted on top of a 16 foot hill. From the base of the hill to where you are standing is 77 feet and the statue subt
DanielleElmas [232]

Consider right triangle with vertices B - base of the hill, S - top of the statue and Y - you. In this triangle angle B is right and angle Y is 13.2°. If h is a height of the statue, then the legs YB and BS have lengths 77 ft and 16+h ft.

You have lengths of two legs and measure of one acute angle, then you can use tangent to find h:

\tan 13.2^{\circ}=\dfrac{\text{opposite leg}}{\text{adjacent leg}} =\dfrac{16+h}{77}, \\ \\ 0.2345=\dfrac{16+h}{77},\\  \\ 16+h=0.2345\cdot 77=18.0565,\\ h=18.0565-16=2.0565 ft.

Answer: the height of the statue is 2.0565 ft.

Figure ABCD is transformed to obtain figure A'B'C'D': A coordinate grid is shown from negative 6 to 6 on both axes at increments
nika2105 [10]

Given:

Vertices of ABCD are A(-4,4), (-2,2), C(-2,-1) and D(-4,1).

Vertices of A'B'C'D' are A'(3,-4), B'(5,-2), C'(5,1) and D'(3,-1).

To find:

The sequence of transformations that changes figure ABCD to figure A'B'C'D'.

Solution:

Part A:

The figure ABCD reflected across the x-axis, then

(x,y)\to (x,-y)

Using this rule, we get

A(-4,4)\to A_1(-4,-4)

Similarly, the other points are B_1(-2,-2),C_1(-2,1),D_1(-4,-1).

Then figure translated 7 units right to get A'B'C'D'.

(x,y)\to (x+7,y)

A_1(-4,-4)\to A'(-4+7,-4)=A'(3,-4)

Similarly, the other points are B'(5,-2), C'(5,1),D'(3,-1).

Therefore, the figure ABCD reflected across the x-axis and then translated 7 units right to get A'B'C'D'.

Part B:

Reflection and translation are rigid transformation, it means shape and size of figures remains same after reflection and translation.

Therefore, the two figures congruent.
