Answer:

  • -35/3, -140/3, - 560/3, -2240/3
  • 7, -28, 112, - 448  

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The terms are:</u>

  • a₁, a₂, a₃, a₄

<u>Given:</u>

  • a₁ = a₂ + 35
  • a₃ = a₄ + 560

<u>Use the nth term formula:</u>

  • a₂ = a₁r
  • a₃ = a₁r²
  • a₄ = a₁r³

<u>Substitute:</u>

  • a₁ = a₁r + 35 ⇒ a₁(1 - r) = 35
  • a₁r² = a₁r³ + 560  ⇒ a₁(1 - r)r² = 560

<u>Divide the second equation by the first:</u>

  • r² = 560/35
  • r² = 16
  • r = √16
  • r = ± 4

<u>Use the first equation to find the first term:</u>

  • a₁( 1 ± 4) = 35
  • 1. a₁ = 35/-3 = -35/3
  • 2. a₁ = 35/5 = 7

<u>We have two sequences:</u>

r = 4

  • -35/3, -140/3, - 560/3, -2240/3

r = -4

  • 7, -28, 112, - 448

Zielflug [23.3K]
In order to answer the question, you need to know the area of a circle.
Area = pi * r^2
Area = 3.14 * (100/2) ^ 2
Area = 3.14 * 50^2
Area = 7850 mils^2 = 0.00785 in^2

A research group interested in understanding the effect of listening to classical music on learning mathematics conducted a stud
GalinKa [24]
First of all, this is not an observational study, but an experiment, since we have two groups and one of the two groups is manipulated or treated. In an observational study the subjects are only observed.
 
Second, the students did not choose their groups - so we can't choose the last answer.

Therefore the correct answer is:
This is an experiment because a treatment was applied to a group.

A store sells a 33-pound bag of oranges for \$ 3.60$3.60 and a 55-pound bag of oranges for \$ 5.25$5.25. What is the difference
katrin [286]

Answer:

0.01364

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

A store sells a 33-pound bag of oranges for $3.60 and a 55-pound bag of oranges for $5.25.

Price per pound of 33 pound bag is 3.60/33 = 0.10909 price per pound

Price per pound of 55 pound bag of oranges is 5.25/55 = 0.09545 price per pound

Difference between price per pound for the 33-pound bag of oranges and the price per pound for the 55-pound bag of oranges is :

D = 0.10909 - 0.09545

D = 0.01364

Therefore, this is the required solution.

If 10x + 2 = 7, what is the value of 2x?
Julli [10]

For this case we have the following equation:

10x + 2 = 7

From here, we clear the value of x.

We have then:

10x = 7-2\\10x = 5\\x = \frac {5} {10}\\x = \frac {1} {2}

Then, we look for the value of 2x. We have then:

2x = 2 \frac {1} {2}\\2x = \frac {2} {2}\\2x = 1

Answer:

The value of 2x is given by:

2x = 1
