A fuel is purified by passing it through a clay pipe. Each foot of the clay pipe removes a fixed percentage of impurities in the

fuel. Let f(x) represent the amount of pollutants, in tons, left in the fuel after it had passed through x feet of the clay pipe.
f(x) = 10(0.8)x

What does the number 0.8 represent?

You jog 6/23 miles around a track each day. If you jogged that distance 4 times last week, how many miles did you jog?
LenaWriter [7]
Well, since you jogged 6/23 mi. a day, for 4 days, it'll be (6/23)×4. This is 24/23 which is one mile and 1/24 of one.

A number, y, is equal to twice the sum of a smaller number and 3. The larger number is also equal to 5 more than 3 times the sma
xenn [34]

Answer:

2 x minus y = negative 6 and 3 x minus y = negative 5

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 2(x+3) = 2x + 6 or 2x - y = -6

y = 5 + 3x or 3x - y = -5

Translate triangle a by vector (-3/1)to give triangle b. Then rotate your triangle b 180 degrees around the origin to give trian
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

Rotation of triangle A across a point (1.5, -0.5) by 180°.

Step-by-step explanation:

Translation of a figure about a vector \binom{-3}{1} means translation of a figure by 3 units to the left on x-axis and 1 unit in the positive direction of the y-axis.

Rule for the translation will be,

(x, y) → [(x - 3), (y + 1)]

From the figure attached,

Vertices of the triangle A are A(1, -1), B(1, -4) and C(3, -4)

After translation new image points will be A'(-2, 0), B'(-2, -3), C'(0, -3).

After rotation of these image points 180° about the origin will be,

Rule for the rotation,

(x, y) → (-x, -y)

A'(-2, 0) → A"(2, 0)

B'(-2, -3) → B"(2, 3)

C'(0, -3) → C"(0, 3)

Therefore, A(1, -1) → A"(2, 0) is the single transformation.

Rule for this transformation which maps triangle C to A will be defined by,

Rotation of triangle A across a point (1.5, -0.5) by 180°.

The following formula for the sum of the cubes of the first n integers is proved in Appendix E. Use it to evaluate the limit in
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

\lim_{n\to\infty} (1+ \frac{2}{n} +\frac{1}{n^2})

And when we apply the limit we got that:

\lim_{n\to\infty} (1+ \frac{2}{n} +\frac{1}{n^2}) =1

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming this complete problem: "The following formula for the sum of the cubes of the first n integers is proved in Appendix E. Use it to evaluate the limit . 1^3+2^3+3^3+...+n^3=[n(n+1)/2]^2"

We have the following formula in order to find the sum of cubes:

\lim_{n\to\infty} \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} i^3

We can express this formula like this:

\lim_{n\to\infty} \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}i^3 =\lim_{n\to\infty} [\frac{n(n+1)}{2}]^2

And using this property we need to proof that: 1^3+2^3+3^3+...+n^3=[n(n+1)/2]^2

\lim_{n\to\infty} [\frac{n(n+1)}{2}]^2

If we operate and we take out the 1/4 as a factor we got this:

\lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{n^2(n+1)^2}{n^4}

We can cancel n^2 and we got

\lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{(n+1)^2}{n^2}

We can reorder the terms like this:

\lim_{n\to\infty} (\frac{n+1}{n})^2

We can do some algebra and we got:

\lim_{n\to\infty} (1+\frac{1}{n})^2

We can solve the square and we got:

\lim_{n\to\infty} (1+ \frac{2}{n} +\frac{1}{n^2})

And when we apply the limit we got that:

\lim_{n\to\infty} (1+ \frac{2}{n} +\frac{1}{n^2}) =1
