Answer:

= 0.0625 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a piece of paper = 1 unit²

then we tear this paper into half.

So area becomes 0.5 unit²

In this way the sequence formed will be

1, 0.5, 0.25, .........

This sequence is a geometric sequence

as \frac{T_{2} }{T_{1}}= \frac{0.5}{1}=0.5

common ratio r = 0.5

We have to find the 5th term of this sequence

Explicit formula of a geometric sequence is represented by

             T_{n} =a(r)^{n-1}

Now      T_{5} =1(0.5)^{5-1}

                   = (0.5)⁴

                   = 0.0625 in²

After 5 tears area would be  0.0625 in²

Answer:

Area = \frac{1}{16} square units

Step-by-step explanation:

To predict the area of the piece of paper after 5 tears we can use a geometric sequence.

Each time a piece is torn, half of the previous area is lost. If the area of the first piece is 1 square unit then:

a_1 = 1\\\\r = \frac{1}{2}\\\\a_2 = 1 *\frac{1}{2}\\\\a_2 = \frac{1}{2}\\\\a_n = 1(\frac{1}{2})^{n-1}\\\\a_5 = 1(\frac{1}{2})^{5-1}

a_5 = \frac{1}{16} square units

Here is the histogram of a data distribution. All class widths are 1. What is the median of this distribution?
Bingel [31]

Answer:

The median is 4.

Step-by-step explanation

if you layout all the number, you get

1,2,2,3,3,3,4,5,5,5,6,6,7

So, to find the median you find the number(s) right in the middle.

(Ex. 3,4,5; 4 is the median)

(Ex. 3,4,5,7; 4.5 is the answer)

The middle number of

1,2,2,3,3,3,4,5,5,5,6,6,7

is 4, so 4 is the median.

hope this helps. :)

Caroline resting heart is 52 beats per minute (bpm). When she starts running her heart rate increases 1.25% each second until it
horsena [70]

Answer:74.55 beat per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Heart beat is 52 beat per minute

i.e. B=\frac{52}{60} beat per sec

If heart rate is increases 1.25 % each sec

suppose B is the heart beat at first second therefore heat beat at 2 nd second

B_2=B+1.25 \% B

B_2=B(1+1.25 \% )

For 3 rd sec

B_3=B(1+1.25\%)+1.25\%B(1+1.25\%)

B_3=B(1+1.25\%)^2

similarly for 3 sec

B_{30}=B(1+1.25\%)^{29}

B_{30}=1.433B

B_{30}=1.242\ \text{beat per second }

B_{30}=74.55\ \text{beat per minute}
