Answer:

<h2>D. 3</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

$a_1,\ a_2,\ a_3,\ ...,\ a_n-\text{geometric series}\\\\r=\dfrac{a_2}{a_1}=\dfrac{a_3}{a_2}=\dfrac{a_4}{a_3}=...=\dfrac{a_n}{a_{n-1}}-\text{common ratio}\\\\\text{From the table we have:}\\\\a_1=7,\ a_2=21,\ a_3=63,\ a_4=189,\ a_5=567\\\\\text{Check the common ratio:}\\\\\dfrac{21}{7}=3\\\\\dfrac{63}{21}=3\\\\\dfrac{189}{63}=3\\\\\dfrac{567}{189}=3\\\\\bold{CORRECT}$

Sections of prefabricated fencing are each 4 1/3 feet long. how long are 6 1/2 sections placed end to end

zalisa [80]

we know that

$4\frac{1}{3}= \frac{(4*3+1)}{3} =\frac{13}{3}$

$6\frac{1}{2}= \frac{(6*2+1)}{2}=\frac{13}{2}$

To find how long are $6\frac{1}{2}$ sections placed end to end

Multiply the number of sections by the length of one section

so

$\frac{13}{2} *\frac{13}{3} =\frac{169}{6}\ ft$

$\frac{169}{6}\ ft =28\frac{1}{6}\ ft$

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

$28\frac{1}{6} \ ft$

Answer:

Out of every 5 trials, the desired outcome will occur approximately 2 times

Step-by-step explanation:

The first statements states that it will happen exactly two times, but probability never guarantee the outcome

The third and fourth statement states out of 7 which cannot be true as 2-5 basically means out of 5

The table shows some of the values of a function of the form y=ax^2+bx+c which is the value of c, the constant, the constant for

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

$c=8$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: $y=ax^2+bx+c$

To find: c

Solution:

At $x=4,y=48$ :

$48=16a+4b+c$ (i)

At $x=5,y=73$ :

$73=25a+5b+c$ (ii)

At $x=6,y=104$ :

$104=36a+6b+c$ (iii)

On subtracting (i) and (ii),

$25=9a+b$ (iv)

On subtracting (i) and (iii),

$56=20a+2b\\\\28=10a+b \,\,\,\,(v)$

On subtracting (iv) and (v),

$a=3$

Put a=3 in (iv)

$25=9(3)+b\\25=27+b\\25-27=b\\-2=b$

Put $a=3,b=-2$ in (iii)

$104=36(3)+6(-2)+c\\104=108-12+c\\104=96+c\\104-96=c\\8=c$
