This is a geometric sequence because each term is a constant multiple, called the common ratio, of the previous term. In this case the common ratio, noted as "r", is:
8/-2=-32/8=128/-32=r=-4
The first term is -2
Any geometric sequence can be expressed as:
a(n)=ar^(n-1), a=initial term, r=common ratio, n=term number.
Since we know r and a for this problem already we can say:
a(n)=-2(-4)^(n-1)
Answer:
2.10 s, 10.40 s.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the height of the rocket is given by the function:
We are asked to find the time for which the height of the rocket will be 350 ft. So, for that moment, we know the height but we don't know the time; however, we know that the equation can help us to find the time, doing h=350:
The last is a quadratic equation, which can be put in the form and solved applying the formula:
So, let's put the equation on the form adding and subtracting to each side of the equation; the result is:
So, we note that a=16, b=-200, and c=350.
Then,
According to the equation, that are the times for which the height will be 350 ft; that is because the rocket is going to ascend and then to fail again to the ground.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the exponential function of the form:
And it goes through the points (0, 13) and (3, 832).
Hence, when we substitute in 0 for x, we should get 13 for y. Therefore:
Since anything to the zeroth power is 1, this yields:
So, we determined that the value of a is 13.
So, our function is now:
We will need to determine b. We know that y equals 832 when x is 3. Hence:
Divide both sides by 13:
Take the cube root of both sides:
Hence, our b value is 4.
Therefore, our entire equation is:
x = 9
Since M is the midpoint of XY:
XM = MY
XM = 2x + 11
MY = 5x - 16
2x + 11 = 5x - 16
5x - 2x = 11 + 16
3x = 27
x = 27/3
x = 8
