can a sequence be both arithmetic and geometric?

Answers

Answer 1
an aritmetic sequence is like this
[tex]a_n=a_1+d(n-1)[/tex] where a1=first term and d=common difference

geometric is [tex]a_n=a_1(r)^{n-1}[/tex] where a1=first term and r=common ratio


can it be both aritmetic and geometric
hmm, that means that the starting terms should be the same

therfor we need to solve [tex]d(n-1)=(r)^{n-1}[/tex]
what values of d and r make all natural numbers of n true?
are there values that make all natural numbers for n true?

when n=1, then d(1-1)=0 and r^(1-1)=1, so already they are not equal

the answer is no, a sequence cannot be both aritmetic and geometric
Answer 2

A sequence can be both arithmetic and geometric, and this is illustrated where terms follow both an arithmetic and geometric progression.

Yes, a sequence can be both arithmetic and geometric. An example of such a sequence is when the terms of the sequence follow both an arithmetic progression, where the difference between consecutive terms is constant, and a geometric progression, where each term after the first is found by multiplying the previous term by a fixed, non-zero number.

A stack of one hundred fifty cards is placed next to a ruler, and the height of the stack is measured to be
3/4 inches.

How thick is one card?

Answers

.005 inches is the answer. you just divide 3/4 inches by 150

Answer: One card is 0.005 inches thick.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of cards in a stack = 150

Thickness of the stack = [tex]\dfrac{3}{4}\ inches[/tex]

So, Thickness of each card is calculated by "Unitary method":

Thickness of 150 cards  = [tex]\dfrac{3}{4}\ inches[/tex]

Thickness of 1 card is given by

[tex]\dfrac{3}{4\times 150}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{4\times 50}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{200}\\\\=0.005\ inches[/tex]

Hence, One card is 0.005 inches thick.

Given the point and it''s image, determine the scale factor. A (3, 6) A'' (4.5, 9) G'' (3, 6) G (1.5, 3) B (2, 5) B'' (1, 2.5).

Answers

Put the value of the letters with " over the original
So for A we have 3 in the front and 4.5 for A"
4.5/3 = 1.5
We can check if this is actually the scale factor but using the other numbers
The second numbers for A and A" are 6 and 9
6 * 1.5 = 9
So for point A it is 1.5
Use the same thing for G. That gives you 2
For B, you get 0.5
So the scale factors are 1.5, 2, and 0.5

Final answer:

The scale factors for the points given are 1.5 for A to A', indicating an enlargement, and 0.5 for B to B', indicating a reduction. G to G' also indicates a reduction with a factor of 0.5.

Explanation:

To determine the scale factor given the point and its image, you can find the ratio between the coordinates of the image and the original coordinates. Let's analyze the pairs of points you've provided:

A (3, 6) and A' (4.5, 9)

G (1.5, 3) and G' (3, 6)

B (2, 5) and B' (1, 2.5)

We can find the scale factor by dividing the x-coordinates of the image by the original x-coordinate and doing the same for the y-coordinates. For point A:

Scale factor for x: 4.5 / 3 = 1.5

Scale factor for y: 9 / 6 = 1.5

For point G, we see that it's actually the reverse (original to image), but you can still calculate:

Scale factor for x: 3 / 1.5 = 2

Scale factor for y: 6 / 3 = 2

Lastly, for point B:

Scale factor for x: 1 / 2 = 0.5

Scale factor for y: 2.5 / 5 = 0.5

So, the scale factors for A to A' and for B to B' are 1.5 and 0.5, respectively, showing that A to A' is an enlargement while B to B' is a reduction. For G to G', the reverse is a reduction with a factor of 0.5.

the moon is 250,000 miles away. how many feet is it from earth

Answers

225,623 miles. Hope this helps.

To convert the distance from the Earth to the Moon from miles to feet, multiply 250,000 miles by the number of feet in a mile, which is 5,280. This calculation yields a result of approximately 1.32 billion feet.

The distance from the Earth to the Moon is given as 250,000 miles. To convert this distance from miles to feet, we use the fact that there are 5,280 feet in a mile. Thus, we multiply the distance in miles by the number of feet per mile.

To find the distance in feet, perform the following calculation:

Multiply the distance in miles by the number of feet per mile: 250,000 miles × 5,280 feet/mile.

This equals 1,320,000,000 feet.

Therefore, the Moon is approximately 1.32 billion feet away from Earth.

Find, correct to the nearest degree, the three angles of the triangle with the vertices d(0,1,1), e( 2, 4,3) − , and f(1, 2, 1)

Answers

Well, here's one way to do it at least... 

For reference, let 'a' be the side opposite A (segment BC), 'b' be the side opposite B (segment AC) and 'c' be the side opposite C (segment AB). 

Let P=(4,0) be the projection of B onto the x-axis. 
Let Q=(-3,0) be the projection of C onto the x-axis. 

Look at the angle QAC. It has tangent = 5/4 (do you see why?), so angle A is atan(5/4). 

Likewise, angle PAB has tangent = 6/3 = 2, so angle PAB is atan(2). 

Angle A, then, is 180 - atan(5/4) - atan(2) = 65.225. One down, two to go. 

||b|| = sqrt(41) (use Pythagorian Theorum on triangle AQC) 
||c|| = sqrt(45) (use Pythagorian Theorum on triangle APB) 

Using the Law of Cosines... 
||a||^2 = ||b||^2 + ||c||^2 - 2(||b||)(||c||)cos(A) 
||a||^2 = 41 + 45 - 2(sqrt(41))(sqrt(45))(.4191) 
||a||^2 = 86 - 36 
||a||^2 = 50 
||a|| = sqrt(50) 

Now apply the Law of Sines to find the other two angles. 

||b|| / sin(B) = ||a|| / sin(A) 
sqrt(41) / sin(B) = sqrt(50) / .9080 
(.9080)sqrt(41) / sqrt(50) = sin(B) 
.8222 = sin(B) 
asin(.8222) = B 
55.305 = B 

Two down, one to go... 

||c|| / sin(C) = ||a|| / sin(A) 
sqrt(45) / sin(C) = sqrt(50) / .9080 
(.9080)sqrt(45) / sqrt(50) = sin(C) 
.8614 = sin(C) 
asin(.8614) = C 
59.470 = C 

So your three angles are: 

A = 65.225 
B = 55.305 
C = 59.470

Your car gets about 30 miles per gallon. You are planning to drive to see your friends who live about 930 miles away. How many gallons of gas will you need to purchase to make the trip to see your friends and return home? State your anwser to the nearest gallon?

Answers

(930 divided by 30= 31) 31 multiplied by 2 is 62. So 62 is the answer

For the round trip of 930 miles each way, you will need to purchase about 62 gallons of gas, given a car's gas mileage of 30 miles per gallon.

To calculate the gallons of gas needed for the round trip, follow these steps:

Calculate the total distance for the round trip.

The round trip distance is twice the one-way distance.

Round trip distance = 2 * 930 miles = 1860 miles.

Find the number of gallons required for the round trip.

Divide the total distance by the car's gas mileage (miles per gallon).

Gallons required = Round trip distance / Gas mileage

Gallons required = 1860 miles / 30 miles per gallon

Perform the division.

Gallons required = 62 gallons.

Round the answer.

Since you cannot purchase a fraction of a gallon, round the answer to the nearest gallon.

You will need to purchase approximately 62 gallons of gas for the round trip.

So, to make the trip to see your friends and return home, you will need to purchase about 62 gallons of gas.

Frederick is working on a number puzzle and discovers that the product of the two base numbers is exactly twice as large as the sum of those same base numbers.
Help on this, please?

Answers

Final answer:

The two base numbers can be represented as x and y. Setting them equal in the equation x * y = 2(x + y) allows you to solve for them. One solution is x = 2 and y = 2.

Explanation:

This problem can be solved using basic algebra. Let's assume the two base numbers be x and y. Since the product of the two base numbers (x * y) is twice as large as the sum of those numbers (x + y), we can create the following equation: x * y = 2(x + y).

To solve for x and y, you may set x and y to different numbers and check if they satisfy the equation. One solution is x = 2 and y = 2, since 2*2 = 2(2+2). Similarly, other pairs of numbers may also satisfy this equation based on the specific constraints of Frederick's number puzzle.

Explanation:

To solve the number puzzle, we need to find two base numbers whose product is exactly twice as large as their sum. Let's represent the base numbers as 'a' and 'b'. According to the information given, we have the equation:

ab = 2(a + b).

We can simplify the equation by rearranging the terms and factoring: ab - 2a - 2b = 0. Using a technique called 'completing the square', we can rewrite the equation as (a - 2)(b - 2) = 4.

From here, we can choose different values for 'a' and 'b' that satisfy the equation, such as a = 3 and b = 6. Therefore, the base numbers for the number puzzle are 3 and 6.

What is the common ratio for this geometric sequence?

Answers

Answer is c 1/4 and yes it is the true answer

Answer:  The correct option is (C) [tex]\dfrac{1}{4}.[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the common ratio for the following geometric sequence :

64,   16,   4,   1,   .   .    .

We know that

if a(n) represents the n-th term of a geometric series, then the common ratio is given by

[tex]r=\dfrac{a(n+1)}{a(n)},~~~n=0,~1,~2,~~.~~.~~.[/tex]

For the given geometric sequence, we have

a(1) = 64,  a(2) = 16,  a(3) = 4,  a(4) = 1,  .  .  .

So, the common ratio r will be given by

[tex]r=\dfrac{a(2)}{a(1)}=\dfrac{a(3)}{a(2)}=\dfrac{a(4)}{a(3)}=~~.~~.~~.[/tex]

We have

[tex]\dfrac{a(2)}{a(1)}=\dfrac{16}{64}=\dfrac{1}{4},\\\\\\\dfrac{a(3)}{a(2)}=\dfrac{4}{16}=\dfrac{1}{4},\\\\\\\dfrac{a(4)}{a(3)}=\dfrac{1}{4},~~\cdots[/tex]

Thus, the required common ratio for the given geometric sequence is [tex]\dfrac{1}{4}.[/tex]

Option (C) is CORRECT.

Answers

Let's examine the function:
Before you tell anybody, only one person knows the secret (that is you), therefore: N(0) = 1
When the first person know, now two people know, therefore: N(1) = 2
After an hour, each of you would have told another person. So now, four people know, therefore, N(2) = 4

Tiffany Baldwin earns $800 every week. Her federal income tax is $25. Her state tax is $11. Her FICA is 7.65% of his gross salary. She contributes 2% of her gross earnings to a 401K. She has $20 per paycheck deducted post-tax to pay for her gym membership. What are her pre-tax deductions?

Answers

Tiffany Baldwin's pre-tax deductions are the parts of her salary that she does not have to pay income tax on. Those include the parts of her salary that already go to taxes, which are her federal income tax, state income tax, and her FICA (Social Security and Medicare) taxes. Those taxes are $25 + $11 + ($800 x .0765) = $97.20. Baldwin's other pre-tax deduction is her contribution to her 401K retirement account, which is $800 x .02 = $16. So, her total pre-tax deductions for a week are $97.20 + $16 = $113.20. The amount she has taken out for her gym membership is "post-tax", meaning she still has to pay income tax on that $20 every week, so this is not included.
