A large asteroid crashed into a moon of another planet causing several boulders from the moon to be propelled into space toward the planet. Astronomers were able to measure the speed of one of the projectiles. The distance (in feet) that the projectile traveled each second, starting with the first second, was given by the arithmetic progression 18,54, 90,126, . Find the distance that the projectile traveled in the eighth second.
Answer:
270 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
From the sequence given, we can see that the asteroid travels 36 feet more with each second. (as seen [tex]54-18=36[/tex] and [tex]90-54=36[/tex] etc.)
So 5th second, it will travel: [tex]126+36=162[/tex]
6th second, it will travel: [tex]162+36=198[/tex]
7th second, it will travel: [tex]198+36=234[/tex]
8th second, it will travel: [tex]234+36=270[/tex]
Hence, in the eighth second, the projectile traveled 270 feet.
The distance the projectile travels in the eighth second is found to be 270 feet.
The question asks for the distance a projectile travels in the eighth second, given that the distances it covers each second form an arithmetic progression with initial distances given as 18, 54, 90, 126, etc. In an arithmetic progression, the difference between any two consecutive terms is constant, known as the common difference.
To find the common difference (d), we subtract the first term from the second term:
d = 54 - 18 = 36
The nth term of an arithmetic sequence can be found using the formula:
T(n) = a + (n - 1)d
Here, a represents the first term, which is 18, and d is the common difference we found to be 36. Substituting the values to find the eighth term:
T(8) = 18 + (8 - 1) x 36T(8)
= 18 + 7 x 36T(8)
= 18 + 252T(8) = 270
Thus, the distance the projectile travels in the eighth second is 270 feet.
Suppose you deposit $2,500 in a savings account that pays interest at an annual rate of 5%. If no money is added or withdrawn from the account, answer the following questions.
a. How much will be in the account after 3 years?
b. How much will be in the account after 17 years?
c. How many years will it take for the account to contain $3,000?
d. How many years will it take for the account to contain $3,500?
Final answer:
a. The account will have $2,839.25 after 3 years. b. The account will have $5,148.64 after 17 years. c. It will take approximately 4.329 years for the account to contain $3,000. d. It will take approximately 6.646 years for the account to contain $3,500.
Explanation:
a. To calculate the amount in the account after 3 years, we can use the formula: A = P(1 + r)^t, where A is the amount, P is the initial deposit, r is the interest rate, and t is the number of years. In this case, P = $2,500, r = 5% = 0.05, and t = 3. Plugging in these values, we get A = 2500(1 + 0.05)^3. Calculating this, we get A = $2,839.25.
b. Using the same formula, we can calculate the amount in the account after 17 years. P = $2,500, r = 5% = 0.05, and t = 17. Plugging in these values, we get A = 2500(1 + 0.05)^17. Calculating this, we get A = $5,148.64.
c. To find out how many years it will take for the account to contain $3,000, we can rearrange the formula to solve for t. The equation becomes 3000 = 2500(1 + 0.05)^t. Dividing both sides by 2500, we get 1.2 = (1.05)^t. Taking the logarithm of both sides, we have log(1.2) = t * log(1.05). Solving for t, we find t = log(1.2) / log(1.05). Using a calculator, we get t ≈ 4.329 years.
d. Following the same steps, we can find the number of years it will take for the account to contain $3,500. The equation becomes 3500 = 2500(1 + 0.05)^t. Dividing both sides by 2500, we get 1.4 = (1.05)^t. Taking the logarithm of both sides, we have log(1.4) = t * log(1.05). Solving for t, we find t = log(1.4) / log(1.05). Using a calculator, we get t ≈ 6.646 years.
The amount in the account can be calculated using the compound interest formula. After 3 years, the account will have approximately $2,894.07, and after 17 years, it will have approximately $6,003.94. It will take about 3.57 years to reach $3,000 and about 6.57 years to reach $3,500.
To calculate how much money will be in a savings account after a certain number of years with a fixed annual interest rate, we use the compound interest formula:
Compound Interest Formula
A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt)
Where:
A is the amount of money accumulated after n years, including interest.P is the principal amount (the initial amount of money).r is the annual interest rate (decimal).n is the number of times that interest is compounded per year.t is the number of years the money is invested or borrowed for.In this case, the interest is compounded annually, so n = 1.
Question a: How much will be in the account after 3 years?
Given:
P = $2,500r = 5% = 0.05n = 1t = 3Using the formula:
A = 2500 (1 + 0.05/1)¹ˣ³ = 2500 (1.05)³ ≈ $2,894.07
Question b: How much will be in the account after 17 years?
Given:
P = $2,500r = 5% = 0.05n = 1t = 17Using the formula:
A = 2500 (1 + 0.05/1)¹ˣ¹⁷ = 2500 (1.05)¹⁷ ≈ $6,003.94
Question c: How many years will it take for the account to contain $3,000?
Given:
P = $2,500A = $3,000r = 5% = 0.05n = 1Using the formula and solving for t:
3000 = 2500 (1.05)^t
Divide both sides by 2500:(3000/2500) = (1.05)^t1.2 = (1.05)^tTake the natural logarithm of both sides:ln(1.2) = t ln(1.05)Solve for t:t = ln(1.2) / ln(1.05) ≈ 3.57 years
Question d: How many years will it take for the account to contain $3,500?
Given:
P = $2,500A = $3,500r = 5% = 0.05n = 1Using the formula and solving for t:
3500 = 2500 (1.05)^t
Divide both sides by 2500:
(3500/2500) = (1.05)^t1.4 = (1.05)^tTake the natural logarithm of both sides:ln(1.4) = t ln(1.05)Solve for t:
t = ln(1.4) / ln(1.05) ≈ 6.57 years

A ball is dropped from a heigh of h feet and repeatedly bounces off the floor. After each bounce, the ball reaches a height that is 2/3 of the height feom which it oreviously fell. For example, after the first bounce, the ball reaches a height of 2/3h feet. What represents the total number of feet the ball travels between the firat and the sixth bounce?
Answer:
[tex]s = \sum^5_1 {(2h)(\frac{2}{3})^i},[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The initial height of the ball is h
After the first bounce the height is [tex]\frac{2}{3}h[/tex]
After the second bounce the height is [tex]\frac{2}{3}(\frac{2}{3})h[/tex]
After the i-th rebound the height is [tex](\frac{2}{3}) ^ i[/tex]
Then, distance s traveled by the ball is the sum of the heights reached between the first and fifth bounces.
[tex]s = 2 [\frac{2}{3}h + \frac{2}{3}(\frac{2}{3})h +, ..., + (\frac{2}{3}) ^ n h][/tex]
The equation is multiplied by 2 because the distance the ball travels when it goes up is the same as it travels down.
Finally the distance is a geometric series as shown:
[tex]s = \sum^5_1 {(2h)(\frac{2}{3})^i},[/tex]
The total distance traveled by the ball between the first and sixth bounce is [tex]\( \frac{23}{3}h \)[/tex] feet.
Step 1: Find the distance traveled during the first fall:
- The ball is dropped from a height of [tex]\( h \)[/tex] feet.
- So, the distance traveled during the first fall is [tex]\( h \)[/tex] feet.
Step 2: Find the distance traveled during each subsequent bounce:
- After each bounce, the ball reaches a height that is [tex]\( \frac{2}{3} \)[/tex] of the height from which it previously fell.
- During each bounce, the ball travels twice the distance of the height it reached.
- Therefore, during each bounce, the total distance traveled is [tex]\( \frac{4}{3}h \)[/tex] feet.
Step 3: Find the total distance traveled between the first and sixth bounce:
- Since we're asked for the distance between the first and sixth bounce, we have 5 subsequent bounces.
- The total distance traveled between the first and sixth bounce is the sum of the distance traveled during the first fall and the total distance traveled during the subsequent five bounces.
- So, it's [tex]\( h + 5 \times \left(\frac{4}{3}h\right) \)[/tex]feet.
Step 4: Calculate the total distance:
- Substitute the values and calculate: [tex]\( h + \frac{20}{3}h = \frac{23}{3}h \)[/tex]feet.
Therefore, the total number of feet the ball travels between the first and sixth bounce is [tex]\( \frac{23}{3}h \).[/tex]

Diagonal AC divides the trapezoid ABCD (with bases AD and BC, AD>BC) into two similar triangles, △ABC and △DCA. Find AC if BC=4 cm and AD=9 cm.
Answer:
6 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Let k represent the scale factor between ΔABC and ΔDCA. Then ...
... CA = k·BC
... AD = k·CA
So, AD/BC = k·(k·BC)/BC = k² = 9/4
Then k = √(9/4) = 3/2, and ...
... CA = (3/2)·BC = (3/2)·(4 cm)
... CA = 6 cm
Final answer:
To find the length of diagonal AC in trapezoid ABCD, we utilize the properties of similar triangles created by the diagonal. Since triangles △ABC and △DCA are similar, we set up a proportion using the sides BC and AD, and solve for AC to find that AC is 6 cm.
Explanation:
The question asks us to find the diagonal AC of trapezoid ABCD where it's given that BC = 4 cm and AD = 9 cm, and triangles △ABC and △DCA are similar. To find AC, we can use the properties of similar triangles which dictate that corresponding sides are proportional. Let us consider that the trapezoid is split into two triangles by AC. The ratio of the smaller triangle's base to the larger triangle's base (BC:AD) must be the same as the ratio of any other pair of corresponding sides in these two similar triangles. Furthermore, the ratio of the longer leg of △ABC (which is AC) to its base BC is equal to the ratio of the longer leg of △DCA (which is also AC) to its base AD. Using these ratios, we can set up a proportion to solve for AC:
AC/BC = AC/AD
Since the length of AC is the same in both ratios, we can multiply both sides by BC*AD to get:
[tex]AC^2 = BC * AD[/tex]
By substituting the given values for BC and AD into the equation we get:
[tex]AC^2 = 4 cm * 9 cm[/tex]
[tex]AC^2 = 36 cm^2[/tex]
To find AC, we take the square root of both sides:
AC = √36 cm
AC = 6 cm
Hence, the length of diagonal AC is 6 cm.

3x − y = −7
3x − y = −5
3x − y = 5
x + 3y = −5
Answer:
3x - y = -7
Step-by-step explanation:
y = mx + b
m = deltay/deltax
m = (10 - 1)/[( 1 - (-2)]
m = 9/3 = 3
y = 3x + b
From (-2 | 1) we see that when x = -2, y = 1
Placing into the equation, in order to find b (y-intercept)
y = 3x + b
1 = 3(-2) + b
b = 7
y = 3x + 7 or 3x - y = -7
Calculate the slope (m) using the two provided points and use it along with one of the points in the point-slope formula.
Simplify to get the slope-intercept form, and rearrange to find the equation in standard form, which is 3x - y = -7.
Explanation:To find the equation of a line that passes through two given points, first you determine the slope (m) by using the slope formula m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).
For the points (-2, 1) and (1, 10), we find the slope as (10 - 1) / (1 - (-2)) = 9 / 3 = 3.
Knowing the slope, we can use the point-slope form of a linear equation, y - y1 = m(x - x1), and plug in one of the points, say (-2, 1), to get y - 1 = 3(x + 2).
Better express this equation in slope-intercept form y = mx + b by simplifying it to y = 3x + 7.
To find the standard form, which typically looks like Ax + By = C, rearrange terms to get 3x - y = -7.
This is the standard form equation of the line that passes through (-2, 1) and (1, 10).

Step-by-step explanation:
The given function is
f(x)= [tex]\frac{-2}{3x}+1[/tex]
To find is the value of f(3)
Now we can find the value of a function by putting the vlaue in the given equation of the function
we can see that we have to find the value of f(3) and or given function is f(x)
so we have to put the value of x to be equal to 3 so that we can get the value of the desired function at a given point
Now
In this
x =3
f(x) = [tex]\frac{-2}{3x}+1[/tex] ................(i)
Put x = 3 in equation (i)
it becomes
f(3) = [tex]\frac{-2}{3*3}+1[/tex]
f(3) = [tex]\frac{-2}{9}+1[/tex]
Taking the LCM and solving it
LCM of 1 and 9 is 9 so it becomes
f(3) = [tex]\frac{-2+9}{9}[/tex]
f(3) = [tex]\frac{7}{9}[/tex]
which is the required value

A rectangle is inscribed in a semicircle of radius 8 cm. What is the maximum area of the rectangle?
The maximum area of a rectangle inscribed in a semicircle of radius 8 cm is found by maximizing the product of its width and height, which occurs when the rectangle's height is half the radius. Using the Pythagorean theorem, the optimal dimensions are calculated, leading to a maximum area of approximately 27.71 cm².
Explanation:To find the maximum area of a rectangle inscribed in a semicircle of radius 8 cm, we can employ a geometrical approach. Let the width of the rectangle be w and the height h. Because the rectangle is inscribed in a semicircle, the diagonal of the rectangle will be the radius of the semicircle, and the width of the rectangle will span from the midpoint of the diameter to a point on the circumference of the semicircle. Given the Pythagorean theorem, we have w² + h² = (2r)², where r is the radius. For our case, r = 8 cm.
Maximum area occurs when the rectangle's area is maximized. The area of the rectangle is A = w × h. By using the relation obtained from the Pythagorean Theorem, and knowing that for a rectangle inscribed in a semicircle the height will be half the radius when the area is maximized, we find h = r/2 = 4 cm. Substituting back into the Pythagorean Theorem, we find w = √(8² - 4²) = √64 - 16 = √48 = 4√3 cm. Therefore, the maximum area of the rectangle is A = w × h = 4√3 × 4 = 16√3 cm². This is approximately 27.71 cm².
This question combines geometry and basic principles of optimization to find the maximum area of a geometric shape within defined constraints, showcasing the application of mathematical reasoning in problem-solving.

Answer:
Yes, the triangles are similar.
x=7.2
Step-by-step explanation:
Similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape not not the same size. This can be seen when triangles have the same exact angle measures. The triangles in number 4 have the exact same angle measures and are therefore similar. Because they are similar, their sides have a special relationship. They are proportional on each triangle. We can set a proportion to find an unknown length.
A proportion is a ratio between two related quantities. We will write a proportion from one triangle side to the corresponding side on the other.

Answer: (B) -2, (E) 1, (F) 2
Step-by-step explanation:
x³ - x² - 4x + 4
= x²(x - 1) - 4(x - 1)
= (x² - 4) (x - 1)
= (x - 2)(x + 2)(x - 1)
Set each factor equal to zero to find the roots:
x - 2 = 0 x + 2 = 0 x - 1 = 0
x = 2 x = -2 x = 1
Answer:
-2,1,2
Step-by-step explanation:
5x^2-(3xy-7x^2)+(5xy-12x^2)
When x=-0.25, and y=4
[tex]5x^2-(3xy-7x^2)+(5xy-12x^2)=5x^2-3xy+7x^2+5xy-12x^2=2xy\\\\ 2\cdot(-0.25)\cdot4=-2[/tex]
Answer:
-2
Step-by-step explanation:
5x^2-(3xy-7x^2)+(5xy-12x^2)
5x^2-3xy+7x^2+5xy-12x^2
[(5x^2+7x^2-12x^2)=0]
-3xy+5xy= -3(-.25)(4)+5(-.25)(4)
-3(-.25)(4)+5(-.25)(4)= 3-5= -2
-2
