Which of the following is the general term for the sequence? -a, a^2, -a^3, a^4,...

-a(-a)^ n-1
(-a)^n + 1
(-1)a^n + 1
a(-1)^n - 1

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer would be [tex]-a(-a)^{n-1}[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

We can simply substitute the terms into this equation. Checking the 1st term, [tex]-a(-a)^{1-1} = -a(-a)^{0} = -a(1) = -a[/tex]. Moving on to the second term, we see [tex]-a(-a)^{2-1} = -a(-a)^{1} = -a(-a) = a^{2}[/tex]. And so on and so forth. We can see how the answer fluctuates between negative and positive, while gaining one more exponent every term, which fits with the sequence given. Therefore, the answer would be [tex]-a(-a)^{n-1}[/tex].

Hope this helped!

The bulding is 381,623 meters high.

Step-by-step explanation:

To dertermine the height of the bulding I would use tanα = rectangulair side / closest rectangulair side.

19,08 = the height/ 20m.

Describe and correct the error in finding DC

Answers

Answer:

DC = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The wrong equation was used.

The right equation to use based on the midsegment theorem of a trapezoid is:

MN = ½(AB + DC)

MN = 8

AB = 14

Substitute

8 = ½(14 + DC)

Multiply both sides by 2

8*2 = ½(14 + DC)*2

2*8 = 14 + DC

16 = 14 + DC

16 - 14 = 14 + DC - 14

2 = DC

DC = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:

Amount of food dog eat each day = 0.48 kilogram

Find:

Amount of food need for 30 days

Computation:

⇔ Amount of food need for 30 days = Amount of food dog eat each day x number of days

⇔ Amount of food need for 30 days = 0.48 x 30

Amount of food need for 30 days = 14.4 kilogram

Answer:

  e. Exponential growth occurs when a population increases at a fixed percentage of every generation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential growth occurs when the amount of increase is proportional to the population. That is, the increase is a fixed percentage of the population in any given time period (generation).

__

Many populations appear to have exponential growth when resources are effectively unlimited. The growth can be rapid, but isn't always. At some point, the population generally finds a limit to its growth, which then ceases to be exponential.

A function describing population growth that is jointly proportional to population and available resources is called a logistic function. It has an exponential component, but is not an exponential function.

Answer:

  AC ≈ 6.8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

For legs a and b of a right triangle with hypotenuse c, the Pythagorean theorem tells us ...

  a = √(c² -b²)

Using this relation, we can find legs CE and AE.

  CE = √(3² -2²) = √5

  AE = √(5² -2²) = √21

AC is the sum of these two lengths:

  AC = AE +EC = √21 +√5

  AC ≈ 6.8 cm

Answers

Answer:

So, to fill the tray completely , he needs 3 bags of sand.

Step-by-step explanation:

Tray dimensions,

length = 0.8 m

Width = 0.6 m

height = 0.1 m

Volume of one sand bag = 17000 cm^3

Let the volume of the tray is V.

V = length x idth x height

V = 0.8 x 0.6 x 0.1 = 0.048 m^3

Number of sand bags

Step 1 of 3 : How much fuel is consumed by 11 AM? Round your answer to 2 decimal places.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

the answer is in the image above

The amount of oil consumed in 5 hours is 120.5 barrels.

What is an equation?

In mathematics, an equation is a formula that expresses the equality of two expressions, by connecting them with the equals sign =.

Given is an equation, of fuel consumption in a factory from 6 am to 6 pm,

The equation =

f(t) = 0.9t³-0.6[tex]t^{0.5}[/tex]+10

where t is the time in hours after 6 am and f(t) is the number of barrels of fuel oil.

We need to find the how much oil is consumed by 11 am,

So, the hours between 11 am to 6 am = 11-6 = 5 hours

So, we need to find the oil consumption in 5 hours, so for the same put t = 5, in the equation,

f(5) = 0.9(5)³-0.6[tex](5)^{0.5[/tex]+10

= 112.5-2+10

= 120.5

Hence, the amount of oil consumed in 5 hours is 120.5 barrels.
