tim ate 100 cookies in 5 days. each day he ate 6 more cookies than he did the day before. how many cookies did he eat on the first day?

The first five terms of a geometric sequence in which the second term is 6 and fourth term is 54 are 2, 6, 18, 54, 162. Thus, the correct option is option D.

A Geometric progression may be defined as a series of terms in which the ratio between each succeeding term and the preceding term of the series is constant.

It is given that the second term of the series is 6 and the fourth term is 54.

The first five terms of geometric sequence are given by a, ar, ar², ar³ and ar⁴.

Thus, ar = 6                                                            ......(1)

ar³ = 54                                                                  ......(2)

Divide equation (2) by (1)

ar³/ar = 54/6

r² = 9

=> r = 3

Putting value of r in equation (1)

ar = 6

=> a×3 = 6

=>a = 2

Now, substituting the values of a and r the terms of Geometric progression are given by:

a = 2, ar = 6, ar² = 18, ar³ = 54 and ar⁴ = 162.

Thus, the first five terms of Geometric sequence are given by 2, 6, 18, 54, 162.

The maximum income the doctor can get in a day is $1280

Time required for routine office visits = 15 minutes

Time required for physical visits = 45 minutes

Maximum physical visits possible in a day = 10

Maximum routine visits possible in a day = 12

Available hours for appointment = 9 hours or 540 minutes

Cost of routine appointment = $60

Cost of physical appointment = $70

In order to maximize income, she should do maximum possible routine visits as it gives more return in less time and the remaining time can be used to do physical visits, therefore:

No. of routine visits the doctor should do = 12

Time consumed in 12 visits = 12*15 = 180 minutes

Time remaining = 360 minutes

No. of physical visits she should do = 8

Time consumed in 8 physical visits = 8*45 = 360 minutes

Total income the doctor will generate in a day  = 12*60 + 8*70

= 720 + 560 = $1280

Hence, the maximum income of the doctor will be $1280

50 students of the 200 students in the school would favor a new dress code.

We will use simple cross multiplication here

For first case

no. of students surveyed = 20

no. of student agreed for a new dress code = 5

This gives us 5/20

For second case

no. of students surveyed = 200

no. of student agreed for a new dress code = x

This gives us x/200

Lets us cross multiply

5/20 = x/200

20x = 200×5

x = (200×5)/20

x = 50

Answer:

y = -4x -4

Step-by-step explanation:

we need to get two points to calculate the gradient

points chosen are (-2,3) and (-3,7)

Gradient = change in y coordinates/ change in X coordinates

G = (7-3)/(-3- -2)

= 4/-1

= -4

to write the equation in slope -intercept form we need one known point (-2,3) and one unknown point (X,y) and the gradient.

G = ∆y/∆x

-4 = (y - 3)/ (X - -2)

-4 = (y-3)/ (X+2)

we now cross multiply

-4(X + 2) = y - 3

-4x -8 = y-3

-4x -8+4 = y

y = -4x -4

The slope of the equation - 3 x+ 8 y = 12 is 0.375.

We are given an equation of the line:

- 3 x+ 8 y = 12

We need to find the slope of the equation.

x intercept:

- 3 x = 12

x = -4

Point 1 = ( - 4 , 0 )

y intercept:

8 y = 12

y = 1.5

Point 2 = ( 0 , 1.5 )

Slope = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

Substituting the values, we get that:

m = ( 1.5 - 0 ) / ( 0 - [-4])

m = 1.5 / 4

m = 0.375

Therefore, we get that, the slope of the equation - 3 x+ 8 y = 12 is 0.375.

Answer:

$29.05

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to multiply $19.95 by 2 since he bought 2 shirts that were the same price. 19.95 times 2 is a total of $39.90. It says that he saved $9.10 on both shirts so, in order to see the original price of the shirts, you would have to multiply $9.10 times 2 which is $18.20. Now you need to add 39.90 to 18.20 which is $58.10. You just need to divide that by 2 which will give you $29.05.  Each shirt's orignial price was $29.05

Solving the given equation y = x(ab/a - b) for a, we have: a = by/(y - bx).

To solve an equation for a given variable is to make the variable the subject of the formula. To do this, isolate the variable to one side of the equation using appropriate properties of equality.

Given the equation,

y = x(ab/a - b)

Multiply both sides by 1/x

y/x = ab/(a - b)

Multiply both sides by (a - b)

y/x × (a - b) = ab/(a - b) × (a - b)

y(a - b)/x = ab

(ay - by)/x = ab

ay - by = abx

ay - by + by = abx + by

ay = abx + by

ay - abx = abx + by - abx

ay - abx = by

a(y - bx) = by

Divide both sides by (y - bx):

a(y - bx)/(y - bx) = by/(y - bx)   [division property of equality]

a = by/(y - bx)

Thus, solving the given equation y = x(ab/a - b) for a, we have: a = by/(y - bx).

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

[tex]2 \frac{2}{7}:(0.6x)=\dfrac{4}{21}:0.25[/tex]

Convert the mixed number into an improper fraction by multiplying the whole number with the denominator of the fraction, adding it to the numerator of the fraction, and placing it all over the denominator of the fraction:

[tex]\implies 2\frac{2}{7}=\dfrac{2 \times 7+2}{7}=\dfrac{16}{7}[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]\implies \dfrac{16}{7}:(0.6x)=\dfrac{4}{21}:0.25[/tex]

[tex]\implies \dfrac{\frac{16}{7}}{0.6x}=\dfrac{\frac{4}{21}}{0.25}[/tex]

Cross multiply:

[tex]\implies \dfrac{16}{7} \times 0.25 = \dfrac{4}{21} \times 0.6x[/tex]

[tex]\implies \dfrac{16\times 0.25}{7} = \dfrac{4\times 0.6x}{21}[/tex]

[tex]\implies \dfrac{4}{7} = \dfrac{2.4x}{21}[/tex]

Cross multiply again:

[tex]\implies 4 \times 21=2.4x \times 7[/tex]

[tex]\implies 84=16.8x[/tex]

Divide both sides by 16.8:

[tex]\implies \dfrac{84}{16.8}=\dfrac{16.8x}{16.8}[/tex]

[tex]\implies 5=x[/tex]

[tex]\implies x=5[/tex]

Answer:

The value of x is 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve for the value of x,

→ 2 2/7 : (0.6x) = 4/21 : 0.25

→ 16/7 : (0.6x) = 4/21 : 0.25

→ (16/7) × 0.25 = (4/21) × 0.6x

→ 4/7 = (2.4x)/21

→ 2.4x × 7 = 4 × 21

→ 16.8x = 84

→ x = 84/16.8

→ [ x = 5 ]

Hence, the value of x is 5.

The average speed in meters per second is 10.4 m/s.

Average speed is the total distance travelled per time. Average speed can be determined by dividing total distance by

Average speed = total distance / total time

The first step is to convert kilometer to meter: 1000 meter = 1 kilometer

The second step is to convert hours to seconds:

1 hour = 60 minutes

1 minute = 60 seconds

1 hour = 60 x 60 seconds

1 hour = 3,600 seconds

Multiply the average speed by 1000 meters and divide by 3,600 seconds.

37.6 x (1,000 / 3,600)  = 10.44 m / s

10.4 m/s (1 d.p)

Step-by-step explanation:

Say the youngest sibling is a. Anna would be a+1, and the oldest would be a+2. If the sum of all of them are 81, then 3a+3 = 81. minus three on both sides, and you get 78. So 3a = 78/3 = 26. if the youngest is 26, then Anna will be a + 1 so 27.

The age of Anna where she is the middle of three siblings is 27 years.

Given data:

Let's represent Anna's age as "x." Since Anna is the middle sibling, the ages of her siblings would be x - 1 and x + 1, since they are consecutive integers.

According to the information given, the sum of their ages is 8181:

x + (x - 1) + (x + 1) = 81

Now, combine like terms:

3x = 81

Divide both sides by 3:

vertical line through (-6,5): x=-6

The equation of line parallel to y = -( 1/3 )x + 4 and passing through the point P ( 6 , 5 ) is y = -( 1/3 )x + 7

The equation of a line is expressed as y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

And y - y₁ = m ( x - x₁ )

y = y-coordinate of second point

y₁ = y-coordinate of point one

m = slope

x = x-coordinate of second point

x₁ = x-coordinate of point one

The slope m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

Given data ,

Let the equation of line be represented as A

Now , the value of A is

y = -( 1/3 )x + 4

Let the first point be P ( 6 , 5 )

Slope m = -1/3

The parallel lines have the same slope , so the point-slope form of the equation of a line to find the equation of the line passing through P(6,5) with slope -1/3 is

y - 5 = ( -1/3 ) ( x - 6 )

Adding 5 on both sides , we get
