Aurora is planning to participate in an event at her school's field day that requires her to complete tasks at various stations in the fastest time possible. To prepare for the event, she is practicing and keeping track of her time to complete each station.

The x-coordinate is the station number, and the y-coordinate is the time in minutes since the start of the race that she completed the task.

(1, 3), (2, 6), (3, 12), (4, 24)

Part A: Is this data modeling an arithmetic sequence or a geometric sequence? Explain your answer. (2 points)

Part B: Use a recursive formula to determine the time she will complete station 5. Show your work. (4 points)

Part C: Use an explicit formula to find the time she will complete the 9th station. Show your work. (4 points)

Answers

Answer 1

From the given sequence, it is found that:

a) It is a geometric sequence, as the ratio between consecutive terms is the same.

b) Station 5 will be completed in 48 minutes.

c) Station 9 will be completed in 768 minutes.

What is a geometric sequence?

In a geometric sequence, the result of the division of consecutive terms is always the same, called common ratio q.

The nth term of a geometric sequence is given by the following rule:

[tex]a_n = a_1q^{n-1}[/tex]

In which [tex]a_1[/tex] is the first term.

In the context of this problem, the ratio between consecutive terms is given by:

r = 24/12 = 12/6 = 6/3 = 2.

Hence it is a geometric sequence.

Applying the recursive formula, the time for Station 5 is the time for Station 4 multiplied by the common ratio of 2, hence:

24 x 2 = 48 minutes.

The first term of the sequence is of 3, hence the explicit formula is given by:

[tex]a_n = 3(2)^{n-1}[/tex]

Hence the time for the 9th station, in minutes, is given as follows:

[tex]a_9 = 3(2)^{8} = 768[/tex]

Consider the quadratic function f(x) = x2 – 5x + 12. Which statements are true about the function and its graph? Select three options. The value of f(–10) = 82 The graph of the function is a parabola. The graph of the function opens down. The graph contains the point (20, –8). The graph contains the point (0, 0).

Answers

The statements that are true about the quadratic function and its graph include the following:

The value of f(–10) = 82The graph of the function is a parabola.The graph contains the point (20, –8).

How to determine the true statements about this function and its graph?

In Mathematics, the graph of any quadratic function or equation always forms a parabola because it is a u-shaped curve. For the given quadratic function, the graph is a upward parabola because the coefficient of x² is positive i.e when the value of "a" is greater than zero.

Next, we would determine the statements about the quadratic function and its graph that are true:

At point (-10, 82), we have:

f(x) = 1/5 x² – 5x + 12

f(x) = x²/5 – 5x + 12

f(-10) = -10²/5 – 5(-10) + 12

f(-10) = 82

At point (20, -8), we have:

f(x) = 1/5 x² – 5x + 12

f(x) = x²/5 – 5x + 12

f(20) = 20²/5 – 5(20) + 12

f(20) = -8

In conclusion, the graph of this quadratic function does not contain the point (0, 0) as shown in the image attached below.

What is a remainder theorem?

Remainder Theorem is an approach of Euclidean division of polynomials. According to this theorem, if we divide a polynomial P(x) by a factor ( x – a) that isn't essentially an element of the polynomial, you will find a smaller polynomial along with a remainder.

The Remainder Theorem: If (x-a) is a factor of the f(x) then f(a) = 0

Here,

f([tex]x[/tex]) = [tex]3x^{4}-3x^{3}-9x^{2} +5x-2[/tex]

substitute a = 2

[tex]f(2)=3(2^{4}) -3(2) ^{3}-9(2)^{2}+5(2)-2[/tex]

      = 48-24-36+10-2

      = 32-36

f(2)  = -4

If you multiply each of those lengths, you will have  9 (3x3), 6 (2x3) and 9 (3x3).  Do you see in the large figure to the right, that you have a left side of 9, a top of 6 and a bottom of 9?  That is what you original figure looks like if we multiply the sides by 3.  We are missing the right side point.  That is the point on the right side that points inward.

If you look at the original shape and start at the left had bottom corner, you would have to move up one and one to the right to plot the point to finish the figure.  So, for the new figure we would need to go up three and three to the right to put the last point.  That would be point D.

What is segment addition postulate?

If a Line segment AC is given in a plane and B is some point between the points A and C on the line segment AC. Then two segments of the line segment ac are formed that are AB and BC. and length of AC is equal to the sum of lengths of AB and BC.

Then AC = AB +BC

Given that  B is point on the line segment AC

Length of AB line = 9x+7

Length of BC = -3x +20

Length of AC = 39

Using segment addition postulate,

we have AC = AB +BC

⇒ 39 = 9x+7 + (-3x) +20

⇒ 39 = 9x -3x +7+20

⇒39 = 6x +27

Q10. Farmer John's apples were eaten by wasps, others were rotten and the rest were quality apples in the ratio 4: 10: 20 respectively. 20 apples had been eaten by wasps. a) How many rotten apples were there?​

Answers

If wasps had eaten 20 apples then, 50 rotten apples were there and the rest of the apples were quality apples in the ratio of 4: 10: 20 respectively.

This is a problem from simple mathematical equations. We can solve this problem by following a few steps.

Let's consider x as the highest common factor of apples eaten by wasps, rotten and quality apples.

So, the number of apples eaten by wasps is, 4 × x = 4x

The number of rotten apples is, 10 × x = 10x

The number of quality apples is, 20 × x = 20x

As, we all know HCF of the numbers × ratio of numbers = The numbers

So, 4x = 20 as per the question.

Therefore, x = 5.

Now, we can write that the HCF is 5.

So, the number of rotten apples ≡ HCF × 10 = 5× 10 = 50.
