Help please, little confused.

3(3) + 0.75(2) = (3 + 0.75)x

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost per pound of the mixture is the total cost divided by the total weight.

3 lb granola at $3 per lb has a cost of 3(3)

0.75 lb of raisins at $2 per lb has a cost of 0.75(2)

The total cost is 3(3) + 0.75(2)

The mixture has an unknown cost per lb, so we call it x.

When you multiply the cost per lb of the mix by the total weight, you get the total cost.

Total weight of mix: 3 + 0.75

Cost per lb of mix: x

Total cost of mix: (3 + 0.75)x

Above, we know the total cost is 3(3) + 0.75(2)

We set these two amounts equal to get our equation.

3(3) + 0.75(2) = (3 + 0.75)x

3(3) + 0.75(2) = (3 + 0.75)x

step-by-step explanation:

part a. the differences are decreasing, so we know the sequence is not arithmetic. the ratios are constant (=3/4), so we know the sequence is geometric.

part b. from part a, we know the common ratio is 3/4, so each term is 3/4 of the one before. the initial term is the number of gallons at h=1.

g[h] = (3/4)·g[h-1]

g[1] = 384 . . . . initial value required for a recursive definition

part c. the general formula for a geometric sequence is

a[n] = a[1]·r^(n-1)

we have a[1] = 384, r = 3/4, and the term number given by h. the formula that follows is

g[h] = 384·(3/4)^(h-1)

part d. filling in the value and doing the arithmetic, we have

g[12] = 384·(3/4)^11 ≈ 384·0.042235136 ≈ 16.2183 . . gallons

part e. each gallon is 4 quarts, so

16.2183 gal × 4 qt/gal = 64.8732 qt

the homeowners insurance cost for a 115,000 wood frame house is 80,500.

step-by-step explanation:

it is given that the coverage rate for wood frame house is 0.7.

the value of wood frame house is 115,000.

.

homeowners insurance cost for a 115,000 wood frame house is

therefore the homeowners insurance cost for a 115,000 wood frame house is 80,500.
