Alyssa: “I added 32 and 8 to get 40, subtracted 10 to get 30, and then subtracted 30 from 150 to find the value of g, which is 120.” Rahul: “I added 32, 8, and 10 to get 50, and then I subtracted 150 to find the value of g, which is –100.”

Toni: “I subtracted 18 from 32 to get 14, which I then divided into 150 to find the value of g, which is 10 and StartFraction 5 Over 7 EndFraction.”

Wilhem: “I added 32 and 8 to get 40, subtracted 10 to get 30, and then divided both sides by 30 to find the value of g, which is 5.”

Which student’s work is correct?
Pls help btw Edgenuity sucks m8

is there any attachment? what are the equations?

24

step-by-step explanation:

if it takes 8 pounds to make 12 divide 12 by 8 and you get 1.5, 1.5 x 16 = 24

the function makes a strait line horizontally with no x intercept but a y intercept at 9.

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
