1. Juan's marathon training schedule is an example of a geometric sequence

2. Lizzy's marathon training schedule is an example of an arithmetic sequence

3. Lizzy will be better prepared for the marathon

Step-by-step explanation:

In the arithmetic sequence there is a common difference between each two consecutive terms

In the geometric sequence there is a common ratio between each two consecutive terms

Juan's Schedule

∵ Juan's will run one mile on the first day of the week

∴ $a_{1}$ = 1

∵ He will double the amount he runs each day for the next

6 days

- That means he multiplies each day by 2 to find how many miles

he will run next day

∴ $a_{2}$ = 1 × 2 = 2 miles

∴ $a_{3}$ = 2 × 2 = 4 miles

∴ $a_{4}$ = 4 × 2 = 8 miles

∴ $a_{5}$ = 8 × 2 = 16 miles

∴ $a_{6}$ = 16 × 2 = 32 miles

∴ $a_{7}$ = 32 × 2 = 64 miles

That means there is a common ratio 2 between each two consecutive days

1. Juan's marathon training schedule is an example of a geometric sequence

Lizzy's Schedule

∵ Lizzy's will run 10 miles on the first day of the week

∴ $a_{1}$ = 10

∵ She will increase the amount she runs by 3 miles each day for

the next six days

- That means she adds each day by 3 to find how many miles

she will run next day

∴ $a_{2}$ = 10 + 3 = 13 miles

∴ $a_{3}$ = 13 + 3 = 16 miles

∴ $a_{4}$ = 16 + 3 = 19 miles

∴ $a_{5}$ = 19 + 3 = 22 miles

∴ $a_{6}$ = 22 + 3 = 25 miles

∴ $a_{7}$ = 25 × 3 = 28 miles

That means there is a common difference 3 between each two consecutive days

2. Lizzy's marathon training schedule is an example of an arithmetic sequence

The rule of the sum of nth term in the geometric sequence is $S_{n}=\frac{a_{1}(1-r^{n})}{1-r}$

∵ $a_{1}$ = 1 , r = 2 and n = 7

∴ $S_{7}=\frac{1(1-2^{7})}{1-2}$

∴ $S_{7}$ = 127

∴ Juan will run 127 miles in the final week

The rule of the sum of nth term in the arithmetic sequence is $S_{n}=\frac{n}{2}[a_{1}+a_{n}]$

∵ n = 7, $a_{1}$ = 10 and $a_{7}$ = 28

∴ $S_{7}=\frac{7}{2}(10+28)$

∴ $S_{7}$ = 133

∴ Lizzy will run 133 miles in the final week

∵ 133 miles > 127 miles

∴ Lizzy will run more miles than Juan

3. Lizzy will be better prepared for the marathon

Answer from: Quest

i need a picure

step-by-step explanation:

Answer from: Quest

(2x + 16) + (x) = 180

step-by-step explanation:

given,

abcd is a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle

angle a is labeled x plus 16, (x + 16)

angle b is labeled x degrees, (x)

angle c is labeled 6x minus 4, (6x – 4)

angle d is labeled 2x plus 16, (2x + 16)

what equation can be used to solve for angle b?

we know that the sum of the opposite angles of a simple quadrilateral inscribed in a circle is 180 degrees.

angle b is opposite angle d

therefore, angle b + angle d = 180

(x) + (2x + 16) = 180

same as (2x + 16) + (x) = 180

Someone answer this asap rn for ! a discount store’s prices are 25% lower than department store prices. the function c(x) = 0.75x can be used to determine the cost c, in dollars, of an item, where x is the department store price, in dollars. if the item has not sold in one month, the discount store takes an additional 20% off the discounted price and an additional $5 off the total purchase. the function d(y) = 0.80y - 5 can be used to find d, the cost, in dollars, of an item that has not been sold for a month, where y is the discount store price, in dollars. create a function d(c(x)) that represents the final price of an item when a costumer buys an item that has been in the discount store for a month. d(c(x)) =
