Did she make an error?
Amelie wants to decorate the outside of the box but not
the bottom. It is a 5 in. by 3 in. by 2 rectangular prism. If
the beads that she is using cost $0.25 per square inch,
how much will she pay for the beads? Her work is shown.
Yes, she should have only added the area of five of
the six faces.
Yes, she did not use the correct area formula for a
rectangle
Ol Yes, she calculated the cost incorrectly.
surface area = 15 + 15 + 6 + 6 + 10 + 10 = 62 in.
cost = 0.25(62) = $15.50
No, she didn't make any errors.

step-by-step explanation:

they can both be solutions depends on the equation

step-by-step explanation:

what is the equation? ?

i believe it is 0.1m because the measurement of 30.4m limits how precise you can be

you can only be as precise as the least precise measurement

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
