Wanahton purified a portion of water with 900 grams of contaminants. Each hour, a third of the contaminants was filtered out.

Let g(n) be the amount of contaminants (in grams) that remained by the beginning of the nth hour. g is a sequence, what kind of sequence is it, arithmetic or geometric? Then, write an explicit formula for the sequence, g(n)=?

Step-by-step explanation:

If wanahton purified a portion of water with 900 grams of contaminants and each hour, a third of the contaminants was filtered out then the amount of grams filtered out first hour will be 1/3 of 900grams = 300grams.

The amount filtered out in the second hour will be 1/3 of 300grams = 100grams.

Given the initial amount of contaminant = 900g

Contaminant after 1st hour = 300g

contaminant after 2nd hour = 100g and so on

It is seen that the amount of contaminant keep reducing by one third each hour. The sequence formed will be 900, 300, 100... which is a GEOMETRIC SEQUENCE because they are reducing by the same factor each term which is 1/3.

Given the geometric sequence 900, 300, 100...the nth term of the sequence is expressed as shown;

g(n) =

r is the common ratio = =  

n is the umber of terms

a is the first term which serves as the initial value of the contaminant= 900

Substituting the values given to get the explicit formula for the sequence we have;

g(n) =

The amount of contaminants (in grams) that remained by the beginning of the nth hour is

he used the algebra tiles correctly.

step-by-step explanation:

given : 3x(2x-1)

solution :

since he used algebra tiles .

armando's solution is the same in the solution shown in figure

as he distributed 2x into x and x and wrote them vertically

and also write   -1 vertically

and 3x into x and x and x and wrote it horizontally

performing the multiplication in the algebra tiles we get

and solving the given expression :

3x(2x-1)

since solving the expression using tiles   and solving the expression algebraically we get the same answer

thus   we can choose the first statement as the answer to this problem which is "he used the algebra tiles correctly".
