Hint: is the picture Alonso estimated the distance across
a river as 1232 meters. What is the
approximate distance across the river to
the nearest thousandth of a meter?

1232.000

Step-by-step explanation:

Estimated distance across the river=1,232 meters

Find the approximate distance across the river to

the nearest thousandth of a meter

Note: Thousandth is having 3 values after the decimal point

This means we will round 1,232 meters to the nearest thousandth

1,232 is an whole number and decimal point can only be added at the end like this 1,232.

So we need 3 values after the decimal point.

We must add only values that wouldn't change the original 1,232 meters.

Therefore, zero (0) will be added

1232.000

Is to the nearest thousandth

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
