A large quantity of waste material contains metal. At the successive passes through a recovery
process the mass of the metal recovered is:
32kg at the first pass,
24kg at the second pass;
18kg at the third pass;
13,5kg at the fourth pass, and so on, to form a geometric sequence,
1. How much metal would be recovered at the eighth pass?
(Round off the answer to TWO decimal places)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The amount of metal recovered at the eight pass is approximately 4.27 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

The mass of metal recovered formed the following geometric sequence;

32 kg, 24 kg, 18 kg, 13.5 kg

∴ The first term, a = 32 kg

The common ratio in the geometric sequence is found as follows;

r = a·r/a = 24 kg/(32 kg) = 0.75

r = a·r²/a·r = 18 kg/(24 kg) = 0.75

r = a·r³/a·r² = 13.5 kg/(18 kg) = 0.75

The mass of the metal recovered in the eight pass will be the 8th term of the geometric series given as follows;

nth term = a·rⁿ⁻¹

a = 32, r = 0.75, n = 8

∴ 8th term = 32·(0.75)⁸⁻¹ = 32·0.75⁷ = 2187/512 ≈ 4.27

The amount of metal recovered at the eight pass ≈ 4.27 kg.

Answer 2

The eight term of the geometric sequence is 4.27.

Geometric sequence

A geometric sequence is in the form:

aₙ = ar⁽ⁿ⁻¹⁾

where aₙ is the nth term, a is the first term and r is the common difference.

Given that a = 32, r = 24/32 = 0.75

The eight term is a₈ = 32(0.75)⁸⁻¹ = 4.27

The eight term of the geometric sequence is 4.27.

Step-by-step explanation:

If ab = 9 and a² + b² = 81, then (a+b)² = ?​

Answers

Answer:

99

Step-by-step explanation:

Through some clever algebra, we can combine our first two equations using the fact that

[tex](a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2[/tex]

We have the a² and the b² in the equation [tex]a^2+b^2=81[/tex], and we almost have a 2ab in the equation [tex]ab=9[/tex]. To get that 2ab, we can simply double both sides of the first equation to get [tex]2ab=18[/tex]. From there, we'll add the first two equations together, giving us the summed equation

[tex]a^2+b^2+2ab=81+18\\a^2+2ab+b^2=99[/tex]

And since [tex](a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2[/tex], we can equivalently say that

[tex](a+b)^2=99[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Pythagorean theorem since you have a right triangle [tex]15^{2}[/tex] = [tex]10^{2} + x^{2}[/tex]

225 = 100 + [tex]x^{2}[/tex] so x = [tex]\sqrt{125}[/tex]

Answer:

x = 5[tex]\sqrt{5}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle.

x² + 10² = 15²

x² + 100 = 225 ( subtract 100 from both sides )

x² = 125 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = [tex]\sqrt{125}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{25(5)}[/tex] = 5[tex]\sqrt{5}[/tex] ← in simplest radical form

Which set of integers is ordered from least to greatest -13 , 4, 0, -8 -5 , -2, 3, 1 -12 , -18 , -4 , 7 -15, 6 , -9 , -21

Given:

The set of integers in the options.

-13 , 4, 0, -8

-5 , -2, 3, 1

-12 -18 , -4 , 7

-15, 6 , -9 , -21

To find:

The set of integers that is ordered from least to greatest.

Solution:

We know that the larger negative value is the smaller value and the larger positive value is the greater value.

Ordered from least to greatest means first we need to write the smallest value, write the value larger than and the greatest value occurs at the end.

In option A, we have -13 , 4, 0, -8. Here, 4>0. So, the option A is incorrect.

In option B, we have -5 , -2, 3, 1. Here, 3>1. So, the option B is incorrect.

In option C, we have -12 -18 , -4 , 7 Here, -12>-18. So, the option C is incorrect.

In option D, we have -15, 6 , -9 , -21. Here, 6>-9. So, the option D is incorrect.

Therefore, all the options are incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello There!

The first thing we want to do is find the proportional relationship between to two triangles

The smaller triangles longest side is 18

Given the longest side of the similar triangle we can divide the longest side of the preimage by the longest side of the similar triangle

So the proportional relationship would be

36/18 or 2

Our next step is to find the the sides of the similar triangle

To do so we multiply the sides of the preimage by 2 (because 2 is the proportional relationship between the two triangles)

12x2=24

8x2=16

and we already know that the longest side measures 36

Now we can find the perimeter by adding all of the side lengths

36+24+16 = 76

So we can conclude that the perimeter of the dilated image is 76

The perimeter of the dilated triangle is 81.
