Given the sequence, 26, 13, 6.5, ..... find a) the 10th term and b) the sum of the first 18 terms

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 10th term is 0.051

b) The sum of first 18 terms of given sequence is 51.48

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the sequence 26, 13, 6.5, ..... we need to find

a) 10th term

b) Sum of first 18 terms

Before solving we need to determine if the sequence is arithmetic or geometric

The sequence is arithmetic if common difference d is same.

The sequence is geometric if common ratio r is same.

Finding common difference d: 13-26 = -13, 6.5-13= -6.5

As common difference is not same so, the sequence is not arithmetic.

Finding common ratio r : 13/26 =0.5, 6.5/13= 0.5

As common ratio is same so, the sequence is geometric.

a) Finding common difference: 13-26 = -13, 6.5-13= -6.5

As common difference is not same so, the sequence is not arithmetic.

a) 10th term

The formula to find 10th term is: [tex]a_n=a_1r^{n-1}[/tex]

We have a₁=26 and r = 0.5 n=10

[tex]a_n=a_1r^{n-1}\\a_{10}=26(0.5)^{10-1}\\a_{10}=26(0.5)^{9}\\a_{10}=0.051[/tex]

So, 10th term is 0.051

b) Sum of first 18 terms

The formula to find sum of geometric series is: [tex]S_n=\frac{a(1-r^n)}{1-r}[/tex]

where a= 1st term, r = common ratio and n= number of terms

In the given sequence we have

a=26, r=0.5 and n=18

Finding sum of first 18 terms

[tex]S_n=\frac{a(1-r^n)}{1-r}\\S_{18}=\frac{26(1-(0.5)^{18}}{1-0.5}\\S_{18}=\frac{26(0.99)}{0.5}\\S_{18}=\frac{25.74}{0.5}\\S_{18}=51.48[/tex]

So, sum of first 18 terms of given sequence is 51.48

Jordan's activity tracker showed that when she walked for 12 minutes she took 804 steps. Karen's activity tracker showed that she walked 2,100 steps in 32 minutes. Who was walking at a faster rate?

Answers

Given:

Jordan's walked for 12 minutes she took 804 steps.

Karen's walked 2,100 steps in 32 minutes.

To find:

Who was walking at a faster rate?

Solution:

We need to find the unit rate of Jordan and Karen.

[tex]\text{Unit rate}=\dfrac{\text{Total steps}}{\text{Total time}}[/tex]

Unit rate of Jordan,

[tex]\text{Unit rate}=\dfrac{804}{12}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Unit rate}=67[/tex]

Unit rate of Karen,

[tex]\text{Unit rate}=\dfrac{2100}{32}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Unit rate}=65.625[/tex]

Clearly, 67 > 65.625.

Since, unit rate of Jordan is greater, therefore she walked faster.

Buddy and his team have been asked by NASA to make a space shuttle cake (a scale model shaped like the one to the left) for a fundraising event. The original space shuttle has a height of 184 ft and a wingspan of 78 ft. Buddy and his team decide to construct the cake on-site so that they do not have to worry about transporting it. Buddy decides to make a cake with a wingspan of 10 ft and asks one of his decorators, Ivette, to calculate the height of the cake. Ivette decides that the cake should be approximately 4 ft tall.

Answers

Answer:

Ivette is wrong and by a lot. The spaceship should be 23.59 feet high

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between the spaceship's height and width = 184 feet : 78 feet ≈ 92 : 39 ≈ 9.2 : 3.9. This means that for every 3.9 feet wide, the cake should be 9.2 feet high.

In this case, the spaceship is 10 feet wide, so it should be (10 / 3.9) x 9.2 =  23.59 feet high.

When you make scale drawings or scale cakes, you must keep the same proportions as the original model.

Answer:

A=135 b=200

Step-by-step explanation:

135+200+25=360

X+(x+65) +25=360

Subtract 25 from both sides

X+ (x+65)=335

Combine like terms

2x +65=335

Subtract 65 from both sides

2x =270

Divide by 2

X=135

To get b you just do 135+65=200

STEP

:

Pulling out like terms

3.1     Pull out like factors :

  -3x2 + 12x - 8  =   -1 • (3x2 - 12x + 8)  

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

3.2     Factoring  3x2 - 12x + 8  

The first term is,  3x2  its coefficient is  3 .

The middle term is,  -12x  its coefficient is  -12 .

The last term, "the constant", is  +8  

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   3 • 8 = 24  

Step-2 : Find two factors of  24  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   -12 .

     -24    +    -1    =    -25  

     -12    +    -2    =    -14  

     -8    +    -3    =    -11  

     -6    +    -4    =    -10  

     -4    +    -6    =    -10  

     -3    +    -8    =    -11  

     -2    +    -12    =    -14  

     -1    +    -24    =    -25  

     1    +    24    =    25  

     2    +    12    =    14  

     3    +    8    =    11  

     4    +    6    =    10  

     6    +    4    =    10  

     8    +    3    =    11  

     12    +    2    =    14

Boadu and Ansah formed a company and agreed that their annual profit will be shared in the ratio 4:5 respectively. If at the end of the year. Ansah received Gh€ 5.000.00 more than boadu how much was boadu shared?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The share of Boadu is Gh€ 222,222.22 if Boadu and Ansah formed a company and agreed that their annual profit will be shared in the ratio 4:5 respectively.

What is the ratio?

It is described as the comparison of two quantities to determine how many times one obtains the other. The proportion can be expressed as a fraction or as a sign: between two integers.

We have:

Boadu and Ansah formed a company and agreed that their annual profit will be shared in the ratio 4:5 respectively.

Let 4x be the share of Boadu and 5x be the share of Ansah

4x + 5x = 5,000,00

9x = 5,000,00

x = 55555.55

The share of Boadu = 4x = 4(55555.55) = 222,222.22

Thus, the share of Boadu is Gh€ 222,222.22 if Boadu and Ansah formed a company and agreed that their annual profit will be shared in the ratio 4:5 respectively.
