Intro To Geometric Sequences (help Pls)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for geometric sequence is given by:

[tex]a_{n} = a_{1}r^{n-1}[/tex]

Where,

[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = nth term of sequence

[tex]a_{1}[/tex] = 1st term of the sequence

[tex]r[/tex] = common ratio (ration of the second term to the first term)

So,

Here:

[tex]a_{1}[/tex] = 12

[tex]r[/tex] = 6/12 = 1/2

Plugging in the values of [tex]a_{1}[/tex] and r in the above formula:

=> [tex]a_{n} = 12 * (\frac{1}{2}) ^ {n-1}[/tex]

The perimeter of a triangular field is 84 m, if the ratio of its sides are 13: 14:15, Find the area of the field. *

Answers

Answer:

[tex]Area = 336\ m^2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

If the ratio of the sides is 13:14:15, we can say that the length of each side is 13x, 14x and 15x.

Then, if the perimeter is 84 m, we have:

[tex]P = 13x + 14x + 15x = 84[/tex]

[tex]42x = 84[/tex]

[tex]x = 2[/tex]

The length of each side is:

[tex]13x = 26\ m[/tex]

[tex]14x = 28\ m[/tex]

[tex]15x = 30\ m[/tex]

Now, to find the area of the field, we can use the following formula:

[tex]Area = \sqrt{p(p-a)(p-b)(p-c)}[/tex]

Where a, b and c are the sides and p is the semi perimeter:

[tex]p = P/2 = 42\ m[/tex]

So we have that:

[tex]Area = \sqrt{42(42-26)(42-28)(42-30)}[/tex]

[tex]Area = 336\ m^2[/tex]

In 2008 a newspaper sold 120 thousand papers, and had 60 thousands people reading online. Their online readership has been increasing by 8 thousand people each year, while their physical paper sales have decreased by 6 thousand papers a year. In what year does online readership exceed physical sales?

Answers

Answer:

t = 5 years

online readership will exceed physical sales in 5 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of physical readership can be represented by the equation;

P(t) = 120 - 6t

The number of Online readership can be represented by the equation;

K(t) = 60 + 8t

For online readership to exceed physical sales

K(t) > P(t)

60 + 8t > 120 - 6t

Collecting the like terms;

8t+6t > 120-60

14t>60

t > 60/14

t > 4.29

To the nearest year greater than 4.29.

t = 5 years

online readership will exceed physical sales in 5 years

(2 points) PLez Answer 50 points

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

We have two lines: y = 2 - x and y = 4x + 3 . Given two equations that are both required to be true. The answer is the points where the lines cross, this means we have to make the equations equal to each other. It will look like this:

                                                       2 - x = 4x + 3

Part B:

In order to solve the equation we need to put the like terms together. So we will add x on each side.

                                                       2 - x = 4x + 3

                                                           +x   +x

                                                     

So now we get:

                                                           2 = 5x + 3

Now that x is on one side and is positive we will move 3 on the left side by subtracting it from each side.

                                                           2 = 5x + 3

                                                           -3         -3

So now we get:

                                                           -1 = 5x

Now that the like terms have been combined we need to find out what x alone is so we divide 5 on each side:

                                                           [tex]\frac{-1}{5}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{5x}{5}[/tex]

No we see that:

                                                           x = [tex]-\frac{1}{5}[/tex]

The radius of a circle is given as 10cm subject to an error of 0.2cm. the error in the area of the circle is?

Answers

Answer:

12.56 [tex]cm^2[/tex] is the error in area of circle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Radius of the circle, r = 10 cm

Error in measurement of radius, [tex]\triangle r[/tex] = 0.2 cm

To find:

The error in area of circle = ?

Solution:

First of all, let us have a look at the percentage error in measurement of radius:

[tex]\dfrac{\triangle r}{r}\times 100 = \dfrac{0.2}{10}\times 100 = 2\%[/tex]

Now, we know that Area of a circle is given as:

[tex]A = \pi r^2[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow \dfrac{\triangle A}{A} \times 100 = 2 \times \dfrac{\triangle r}{r} \times 100\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{\triangle A}{A} = 4\%[/tex]

Area according to r = 10

[tex]A = 3.14\times 10^2 = 314 cm^2[/tex]

Now, error in area = 4% of 314 [tex]cm^2[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow \dfrac{4}{100} \times 314 = 12.56 cm^2[/tex]

So, the answer is:

12.56 [tex]cm^2[/tex] is the error in area of circle.

The graph of the parent function f(x) = x3 is translated to form the graph of g(x) = (x − 4)3 − 7. The point (0, 0) on the graph of f(x) corresponds to which point on the graph of g(x)?

Answers

Answer:

The point (0, 0) in the graph of f(x) corresponds to the point (4, -7) in the graph of g(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that when we start with the function [tex]f(x)=x^3[/tex], and then transform it into the function: [tex]g(x)=(x-4)^3-7[/tex]

what we have done is to translate the graph of the function horizontally 4 units to the right (via subtracting 4 from the variable x), and 7 units vertically down (via subtracting 7 to the full functional expression).

Therefore, the point (0, 0) in the first function, will now appeared translated 4 units to the right (from x = 0 to x = 4) and 7 units down (from y = 0 to y = -7).

then the point (0, 0) after the translation becomes: (4, -7)

An insurance company models the number of warranty claims in a week on a particular product that has a Poisson distribution with mean 4. Each warranty claim results in a payment of 1 by the insurer. Calculate the expected total payment by the insurer on the warranty claims in a week.

Answers

Answer:

4 monetary units

Step-by-step explanation:

In a Poisson distribution, the expected value of the distribution is the same as the mean:

[tex]E(X)=\mu=4\ claims[/tex]

The expected number of warranty claims is 4.

Since each claim results in a payment of 1, the expected value paid by the insurer is:

[tex]E(V)=E(X)*V(X)\\E(V)=4*1 = 4[/tex]

The expected total payment on warranty claims is 4 monetary units.

The starting salary for a particular job is 1.2 million per annum. The salary increases each year by 75000 to a maximum of 1.5million. In which year is the maximum salary reached

Answers

Answer:

In the 5th year

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first year, the salary is 1.2million = 1,200,000

For the second year, the salary is 1.2million + 75000 = 1,200,000 + 75,000 = 1,275,000

.

.

.

For the last year, the salary is 1.5million = 1,500,000

This gives the following sequence...

1,200,000 1,275,000  .   .   . 1,500,000

This follows an arithmetic progression with an increment of 75,000.

Remember that,

The last term, L, of an arithmetic progression is given by;

L = a + (n - 1)d           ---------------(i)

Where;

a = first term of the sequence

n = number of terms in the sequence (which is the number of years)

d = the common difference or increment of the sequence

From the given sequence,

a = 1,200,000                          [which is the first salary]

d = 75,000                               [which is the increment in salary]

L = 1,500,000                          [which is the maximum salary]

Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;

1,500,000 = 1,200,00 + (n - 1) 75,000

1,500,000 - 1,200,000 = 75,000(n-1)

300,000 = 75,000(n - 1)

[tex]\frac{300,000}{75,000} = n - 1[/tex]

4 = n - 1

n = 5

Therefore, in the 5th year the maximum salary will be reached.

The correct answer is:

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the term:

[tex]3x^{2} +5y^{2} [\text{ \ }] +3 [\text{ \ }] +4y^{2} +6 = 9x^{2} -y^{2} +9[/tex]

We have to fill in to the empty spaces such that the above equation gets satisfied.

First of all, let us simplify the LHS (Left Hand Side):

[tex]3x^{2} +5y^{2} [\text{ \ }] +3 [\text{ \ }] +4y^{2} +6\\\Rightarrow 3x^{2} +5y^{2} +4y^{2} [\text{ \ }] [\text{ \ }] +6 +3\\\Rightarrow 3x^{2} +9y^{2} [\text{ \ }] [\text{ \ }] +9[/tex]

Now, let us equate the LHS and  RHS (Right Hand Side):

[tex]\Rightarrow 3x^{2} +9y^{2} [\text{ \ }] [\text{ \ }] +9 = 9x^{2} -y^{2} +9[/tex]

Equating the coefficients of [tex]x^{2}\ and\ y^{2}[/tex] in LHS and RHS:

One box will have value = [tex]9x^{2} -3x^{2} =+6x^{2}[/tex]

Other box will have value = [tex]-y^{2} -9y^{2} =-10y^{2}[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

adult = £7 and child = £2

Step-by-step explanation:

let a represent adult ticket and c child ticket, then

2a + 3c = 20 → (1)

a + 4c = 15 → (2)

Multiply (2) by - 2 and add to (1) to eliminate a

- 2a - 8c = - 30 → (3)

Add (1) and (3) term by term

- 5c = - 10 ( divide both sides by - 5 )

c = 2

Substitute c = 2 into either of the 2 equations and solve for a

Substituting into (1)

2a + 3(2) = 20

2a + 6 = 20 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

2a = 14 ( divide both sides by 2 )

a = 7

Cost of adult ticket is £7 and child ticket is £2
