The 1st 3 terms of an A.P., a, a+d, and a+2d, are the same as the 1st 3 terms of a G.P.( a is not equal to 0). Show that this is only possible if r=1 and d=0

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

See Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first three terms of an A.P is equivalent to the first three terms of a G.P.

We want to show that this is only possible if r = 1 and d = 0.

If a is the initial term and d is the common difference, the A.P. will be:

[tex]a, a+d, \text{ and } a+2d[/tex]

Likewise, for the G.P., if a is the initial term (and it does not equal 0) and r is the common ratio, then our sequence is:

[tex]a, ar,\text{ and } ar^2[/tex]

The second and third terms must be equivalent. Thus:

[tex]a+d=ar\text{ and } a+2d=ar^2[/tex]

We can cancel the d. Multiply the first equation by -2:

[tex]-2a-2d=-2ar[/tex]

We can now add this to the second equation:

[tex](a+2d)+(-2a-2d)=(ar^2)+(-2ar)[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]-a=ar^2-2ar[/tex]

Now, we can divide both sides by a (we can do this since a is not 0):

[tex]-1=r^2-2r[/tex]

So:

[tex]r^2-2r+1=0[/tex]

Factor:

[tex](r-1)^2=0[/tex]

Thus:

[tex]r=1[/tex]

The first equation tells us that:

[tex]a+d=ar[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]a+d=a(1)\Rightarrow a+d=a[/tex]

Hence:

[tex]d=0[/tex]

Find the area of the composite shape below.

Answers

Answer: 1106.13 (2 decimal places)

Step-by-step explanation:

To work out the area of this composite shape you would have to put the two semi circles together to form a circle and work out the area of the circle (they have provided the radius which is 11in), then work out the area of the rectangle separately.

The formula for the area of a circle is πr^2 (pi x radius squared).

So when you put the numbers in the formula the area is πx11^2=380.1327111

Then to work out the area of the rectangle you would do base x height.

The height of the rectangle is the same as the diameter of the circle (the diameter is double the radius of a circle) which is 22in.

To find the area of the rectangle you do 22x33=726

So then to find the area of the whole shape you would have to add the area of the circle and the rectangle together.

726+380.1327111=1106.13 (2 decimal places).

Fred drew 2/3 on a number line. Sara broke her number line into 6 equal pieces but found the same fraction on the number line as Fred. What fraction did Sara make?

Answers

Answer:

4 / 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Fred fraction = 2/3

Sarah formed a fraction by dividing her number line into 6 equal pieces. This is given as;

x / 6

Since her fraction is equal to that of fred, we have;

x / 6 = 2 / 3

x = 6 * 2 / 3 = 4

Sarah Fraction = 4 / 6

write the recurring decimal 0.25656565656 as a fraction in its simplest form

Answers

Answer:

127/495

Step-by-step explanation:

Turning repeating decimals into fractions is a little like surgery: you need to make sure to "cut out" just the right part to let you simplify. In this case, it'd be very nice if we could deal with that repeating 0...565656... part. Let's start by giving our decimal a name:

[tex]x=0.25656...[/tex]

We're gonna split this into two parts: a number we can operate on, and "knife" to make the incision. For both, we'd like the only part to the right of the decimal to be the repeating part. To make our "knife," we'll multiply both sides of the equation by 10:

[tex]10x=2.5656...[/tex]

To make the number we'll be cutting from, we can shift the decimal point by any multiple of two more to the right. I'll keep things simple and stick with 2. This corresponds to multiplying the "knife" equation by 100 on both sides:

[tex]1000x=256.5656...[/tex]

Surgery time! To cut out the repeating bit, we can now just subtract the "knife" equation from the one above:

[tex]1000x-10x=256.5656...-2.5656...\\990x=254[/tex]

And just like that, it's gone! All that's left to do now is divide both sides by 990 and simplify:

[tex]x=254/990=127/495[/tex]

Answer:

color in 15 boxes

15/32

Step-by-step explanation:

first off, the points are split so I'm only getting 12, just so that you know.

so 1/8x1/4 is 1/32, so each box is 1/32.

5/8x3/4=15/32 (multiply the top of the first with the top of the second and the bottom of the first with the bottom of the second)

so color in 15 boxes and the answer to the multiplication is 15/32

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Tom made fruit punch for a party

He used the following amount of fruits

2 gallons of orange juice

= if 1 gallon is 4 quart then 2 gallon is 4×2= 8 quarts

3 pints of cranberry juice

= if 1 pint is 0.5 quart then 3 pints is 0.5×3 = 1.5 quarts

The amount of quartz he made can be calculated as follows

= 1.5 + 8 + 4

= 13.5

Hence he made 13.5 quarts of fruit punch

Answer:

  (b), (c) scalene

Step-by-step explanation:

The lengths of the sides can be found from the distance formula:

  d = √((x2 -x1)^2 +(y2 -y1)^2)

Here, there are 9 lengths to be computed, so it is useful to let a spreadsheet or graphing calculator do it.

We find triangle (a) has two sides the same length, so it is isosceles.

The other two triangles have three different side lengths, so they are scalene.

Answers

320/5=64
64 x 3 = 192 (number of boys in the beginning)
64 x 2 = 128 (number of girls in the beginning)
192 + 8 = 200 (boys now)
200/4=50
50 x 3 = 150
150 - 128 = 22 (amount of girls added)
Number of girls added: 22
