The nth term of a geometric sequence is a sub n =a sub 1 times r ^n-1 , where a sub 1 is the first term and r is the common ratio. Identify a sub 1 and r for each geometric sequence.

The Nth Term Of A Geometric Sequence Is A Sub N =a Sub 1 Times R ^n-1 , Where A Sub 1 Is The First Term

Answers

Answer 1

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

Common ratio of a sequence can be gotten by dividing any of the consecutive term in a sequence, by the term before it.

Thus,

For the sequence, [tex] 3, 9, 27. . . [/tex] : [tex] a_1 = 3 [/tex]

[tex] r = \frac{9}{3} = 3 [/tex]

For the sequence, [tex] 8, 4, 2, 1. . . [/tex] : [tex] a_1 = 8 [/tex]

[tex] r = \frac{4}{8} = \frac{1}{2} [/tex]

For the sequence, [tex] -16, 64, -256 . . [/tex] : [tex] a_1 = -16 [/tex]

[tex] r = \frac{64}{-16} = -4 [/tex]

Correct! X=-3


Explanation: well let’s me show you the work :)


-5(x+8)= -25

Distribute! Yay my fav lol...so multiply the -5 into the “x” and 8
Multiply a negative with a positive you get negative so this is how your equation should look like now

-5x-40= -25

:)


Then you would solve!!! So add the 40 on both sides looking like this :)

-5x-40= -25
+40 +40

Giving you this :)

-5x= 15

It’s 15 because technically you’re subtracting the 25 from the 40, so 40-25 equals 15 :)

Then you divide both by -5 canceling the -5 in the top like this


-5x=15

Making x=-3 :)

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

y = 3x-5 ....(1)

y = -x+4 .....(2)

We can solve the above equations using substitution method. Put the value of y from equation (1) to equation (2) such that,

[tex]3x-5 = -x+4\\\\3x+x = 5+4\\\\4x = 9\\\\x=\dfrac{9}{4}[/tex]

Put the value of x in equation (1) we get :

[tex]y = 3x-5\\\\y = 3\times \dfrac{9}{4}-5\\\\y=\dfrac{7}{4}[/tex]

It means that the value of x is [tex]\dfrac{9}{4}[/tex] and the value of y is [tex]\dfrac{7}{4}[/tex]. Hence, the given equations has only one solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a trapezium the lower base angle is supplementary to the upper bas angle on the same side, thus

4x + 91 - 9x + 59 = 180, that is

- 5x + 150 = 180 ( subtract 150 from both sides )

- 5x = 30 ( divide both sides by - 5 )

x = - 6

Thus

∠ N = - 9x + 59 = - 9(- 6) + 59 = 54 + 59 = 113°

∠ K = 4x + 91 = 4(- 6) + 91 = - 24 + 91 = 67°

In a survey men in a certain country (ages 20-29), the mean height was 62.8 inches with a standard deviation of 2.8 inches, what height represents the 99th percentile?

Answers

Answer:

the height that represents the 99th percentile is 69.324  inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

the mean height =  62.8 inches

standard deviation = 2.8  inches

For 99th percentile;

Let X be the random variable;

SO, P(Z≤ z)  = 0.99

From the standard normal z tables

P(Z )= 2.33

The standard z score formula is :

[tex]z = \dfrac{X- \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]2.33 = \dfrac{X- 62.8}{2.8}[/tex]

2.33 × 2.8 = X - 62.8

6.524 = X - 62.8

6.524 +62.8 =  X

69.324  = X

X = 69.324

Therefore; the height that represents the 99th percentile is 69.324  inches

7 3/8 + (-4 1/2) ÷ (-5 2/3) Please Explain

Answers

Answer:

7 3/8 + (-4 1/2) ÷ (-5 2/3) = 8 23/136

Step-by-step explanation:

1) First I turned all the mix numbers into improper fractions:

7 3/8 ----> ( 7(8)+3/8) = 59/8, 4 1/2 ----> (4(2)+1/2) = 9/2, 5 2/3 ---->  (5(3)+2/3) = 17/3

So now it should look like this: 59/8 + (-9/2)÷(-17/3)

2) Now our goal is to divide both of the improper fractions (-9/2)÷(-17/3),

- We first apply our fraction rule:  -a/-b = a/b (when we have two negatives they cancel out each other and make a positive)

Our Case, From this:-9/2 ÷ -17/3 = To This: 9/2 ÷ 17/3

3) Now we can divide the fractions using this rule: a/b ÷ c/d = a times d / b times

Our Case, From This: 9/2 ÷ 17/3 To This: 9(3)/2(17) Which Gives Us: 27/34

(9 x 3 = 27, 2 x 17= 34)

So now it looks like this: 59/8 +27/34

4) Our look goal is to have the same denominator (which is the bottom part of the fraction)  which are 8 and 34

To find it we find the LCM or Least Common Multiple of 8 and 34

(The LCM of a, b is the smallest positive number that is divisible by both a and b) which in this case a and b are 8 and 34  

LCM is 136

5) We adjust our two fractions based on the LCM,

(Multiply each numerator ( top part of the fraction)  by the same amount of needed to multiply its corresponding denominator to turn it to the LCM 136.

From This: 59/8  and 27/34 To This: 1003/136 and 108/36 ( 59(17)/8 (17) = 1003/136, 27(4)/34(4) = 108/306

6) Finally we can add the numerator (1003 and 108) together: 1003+108= 1111 and now we are left with 1111/136

Then we turn our improper fraction back into a mix number: 1111/138= 8 23/136

Answer:

[tex]\frac{1111}{136} = 8 \frac{23}{136}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to simplify:

[tex]7 \frac{3}{8} + \frac{ -4 \frac{1}{2} }{ -5 \frac{2}{3} }[/tex]

First, convert all the fractions to improper fractions:

[tex]\frac{59}{8} + \frac{ - \frac{9}{2} }{ - \frac{17}{3} } \\\\= \frac{59}{8} + \frac{27}{34}[/tex]

Find the LCM of the denominators:

[tex]\frac{(17 * 59) + (4 * 27)}{136} \\\\ = \frac{1003 + 108}{136}\\ \\= \frac{1111}{136} \\\\= 8 \frac{23}{136}[/tex]

The area of circle B would be 36π sq inches. Now we subtract Circle A's area from Circle B's area(36π sq in. - 9π sq in.), the area of the shaded region is 27π sq in.

What is the value of discontinuity of x^2+8x+4/x^2-x-6? Choices:

First of all, let's check the denominator.

[tex]x^2-x-6 \ \ \text{ *** How to factorise it ...? ***}\\\\\text{*** The product of the roots is -6=-2*3 and their sum is 1 ***}\\\\x^2-x-6=x^2-3x+2x-6=x(x-3)+2(x-3)=(x+2)(x-3)[/tex]

Now, let's see the numerator.

So we cannot factorise the numerator with (x+2) or (x-3)

Required

Rewrite the expression without absolute values

The question says m < 8,

This means the value of m could be 7, 6 ...

Let's assume m is 7

[tex]7m - 56 = 7 * 7 - 56 = 49 - 56 = -7[/tex]

This means that the expression [tex]|7m- 56|[/tex] will give a negative value if [tex]m < 8[/tex]

The formula for the x-coordinate of the vertex is -b/2a.

Find the mean and standard deviation. Show all work. 1. X 0 1 2 3 4 P(x) .07 .38 .22 .13

Answers

Answer:

Mean = 2.14

Standard deviation = 2.40

Step-by-step explanation:

The calculation of mean and standard deviation is shown below:-

[tex]X = .07\times0 + 0.20\times 1 + 0.38\times 2 + 0.22\times 3 + 0.13\times 4\\\\ = 0 + 0.2 + 0.76 + 0.66 + 0.52[/tex]

= 2.14

So, the mean is 2.14

Now, For computing the standard deviation first we need to find out the variance which is shown below:-

Variance is

[tex]Var(X) = P(X^2) - [P(X)]^2\\\\ P(X^2) = .07\times (0^2) + .20\times (0^1) + .38\times (0^2) + .22\times (0^3) +0.13\times (0^4)[/tex]

After solving the above equation we will get

= 5.78

Now, the standard deviation is [tex]= \sqrt{Variance}[/tex]

[tex]= \sqrt{5.78}[/tex]

= 2.404163056

or

= 2.40

q1,q2 = half length of chord q

By the intersecting chord theorem,

p1*p2 = q1*q2,    substituting p1=p2, q1=q2

p1^2 = q1*2

Take square-roots and reject negative roots

p1 = q1

therefore

p1=p2 = q1=q2, or

In a local town, 54,000 families have incomes less than $25,000 per year. This number of families is 60% of the families that had this income level 12 years ago. What was the number of families who had incomes less than 25,000 per year 12 years ago

Answers

Answer: 90,000

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that in a local town, 54,000 families have incomes less than $25,000 per year. We are further told that this number of families is 60% of the families that had this income level 12 years ago.

To calculate the number of families who had incomes less than 25,000 per year 12 years ago goes thus:

Let the the number of families who had incomes less than 25,000 per year 12 years ago be represented by x.

Since we are told that this number of families is 60% of the families that had this income level 12 years ago. This means that:

60% of x = 54,000

60/100 × x = 54,000

0.6 × x = 54,000

0.6x = 54,000

Divide by 0.6

0.6x/0.6 = 54000/0.6

x = 90,000

The number of families who had incomes less than 25,000 per year 12 years ago was 90,000.
