The sum of two terms of gp is 6 and that of first four terms is 15/2.Find the sum of first six terms.​

Answers

Answer 1

Given:

The sum of two terms of GP is 6 and that of first four terms is [tex]\dfrac{15}{2}.[/tex]

To find:

The sum of first six terms.​

Solution:

We have,

[tex]S_2=6[/tex]

[tex]S_4=\dfrac{15}{2}[/tex]

Sum of first n terms of a GP is

[tex]S_n=\dfrac{a(1-r^n)}{1-r}[/tex]              ...(i)

Putting n=2, we get

[tex]S_2=\dfrac{a(1-r^2)}{1-r}[/tex]

[tex]6=\dfrac{a(1-r)(1+r)}{1-r}[/tex]

[tex]6=a(1+r)[/tex]                    ...(ii)

Putting n=4, we get

[tex]S_4=\dfrac{a(1-r^4)}{1-r}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{15}{2}=\dfrac{a(1-r^2)(1+r^2)}{1-r}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{15}{2}=\dfrac{a(1+r)(1-r)(1+r^2)}{1-r}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{15}{2}=6(1+r^2)[/tex]            (Using (ii))

Divide both sides by 6.

[tex]\dfrac{15}{12}=(1+r^2)[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{5}{4}-1=r^2[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{5-4}{4}=r^2[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{1}{4}=r^2[/tex]

Taking square root on both sides, we get

[tex]\pm \sqrt{\dfrac{1}{4}}=r[/tex]

[tex]\pm \dfrac{1}{2}=r[/tex]

[tex]\pm 0.5=r[/tex]

Case 1: If r is positive, then using (ii) we get

[tex]6=a(1+0.5)[/tex]  

[tex]6=a(1.5)[/tex]  

[tex]\dfrac{6}{1.5}=a[/tex]  

[tex]4=a[/tex]

The sum of first 6 terms is

[tex]S_6=\dfrac{4(1-(0.5)^6)}{(1-0.5)}[/tex]

[tex]S_6=\dfrac{4(1-0.015625)}{0.5}[/tex]

[tex]S_6=8(0.984375)[/tex]

[tex]S_6=7.875[/tex]

Case 2: If r is negative, then using (ii) we get

[tex]6=a(1-0.5)[/tex]  

[tex]6=a(0.5)[/tex]  

[tex]\dfrac{6}{0.5}=a[/tex]  

[tex]12=a[/tex]  

The sum of first 6 terms is

[tex]S_6=\dfrac{12(1-(-0.5)^6)}{(1+0.5)}[/tex]

[tex]S_6=\dfrac{12(1-0.015625)}{1.5}[/tex]

[tex]S_6=8(0.984375)[/tex]

[tex]S_6=7.875[/tex]

Therefore, the sum of the first six terms is 7.875.

The difference between two numbers is 2.5 . The product of those two numbers is 21. Provide the 2 equations needed to solve the application separated by a comma and NO SPACES.

Answers

Answer:

x-y=2.5,xy=21

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved by a system of equations.

I am going to say that:

One of the numbers is x.

The other number is y.

The difference between two numbers is 2.5

This means that x - y = 2.5

The product of those two numbers is 21.

This means that xy = 21.

So the two equations are: x-y=2.5,xy=21

Witch one is a function?

Answers

Answer: Choice D

This shows a list of points where the x coordinate does not repeat. This means that any given x input leads to exactly one y output.

Something like choice A has x = 6 repeated; showing that x = 6 leads to both y = 11 and y = -9 at the same time. So this is why choice A is not a function. Choice B has x = 1 repeat, so it's not a function either. Choice C has x = 19 repeated, so it's not a function.

As a visual tool, you can use the vertical line test to check each set of points. If you are able to draw a single vertical line through more than one point on the graph, then it is not a function.

mary ann spent $26.85 total on two new toys. She had a coupon for 1.00 off her total purchase and spend 1.75 on sales tax. Each toy cost the same amount how much did each toy cost?

Answers

Answer: $13.80

Step-by-step explanation:

Mary ann spent $26.85 total on two new toys but had a coupon for $1.00 off her total purchase. Therefore, we subtract $1.00 from $26.85. This will be:

= $26.85 - $1.00

= $25.85

Shw then spend $1.75 on sales tax. Total coat will now be:

= $25.85 + $1.75

= $27.60

Since each toy coat same amount, therefore each toy will cost:

= $27.60 / 2

= $13.80

The diagram shows a piece of cheese in the shape of the triangular prism.Work out the area of the cling film needed to cover the cheese

Answers

Answer:

488.4 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of cling film needed = surface area of the triangular prism = 2(B.A) + P×H

Where,

B.A = triangular base area = ½*base*height

height = 10.5 cm

base = √(13.7² - 10.5²) = √77.44 = 8.8 cm

B.A = ½*8.8*10.5 = 46.2 cm²

P = perimeter of the triangular base = 10.5 + 13.7 + 8.8 = 33

H = height of prism = 12 cm

Surface area of triangular prism = 2(46.2) + 33*12

= 92.4 + 396

= 488.4 cm²
