Answer: the eight term is 8/243

Step-by-step explanation:

Each term in this geometric sequence is equal to the previous term, divided by 3.

72,24, 8

a = 72, r = 1/3

a = first term, r is common ratio

tn = ar^n-1

t8 = 72÷ 3^8–1

t8 = 72÷ 3^7

= 72/ 3^7

= 8/243

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a right angle triangle ABC as shown in the diagram. If ∠BCA = 90°, the hypotenuse AB = 26, AC = 10 and BC = 24.

Using the SOH, CAH, TOA trigonometry identity, SInce we are to find tanA, we will use TOA. According to TOA;

Tan (A) = opp/adj

Taken BC as opposite side since it is facing angle A directly and AC as the adjacent;

tan(A) = BC/AC

tan(A) = 24/10

tan(A) = 12/5

The right option is therefore twelve-fifths

Answer:

The correct answer is option C. 12/5

Answer:

C.  2 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there is a distance of 6 1/2 units, you have to add and subtract 6 1/2 from the number.

-4 - 6 1/2 = -10 1/2

-4 + 6 1/2 = 2 1/2

Looking at the answer choices, 2 1/2 can represent point Q.

Answer:  [tex]\bold{9)\ \sin \theta=\dfrac{1}{3}\qquad 10)\ \sin \theta = \dfrac{4}{5}\qquad 11)\ \cos \theta = \dfrac{\sqrt{11}}{6}\qquad 12)\ \tan \theta = \dfrac{17\sqrt2}{26}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean Theorem is: a² + b² = c²   , where "c" is the hypotenuse

[tex]9)\ \sin \theta=\dfrac{\text{side opposite of}\ \theta}{\text{hypotenuse of triangle}}=\dfrac{4}{12}\quad \rightarrow \large\boxed{\dfrac{1}{3}}[/tex]

Note: 4² + (8√2)² = hypotenuse²   →   hypotenuse = 12

[tex]10)\ \sin \theta=\dfrac{\text{side opposite of}\ \theta}{\text{hypotenuse of triangle}}=\dfrac{16}{20}\quad \rightarrow \large\boxed{\dfrac{4}{5}}[/tex]

Note: 12² + opposite² = 20²   →   opposite = 16

[tex]11)\ \cos \theta=\dfrac{\text{side adjacent to}\ \theta}{\text{hypotenuse of triangle}}=\dfrac{\sqrt{11}}{6}\quad =\large\boxed{\dfrac{\sqrt{11}}{6}}[/tex]

Note: adjacent² + 5² = 6²   →   adjacent = √11

[tex]12)\ \tan \theta=\dfrac{\text{side opposite of}\ \theta}{\text{side adjacent to}\ \theta}=\dfrac{17}{13\sqrt2}\quad =\large\boxed{\dfrac{17\sqrt2}{26}}[/tex]

Note: adjacent² + 7² = (13√2)²   →   adjacent = 17

Answer:

a = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

negative (5 minus (a + 1)) = 9 minus (5 minus (2a minus 3)) can be expressed mathematically as follows.

- (5 - (a + 1)) = 9 - (5 - (2a - 3))

using the principle of PEMDAS, all the parenthesis values are first solved

- (5 - a - 1) = 9 - (5 - 2a + 3)

-5 + a + 1 = 9 - 5 + 2a - 3

collect like terms

-5 + 1 - 9 + 5 + 3 = 2a - a

-5 = a Therefore,

a = -5

Answer:

9x^8

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) is a binomial.  Multiplying a binomial by itself results in a trinomial.  In this problem we need ONLY to specify what the leading coefficient (coefficient of this trinomial product) is.

Here this is obtained by squaring the coefficient −3x^4.  We get"

(-3)^2*(x^4)^2  =  9x^8

Answer:

~73.68

Step-by-step explanation:

In the right triangle with one angle = 45 deg

=> Isosceles right triangle

=> a = b = hypotenuse/sqrt(2) = (12sqrt(2))/sqrt(2) = 12

In other right triangle with 3 sides are a, c, and d, we have:

sin (30 deg) = a/d

=> d = a/sin(30 deg) = 12/(1/2) = 12 x 2 = 24

Othwise, cosine (30 deg) = c/d

=> c = d x cos(30 deg) = 24 x sqrt(3)/2 = 12sqrt(3)

=> The perimeter of the biggest triangle is calculated by:

P = 12sqrt(2) + b + c + d = 12sqrt(2) + 12 + 12sqrt(3) + 24 = ~73.68

Answer: D. All interior angles and all sides are congruent.

Step-by-step explanation:

If it is a regular polygon, then all angles and sides have to be congruent.

The interior angles aren’t congruent to the exterior angles.

Not all angles have to be congruent, in regular or irregular.

Since this polygon has 25 sides, opposite pairs aren’t parallel because there are an odd number of sides. That means there are no opposite pairs.

Answer:

3.4 yd^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume is

V = l*w*h

V = 2 4/5 * 2 * 3/5

Changing the mixed number to an improper fraction

2 4/5 = ( 5*2+4)/5 = 14/5

V =  14/5 * 2 * 3/5

  = 84/25

Changing back to a mixed number

3*25 = 75 with 9 left over

3 9/25

3.36 yd^3

To the nearest tenth

3.4 yd^3

Answer: 3.4 yards cubed, after rounding.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the volume of a rectangular prism, use the following formula:

[tex]V = wlh[/tex], where w is the width, l is the length, and h is the height

Substitute the values given to you into the formula:

[tex]V = 2 * \frac{3}{5} * 2\frac{4}{5}[/tex]

Simplify the mixed number by multiplying both the numerator and denominator of 2/1 by 5 to get 10/5 and add it to the fraction to get 14/5.

[tex]V = \frac{2}{1} * \frac{3}{5} * \frac{14}{5}[/tex]

Now, multiply the numerators and denominators of the fractions and simplify:

[tex]V = \frac{2 * 3 * 14}{5 * 5}\\\\V = \frac{84}{25}\\\\\\V = 3.36[/tex]

The volume is 3.36 yards cubed. Round to the nearest tenth to get 3.4 yards cubed.

Answer:

At x = -2 the graph of this polynomial will touch the x-axis.

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall the behavior difference between power functions of even and odd power. Odd powers are associated with the crossing of the x-axis, while even powers are associated with "touching" of the x axis.

in this cases, since they give you the function in factor form, the actual roots (x-values where the function adopts value zero) of the function are evident :

[tex]f(x)=(x-5)^3\, (x+2)^2[/tex]

It has a root at x = 5 [notice that at such x-value the factor (x-5) becomes zero], and this root is of multiplicity "3" (given by the power associated with the binomial factor for this root)

and has another root at x = -2  [notice that at such x-value the factor (x+2) becomes zero], and this root is of multiplicity "2" (given by the power associated with the binomial factor for it)

It is just the second root analyzed the one that shows an even power (2) associated to its binomial factor, and therefore it is at x= -2 that the graph of this function will show as "touching" the x axis.

Step-by-step explanation:

The gender of a child which is either a boy or a girl is determined by the XX-chromosomes, or XY-chromosomes.

Since the couple plan to have 5 children, the chance of a child being a boy is equal to the chance of it being a girl - the chances are 50/50.

What we do to achieve our aim is to run a simulation that would add an X or Y to an X for all 5 children.

Doing this 125 times, we obtain the number of trials we desire.

For each trial, we get for each child, C:

C1: X + (X or Y)

C2: X + (X or Y)

C3: X + (X or Y)

C4: X + (X or Y)

C5: X + (X or Y)

Since the chance of having an X is equal to the chance of having a Y, they equal probability, which is 0.5 for each.

Answer:

44,886 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the volume

V = l*w*h

V = 30ft*25ft*8ft

V =6000 ft^3

We know that 1 ft^3 = 7.481 gallons

6000 ft^3 * 7.481 gallons/1 ft^3 = 44886 gallons

Answer:

44,883 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of water the pool can hold can be found by calculating the volume of the pool.

We know that the pool is rectangular, and it is a three dimensional shape (3 dimensions: length, width and depth). Therefore, we can use the formula for finding the volume of a rectangular prism:

V=l*w*h

We know the length is 30 feet and the width is 25 feet. The height is also the depth, so the height is 8 feet.

l= 30 feet

w=25 feet

h= 8 feet

Substitute these values into the formula.

V= 30 feet * 25 feet * 8 feet

Multiply the numbers together.

V= (30 feet * 25 feet) * 8 feet

V= 750 feet^2 * 8 feet

V=6000 feet^3

Now, let's find how many gallons the pool can hold.

1 ft^3 is equal to 7.4805 gallons. Therefore, we can multiply 6000 ft^3 and 7.4805

6000 ft^3 * 7.4805 gallons/1 ft^3

6000* 7.4805 gallons

44,883 gallons

The pool can hold 44,883 gallons of water.
