Find the 10 th term of each geometric sequence. a₁₁ =-5, r=-1/2

Answers

Answer 1

The 10th term of the geometric sequence with a(11) = -5 and r = -1/2 is a(10) = 10.

A geometric sequence is a sequence of numbers where the nth term is obtained by multiplying the (n-1)th term by a constant, called a common ratio (r). Mathematically, it can be expressed as:

a(n) = a(n-1) . r

So, if  a(1), a(2), a(3), ..., a(n) is a geometric sequence, then:

a(2) = a(1) . r

a(3) = a(1) . r

and so on.

In the problem, the given parameters are: a(11) = -5 and r = -1/2, and we need to find a(10).

Using the above recursion:

a(11) = a(10) . r

-5 = a(10) . (-1/2)

Multiply both sides by (-2)

-5 . (-2) = a(10) . (-1/2) . (-2)

a(10) = 10

If TQ = 2x - 6 and RQ = x + 3 then the measure of TQ = 12.

What is Perpendicular Bisector Theorem?

The perpendicular bisector theorem states that if a point is on a segment's perpendicular bisector, it is equidistant from the segment's endpoints.

According to the perpendicular bisector theorem, any point on the perpendicular bisector is equidistant from both ends of the line segment on which it is drawn. If a pillar stands at an angle in the center of a bridge, all of its points will be equidistant from the bridge's end points.

Where, TQ = 2x - 6 and RQ = x + 3

By the Perpendicular Bisector Theorem, RQ = TQ.

2x - 6 = x + 3

x = 9

Substitute the value of x in TQ, we get

TQ = 2(9) - 6

= 18 - 6

= 12

The company in Problem 2 has an alternative bonus plan. It pays a $ 5000 bonus if a new salesperson makes 10 sales in the first week and then improves by one sale per week each week thereafter. One salesperson qualified for this bonus with the minimum number of sales. How many sales did the salesperson make in week 50 ? In all 50 weeks?

Answers

The given situation shows an arithmetic sequence and the number of sales in the week 50 can be determined by using the nth term formula of arithmetic sequence. The sales in all 50 weeks can be determined by using the formula for sum of finite arithmetic sequence.

An arithmetic sequence is an ordered set of numbers that have a constant difference called a common difference between consecutive terms. Each term is obtained by adding the common difference to the previous term.

In the given situation, the first term (a) is the number of sales to be made in the first week. Hence, a = 10

The common difference (d) is the number added to get the number of sales in the next week. Hence,

d = 1

Hence, in the 2nd week the number of sales should be 11 and in 3rd week it should be 12.

Using the formula for nth term and n = 50,

an=a+(n-1)d

a50=10+(50-1)1

a50=10+(49)1

a50=10+49=59

The formula of finding the sum of the finite arithmetic sequence:

Sn=(n/2)(a1+an)

S50=(50/2)(10+59)

S50=25(69)=1725

Hence, the number of sales in the 50th week is 59 and the total number of sales made in the 50 weeks is 1725.

A car manufacturer is reducing the number of incidents with the transmission by issuing a voluntary recall. During week 10 of the recall, the manufacturer fixed 200 cars. In week 15, the manufacturer fixed 175 cars. Assume that the reduction in the number of cars each week is linear. Write an equation in function form to show the number of cars seen each week by the mechanic.

f(x) = 5x + 250
f(x) = −5x + 250
f(x) = 10x + 200
f(x) = −10x + 200

Answers

Answer :f(x) = -5x + 250

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets  explain how to solve the problem

- In week 10 the manufacturer fixed 200 cars

- In week 15, the manufacturer fixed 175 cars

- the reduction in the number of cars each week is linear

- The form of the linear equation is y = mx + c, where m is the slope of

the line which represent the equation and c is the y-intercept

- The slope of the line m =

 where (x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are two points on the line

* Lets solve the problem

- Assume that the weeks' number is x and the cars' number is y

∴ (10 , 200) and (15 , 175) are two points on the line which represent

 the linear equation between the cars' numbers and the weeks

 numbers

∵ Point (x1 , y1) is (10 , 200) and point (x2 , y2) is (15 , 175)

∴ x1 = 10 , x2 = 15 and y1 = 200 and y2 = 175

- Use the rule of the slope above to find m

- Substitute the value of x in the form of the linear equation above

∴ y = -5x + c

- To find c substitute x and y by one the coordinates of one of the

 two points

∵ x = 10 when y = 200

∴ 200 = -5(10) + c

∴ 200 = -50 + c

- Add 50 to both sides

∴ 250 = c

- Substitute the value of c by 250

∴ y = -5x + 250, where the number of cars seen each week is y and

 x is the number of the week

∵ f(x) = y

∴ f(x) = -5x + 250

Denise is using a ladder to clean the outside of her second story windows. The ladder she is using is 24 feet long and she puts the base of the ladder 13 feet away from the house in order to avoid her flower gardens. How high up the side of her house does the ladder reach? Round to the nearest tenth, if necessary.

Answers

The ladder can reach 21.17 feet high up of Denise's house.

Given,

The length of ladder Denise used to clean the outside of her second story windows = 24 feet

The distance between the base of the ladder and house = 13 feet

We have to find the height of the house which the ladder can reach:

For that we can use Pythagorean Theorem.

That is,

Hypotenuse² = Altitude² + Base²

Here,

Hypotenuse is the length of the ladder = 24 feet

Altitude is the height of the house ladder can reach = x

Base is the distance between base of the ladder and house = 13 feet

Therefore,

24² = x² + 13²

576 = x² + 169

x² = 576 - 169

x² = 407

x = [tex]\sqrt{407}[/tex]

x = 21.17

That is, the ladder can reach 21.17 feet high up of Denise's house

Answers

The solution of the equation is  (-3, 6).

How to solve system of equation?

-3c - 3y = -9

5c - 2y = -27

Therefore, using elimination method, the equation can be solved as follows:

multiply equation(ii) by 1.5(3  /2)

-3c - 3y = -9

7.5c - 3y = - 40.5

subtract equation(i) from equation(ii)

10.5c = - 31.5

divide both sides by 10.5

c = -31.5 / 10.5

c = -3

Therefore,

5c - 2y = -27

5(-3) - 2y = -27

-15 - 2y = -27

-2y = -27 + 15

-2y = - 12

divide both sides by -2

y = -12 / -2

y = 6

The angle measurements in the diagram are represented by the following expressions.
B = 3x + 53°
A= 6x - 35°
Solve for x and then find the measure of A:

Answers

The value of x is 18° and the value of the angles A and B are 73° and 107° respectively.

We are given the angle measurements as:

A = (6x - 35)°

B = (3x + 53)°

We need to solve for x and find the values of A and B

We know that co- interior angles are supplementary.

So, we get that:

A + B = 180°

Substituting the values of A and B in the above equation, we get that:

6 x - 35 + 3 x + 53 = 180

9 x + 18 = 180

9 x = 180 - 18

9 x = 162

x = 162 / 9

x = 18

So, we now get that:

A = (6x - 35)°

A = (6(18) - 35)°

A =(108 - 35)°

A = 73°

B = (3 x + 53)°

B = (3 (18) + 53)°

B = ( 54 + 53 )°

B = 107°

Therefore, we get that the  value of x is 18° and the value of the angles A and B are 73° and 107° respectively.

Divide both sides by 2, then:

True inequality also exists when 4 > 1. Due to the fact that we divided by a positive number, the inequality symbol remained.

Let's begin once more with

8 > 2, and apply a -2 to both sides.

-4 > -1 is erroneous. The inequality is no longer valid if the inequality sign changes when both sides are divided by a negative integer. When dividing both sides by a negative integer, the inequality sign must be changed in order to maintain its validity.

Sn = a(1 - rⁿ)/(1 - r) is the formula for the sum of a finite number of terms in a geometric series, where is the number of terms, is the first term, and is the common ratio.

The sum of the finite geometric series Σ⁴ n=1 (1/2)ⁿ⁺¹ is 0.46875.

What is meant by finite geometric series?

The equation be Sn = a(1 - rⁿ)/(1 - r), where s exists the total, a1 exists the series first term, and r exists the common ratio, is a general formula for estimating the sum of an finite geometric series. The formula a2/a1, where a2 is the second term in the series and a1 is the first term in the series, can be used to determine the common ratio.

Let the sum of the finite geometric series be Σ⁴ n=1 (1/2)ⁿ⁺¹

Σ⁴ n=1 (1/2)ⁿ⁺¹ = (1/2)¹⁺¹ + (1/2)²⁺¹ +(1/2)³⁺¹ + (1/2)⁴⁺¹

simplifying the above equation, we get

= (1/2)² + (1/2)³ + (1/2)⁴ + (1/2)⁴⁺¹

= (1/4) + (1/8) + (1/16) + (1/32)

Where, the first term is a = 1/4

common ratio be r = 1/2

n th term be n = 4

Let the equation be Sn = a(1 - rⁿ)/(1 - r)

substitute the values in the above equation, we get

S4 = (1/4) (1-(1/2)⁴) / (1 - (1/2))

simplifying the above equation, we get

S4 = (1/4) (15/16) × 2 = 15/32 = 0.46875

Therefore, the sum of the finite geometric series Σ⁴ n=1 (1/2)ⁿ⁺¹ is 0.46875.

Answers

Money received in tenth month: $104.

A formula that describes this arithmetic sequence: [tex]a_n=a_{n-1}+n[/tex], n > 1., where n = number of month.

What is arithmetic progression?

A series of numbers called an arithmetic progression or arithmetic sequence (AP) has a constant difference between the terms.

Given:

Money received in first four months: $50, $52, $55, %59.

To find: Money received in tenth month.

Finding:

As we can see, the pattern followed here is: increment in each amount received each month by $1. Thus it is an arithmetic progression.

That is: 50, 52 (0+2), 55 (2+3), 59 (2 + 3 + 4) and so on.

Thus, for the tenth month, we can use the formula of recursion, given by: [tex]a_n=a_{n-1}+n[/tex], n ≥ 1.

For a₁ = 50, a₂ = a₁ + 2

=> a₂ = 50 + 2

This way, a₅ = a₄ + 5

=> a₅ = 59 + 5 = 64

a₆ = a₅ + 6

=> a₆ = 64 + 6 = 70

a₇ = a₆ + 7

=> a₇ = 70 + 7 = 77

a₈ = a₇ + 8

=> a₈ = 77 + 8 = 85

a₉ = a₈ + 9

=> a₉ = 85 + 9 = 94

a₁₀ = a₉ + 10

=> a₁₀ = 94 + 10 = 104

Thus, the payment received in tenth month will be $104.
