Hi. how can i Find the *number* of terms of a finite geometric sequence?
​r= .75
a= 40
sum= 280

Answers

Answer 1

We have to use the formula  [tex]n = log_{r} (1+\frac{S_{n}(1-r) }{a})[/tex]  to find the number of terms of a finite geometric sequence.

If a be the first term of a finite sequence, r be the common ratio between consecutive terms and n be the number of terms.

So, we have to use the formula of sum of sequence and then calculate it to reduce the equation to find the value of number of terms, that is n.

Then, Sum of the sequence (Sn) = [tex]\frac{a(1-r^{n}) }{1-r}[/tex]

Here, in the given problem,

Sum(Sn) = 280, First term of the sequence(a) = 40, Common ratio(r) = 0.75

So, Sn = [tex]\frac{a(1-r^{n}) }{1-r}[/tex]

   ⇒ [tex]1-r^{n} =\frac{S_{n}(1-r) }{a}[/tex]

   ⇒ [tex]r^{n} =1+\frac{S_{n}(1-r) }{a}[/tex]

   ⇒ [tex]n = log_{r} (1+\frac{S_{n}(1-r) }{a})[/tex]          

Now you have to put the values and get the number of terms.

Line AB and line BC form a right angle at point B with points A (2,5) and B(8,3). what is the equation of line BC?​

Answers

Answer:

y=3x-21

Step-by-step explanation:

General outlineFind equation for line ABFind equation for perpendicular line BC

Step 1. Find equation for line AB

Given points A(2,5) and B(8,3), line AB must contain them.

To calculate the slope, [tex]m_{\text{AB}}[/tex], of line AB, use the slope formula:

[tex]m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

[tex]m_{\text{AB}}=\dfrac{(3)-(5)}{(8)-(2)}[/tex]

[tex]m_{\text{AB}}=\dfrac{-2}{6}[/tex]

[tex]m_{\text{AB}}=-\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Since the slope isn't undefined, line AB must cross the y-axis somewhere.  To find the y-intercept, build and equation in slope-intercept form:

[tex]y=m_{\text{AB}}x+b_{\text{AB}}[/tex]

[tex]y=\left(-\frac{1}{3} \right) x+b_{\text{AB}}[/tex]

Substituting values for a known point (point A) on line AB...

[tex](5)=\left(-\frac{1}{3} \right) (2)+b_{\text{AB}}[/tex]

[tex]5=-\frac{2}{3} +b_{\text{AB}}[/tex]

[tex](5)+\frac{2}{3} =(-\frac{2}{3} +b_{\text{AB}})+\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Finding a common denominator...

[tex]\frac{3}{3}*5+\frac{2}{3} =b_{\text{AB}}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{15}{3}+\frac{2}{3} =b_{\text{AB}}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{17}{3}=b_{\text{AB}}[/tex]

So, the equation for line AB is  [tex]y=-\frac{1}{3} x +\frac{17}{3}[/tex]

Step 2. Find equation for line BC

Since line AB and line BC form a right angle, they are perpendicular.  Perpendicular lines have slopes that are opposite (opposite sign) reciprocals (fraction flipped upside-down) of each other.  Stated another way, the slopes multiply to make negative 1.

[tex]m_{\text{AB}}*m_{\text{BC}}=-1[/tex]

[tex]\left( -\frac{1}{3} \right) *m_{\text{BC}}=-1[/tex]

[tex]-3*\left( -\frac{1}{3} *m_{\text{BC}} \right) =-3*(-1)[/tex]

[tex]m_{\text{BC}} =3[/tex]

Since the slope isn't undefined, line BC must also cross the y-axis somewhere.  To find the y-intercept, build and equation in slope-intercept form:

[tex]y=m_{\text{BC}}x+b_{\text{BC}}[/tex]

[tex]y=(3) x+b_{\text{BC}}[/tex]

Substituting values for a known point (point B) on line BC...

[tex](3)=3 * (8)+b_{\text{BC}}[/tex]

[tex]3=24+b_{\text{BC}}[/tex]

[tex](3)-24=(24+b_{\text{BC}})-24[/tex]

[tex]-21=b_{\text{BC}}[/tex]

So, the equation for line BC is  [tex]y=3 x -21[/tex]

S = sum of the interior angles of a polygon with n sides

S = 180(n-2)

S = 180(26-2)

S = 180(24)

S = 4320 degrees is the sum of the interior angles.

Find x and y please help

Answers

Answer:

x is 130°,y is 60°

Step-by-step explanation:

x is corresponding to 130° therefore they are equal to find y since the angle on a straight line is 180° you subtract 180 from 130 and get 50 then you have gotten the other interior angle then add both interior angles and subtract by180 then you get the y

Answer:

X = 130° Y = 60°

both the lines are parallel

therefore, X= 130° ( if two lines are parallel their corresponding angles are equal)

Y + 70° = X ( sum of tow interior angle is equal to exterior)

Y + 70= 130

Y = 130 - 70

Y = 60°

This is a problem of linear equations in 1 variable:

The linear equations in one variable is an equation which is expressed in the form of ax + b = 0, where a and b are two integers, and x is a variable and has only one solution.

It is given in the question that ,

This week his goal is to drive bike about 65 total miles over four days. Each day, he wants to ride 1.5 times as far as he rode the day before.

Let, on the first day, he drives x miles. On second day, he drives 1.5x. On the third day, he drives 1.5(1.5x) and on the fourth day, he drives 1.5(1.5(1.5x)).

So the equation is :

x +1.5x + 1.5(1.5x) + 1.5(1.5(1.5x)) = 65miles

x + 1.5x + 2.25x + 3.375x   = 65miles

            8.125x   =    65 miles

                  x   =  65/8.125  miles

                  x   = 8 miles

Answers

After all the conditions you applied from the statement given you will get the original number as 16.08.

What is the algebraic equation?

An algebraic equation is when two expressions are set equal to each other, and at least one variable is included.

Given that, if you subtract 0.3 from a certain number, add 0.4 times the original number to the result and then add another 2.78, you'll get 25.

We need to find the original number.

Let us take the original number as x.

Now, subtract 0.3 from the original number.

That is x-0.3.

0.4 times the original number is 0.4x.

Add 0.4 times the original number to the result.

That is, x-0.3+0.4x=1.4x-0.3

Now, add 2.78 to the result. That is 1.4x-0.3+2.78=1.4x+2.48.

As a result, you'll get 25. That is 1.4x+2.48=25

⇒1.4x=22.52

x=16.08

There, the original number is 16.08.

c. Suppose you have a maximum of $100 to spend for the car rental. What would be the maximum number of miles you could travel?



The maximum number of miles you could travel is ____________ miles.

Answers

Answer:

A. $60.25

B. 76 miles

C. 216 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

x is miles

y is total amount spent

For A, 57 miles is the x value. Plug that in to x.

y= 46 + .25(57)

y= 60.25

For B, the total is the y. So plug 65 in for y.

65 = 46 + .25x   Subtract 46 from both sides

19 = .25x             Divide by .25

76 = x

For C, the maximum you can spend is $100. Plug that in for y.

100 = 46 + .25x   Subtract 46 from both sides

54 = .25x             Divide by .25

216 = x

The answer for part a is $60.25, for part b the answer is 76 miles, and for part c the answer is 216 miles.

What is a function?

It is defined as a special type of relationship, and they have a predefined domain and range according to the function every value in the domain is related to exactly one value in the range.

The equation to represent the cost would be y=46+0.25x

x is the number of miles.

a) What is your cost if you travel 57 miles?

Plug x = 57 in the above equation:

y = 46 + 0.25(57)

y = $60.25

b) If your cost was $65.00, how many miles were you charged for traveling?

Plug y = 65 in the equation:

65 = 46 + 0.25x

x = 76 miles

c) Suppose you have a maximum of $100 to spend for the car rental. What would be the maximum number of miles you could travel?

Plug y = 100 in the equation:

100 = 46 + 0.25x

x = 216 miles

Thus, the answer for part a is $60.25, for part b the answer is 76 miles, and for part c the answer is 216 miles.

Shashi has a rectangular garden. The length of the garden is 4 feet less than twice the width. The area of the garden is 448 square feet. What is the length of the garden?

Answers

Answer:

28 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle is :

A = L × W

We are given A and a expression for L, so let's substitute :

448 = (2W-4) × W

Now we expand the left side :

2W²-4w = 448

Subtract 448 from both sides :

2W²-4W-448 = 0

Divide everything by 2 :

W²-2W-224 = 0

Now we factorise :

Find 2 numbers that multiply to give -224 and add to give -2 :

-16 and 14

Rewrite -2W with -16W and +14W :

W² - 16W + 14W -224 = 0

W(W-16)  +14(W-16) = 0

(W+14)(W-16) = 0

W = -14 ,  W = 16

Only take positive value since this is lengths :

W = 16

Now we substitute W into the expression to find L :

L = (2W -4)

L = 2(16) - 4

L = 32 - 4

L = 28

Units will be feet since it is a length

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance around the edge of a circle is called the circumference.

Formula for the circumference of a circle

[tex]\sf Circumference\:of\:a\:circle=2 \pi r[/tex]

(where r is the radius)

Given values:

radius = 5 ftπ = 3.14

Substitute the given values into the formula:

[tex]\begin{aligned}\implies \sf circumference & = \sf 2 \cdot 3.14 \cdot 5\\ & = \sf 31.4\:ft \end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore, the distance around the edge of the circular patio is 31.4 ft.

The distance around the edge of the patio is 31.4 feet, which is determined by the circumference of a circle. The correct answer is option (F).

To find the distance around the edge of the circular patio, we need to calculate the circumference of the circle.

The formula for the circumference of a circle is given by:

Circumference = 2 × π × radius

Given that the radius of the patio is 5 feet and using the approximate value of π as 3.14, we can now calculate the circumference:

Circumference = 2 × 3.14 × 5

Circumference = 31.4 feet

Therefore, the distance around the edge of the patio is 31.4 feet.

Hence, the correct answer is option (F).

Answer:

[tex]\tan(\beta)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

For many of these identities, it is helpful to convert everything to sine and cosine, see what cancels, and then work to build out to something.  If you have options that you're building toward, aim toward one of them.

[tex]{\tan(\theta)}={\dfrac{\sin(\theta)}{\cos(\theta)}[/tex]    and   [tex]{\sec(\theta)}={\dfrac{1}{\cos(\theta)}[/tex]

Recall the following reciprocal identity:

[tex]\cot(\theta)=\dfrac{1}{\tan(\theta)}=\dfrac{1}{ \left ( \dfrac{\sin(\theta)}{\cos(\theta)} \right )} =\dfrac{\cos(\theta)}{\sin(\theta)}[/tex]

So, the original expression can be written in terms of only sines and cosines:

[tex]\sin(\beta)\tan(\beta)\sec(\beta)\cot(\beta)[/tex]

[tex]\sin(\beta) * \dfrac{\sin(\beta) }{\cos(\beta) } * \dfrac{1 }{\cos(\beta) } * \dfrac{\cos(\beta) } {\sin(\beta) }[/tex]

[tex]\sin(\beta) *\dfrac{1 }{\cos(\beta) }[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{\sin(\beta)}{\cos(\beta) }[/tex]

Working toward one of the answers provided, this is the tangent function.


The one caveat is that the original expression also was undefined for values of beta that caused the sine function to be zero, whereas this simplified function is only undefined for values of beta where the cosine is equal to zero.  However, the questions states that we are only considering values for which the original expression is defined, so, excluding those values of beta, the original expression is equivalent to [tex]\tan(\beta)[/tex].

g(x + 1) = 5(x + 1) + 1

g(x + 1) = 5x + 5 + 1

g(x + 1) = 5x + 6

Then ,

F(4) = g(x + 1)

5 = 5x + 6

5x = 5 - 6

5x = -1

x = -1/5.

The function of f(4) = g(x+1) gives the value of x that is -1/5.

What is the power of a number?

The power of a number identifies how many times that particular number is multiplied by itself.

Here, let us assume that the different equations = x

Using a power of 10, we have 10x making a total of 640.

10x = 640

Divide both sides by 10

10x/10 = 640/10

x = 64

Therefore, we can conclude that we can make 64 different equations using the power of ten.

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the leg in the triangle shown below.
The figure shows a right triangle with one leg marked 12. The hypotenuse is marked 15.

Answers

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean Theorem is a² + b² = c². c² is the hypotenuse while a² and b² are the legs.

So plugging it into the equation,

a² + 12² = 15²

a² + 144 = 225

a² = 81

a = 9

steps:

1. square the values

2. isolate the missing value

3. take the square root of both sides
