The third and the sixth term of a geometric progression are 24 and 64/9 respectively. Find

a) the first term and common ratio
b) the sum of the first five terms​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Ai. Common ratio = 2/3

Aii. First term = 54

B. Sum of the first five terms = 422/3

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

3rd term (T3) = 24

6Th term (T6) = 64/9

First term (a) =?

Common ratio (r) =?

Sum of the first five terms​ (S5) =?

Ai. Determination of the common ratio (r).

T3 = ar²

T3 = 24

24 = ar²....... (1)

T6 = ar⁵

T6 = 64/9

64/9 = ar⁵......... (2)

The equation are:

24 = ar²....... (1)

64/9 = ar⁵......... (2)

Divide equation 2 by equation 1.

64/9 ÷ 24 = ar⁵ / ar²

64/9 × 1/24 = r³

8/27 = r³

Take the cube root of both side

r = 3√(8/27)

r = 2/3

Thus, the common ratio is 2/3

Aii. Determination of the first term (a).

T3 = ar²

3rd term (T3) = 24

Common ratio (r) = 2/3

First term (a) =?

24 = a(2/3)²

24 = 4a/9

Cross multiply

24 × 9 = 4a

216 = 4a

Divide both side by 4

a = 216/4

a = 54

Thus, the first term (a) is 54

B. Determination of the sum of the first five terms.

Common ratio (r) = 2/3

First term (a) = 54

Number of term (n) = 5

Sum of first five terms (S5) =?

Sn = a[1 –rⁿ] / 1 – r

S5 = 54[1 – (⅔)⁵] / 1 – ⅔

S5 = 54 [1 – 32/243] / ⅓

S5 = 54 (211/243) × 3

S5 = 54 × 211/81

S5 = 6 × 211/9

S5 = 2 × 211/3

S5 = 422/3

Thus, the sum of the first five terms is 422/3

What is the domain of the square root function graphed below?

Answers

Answer:

The domain of the graph must be [tex]x\ge \:-4[/tex].

Therefore,

[tex]x\ge \:-4\quad :\quad \begin{bmatrix}\mathrm{Solution:}\:&\:x\ge \:-4\:\\ \:\mathrm{Interval\:Notation:}&\:[-4,\:\infty \:)\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

Hence, option a is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graph, it is clear that the graph is heading towards positive infinity from x=-4.

The point x=-4 is included in the graph as the starting point of the graph i.e. x=4 is showing a closed circle on x=4, and heading towards positive infinity onward.

i.e. [-4, ∞)

Hence, the domain of the graph must be [tex]x\ge \:-4[/tex].

Therefore,

[tex]x\ge \:-4\quad :\quad \begin{bmatrix}\mathrm{Solution:}\:&\:x\ge \:-4\:\\ \:\mathrm{Interval\:Notation:}&\:[-4,\:\infty \:)\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

Hence, option a is true.

a company makes two different-sized ice cream cones. The smaller cones are 3.5 inches tall and have a diameter of 3 inches. The larger cones are 5.1 inches tall and have a diameter of 4.5. inches. About how much greater, to the nearest tenth of a cubic inch, is the volume of the larger cone than the volume of the smaller cone?

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  18.8 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the volume of a cone is useful:

  V = 1/3πr²h

Where r is half the diameter, we can use r=d/2 to write this in terms of diameter:

  V = 1/3π(d/2)²h = (π/12)d²h

For the given dimensions, the volumes are ...

  large cone: v = (π/12)(4.5 in)²(5.1 in) ≈ 27.04 in³

  small cone: v = (π/12)(3 in)²(3.5 in) ≈ 8.25 in³

Then the difference in volume is ...

  (27.04 -8.25) in³ ≈ 18.8 in³

The larger cone has about 18.8 cubic inches more volume.

PLEASE HELP!! solve |2x-2| ≥6.

Answers

Answer:

x ≤ -2    OR  x ≥ 4

__________________________________________________________

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the inequality:

|2x - 2| ≥ 6

Getting rid of the Modulus:

Since 2x-2 is in modulus:

|2x-2| =  -(2x-2)    OR   2x-2

(since the modulus of both these values is 2x-2)

Hence, our inequality can be written in 2 different ways:

2x-2 ≥ 6                              (if 2x-2 ≥ 1)-(2x - 2) ≥ 6                         (if 2x-2 < 0)

__________________________________________________________

Solving these 2 inequalities:

Solving inequality 1:

2x - 2 ≥ 6                

2x ≥ 8                     [adding 2 on both sides]

x ≥ 4                       [dividing both the sides by 2]

This is the solution of the inequality if: 2x-2 ≥ 0

Solving Inequality 2:

-(2x-2) ≥ 6

It can be rewritten as:

2 - 2x ≥ 6                

2 ≥ 6 + 2x                [adding 2x on both the sides]  

-4 ≥ 2x                     [Subtracting 6 from both sides]

x ≤ -2                       [Dividing both sides by 2]

This is the solution of the given inequality if: 2x-2 < 0

__________________________________________________________

Solution of the given Inequality:

Therefore, the solution of the given inequality |2x-2| ≥ 6 are:

x ≥ 4   (if 2x-2 ≥ 0)

x ≤ -2  (if 2x-2 < 0)

Hence, option C is correct!

xoxo, your highness...

The probability of people liking hot or iced coffee is 0.61. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.

What is the probability?

Probability can be defined as the ratio of the number of favourable outcomes to the total number of outcomes of an event.

We know that, probability of an event = Number of favourable outcomes/Total number of outcomes

Given that, according to sales records at a local coffee shop, 75% of all customers like hot coffee, 30% like cold coffee and 22% like both hot and iced coffee.

People like only hot coffee = 0.53

People like only iced coffee = 0.08

Customers like hot or iced coffee =0.53+0.08

= 0.61

Therefore, option C is the correct answer.

A person 6ft tall stands 10ft from point P directly beneath a lantern hanging 30 ft above the ground. The lantern start to fall, thus causing the person shadow to lengthen(L). Given that the lantern falls 16t2 feet in t seconds, how fast will the shadow be lengthening when t=1

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\frac{dL}{dt}=30 \frac{ft}{s}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this it is always a good idea to start by drawing a diagram of the situation (See attached picture).

From the diagram we can see that we are dealing with similar triangles. We can use similar triangles to build an equation that relates the length of the shadow with the height of the lamp, so we get:

[tex]\frac{L}{6}=\frac{10+L}{h}[/tex]

the height of the lamp can be found by subtracting the [tex]16t^{2}[/tex] distance the lamp falls in a given time t from the original 30ft the lamp was located at.

So the equation will now lok like this:

[tex]\frac{L}{6}=\frac{10+L}{30-16t^{2}}[/tex]

So now we can solve the equation for L, we can start by multiplying by the LCD SO WE GET:

[tex]L(30-16t^{2})=6(10+L)[/tex]

next, we can distribute the right side of the equation so we get:

[tex]L(30-16t^{2})=60+6L[/tex]

and subtract 6L from both sides so we get:

[tex]L(30-16t^{2})-6L=60[/tex]

and factor L, so we get:

[tex]L(30-16t^{2}-6)=60[/tex]

and solve for L:

[tex]L=\frac{60}{24-16t^{2}}[/tex]

now, we can differentiate this equation by using the chain rule, so we get:

[tex]dL=-\frac{60}{(24-16t^{2})^{2}}(-32t)dt[/tex]

which can be simplified to:

[tex]\frac{dL}{dt}=\frac{1920t}{(24-16t^{2})^{2}}[/tex]

and now we can substitute t for 1s so we get:

[tex]\frac{dL}{dt}=\frac{1920(1)}{(24-16(1)^{2})^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dL}{dt}=30 \frac{ft}{s}[/tex]

If the parallel lines m and n are 6 units apart, how many units of translation is equivalent to the composition of two reflections over lines m and n?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Reflection over two lines x units apart is equivalent to a translation of 2x units. Since the given lines are 6 units apart, ...

  the equivalent translation is of 12 units.

___

Example:

Lines at x=0 and x=6. Point (x, 0). After reflection over x=0, the point is located at (2·0 -(x), 0) = (-x, 0). After reflection of that over x=6, the point is located at (2·6 -(-x), 0) = (12 +x, 0). That is, 12 has been added to the x-coordinate, meaning the point was translated 12 units. (The translation is in the direction the second line is from the first.)

First Degree Equations

A first-degree equation can have one, none, or infinitely many solutions.

An equation like

2x + 3 = -x + 6

Has one solution: x=1

An equation like:

4x + 2 = 4x + 1

Has no solutions because when trying to solve for x we get:

2 = 1

This equality is false and no value of x can make it true

Finally, the equation:

3x + 2 = x + 2x + 2

Has infiniteyl many solutions, because when trying to solve it, we get:

2 = 2

Which is true regardless of the value of x

The first given equation:

3x + 9 + 4x + x = ??

can be simplified as:

8x + 9 = ??

For this equation not having solutions, we should have 8x plus any number but 9 on the right side of the equation:

8x + 9 = 8x -3, or

8x + 9 = 8x + 4

The second given equation:

3x + 9 + 4x + x = ??

can be simplified as:

8x + 9 = ??

If the equation has one solution, the only condition is that we should not have 8x on the right side. Thus any of those will do:

8x + 9 = 3x + 9

8x + 9 = -x + 5

8x + 9 = 0

The third equation:

3x + 9 + 4x + x = ??

can be simplified as:

8x + 9 = ??

For this equation to have infinitely many solutions, the right side must be exactly equal to the left side:

8x + 9 = 8x + 9
