Based on this example, make a
generalization about the acute angles
formed when two parallel lines are
cut by a transversal.

If x + 1, x - 5, and x - 2 are in a geometric progression, then there is some constant r for which

x - 5 = r (x + 1)

==>   r = (x - 5) / (x + 1)

and

x - 2 = r (x - 5)

==>   r = (x - 2) / (x - 5)

Then

(x - 5) / (x + 1) = (x - 2) / (x - 5)

Solve for x :

(x - 5)² = (x - 2) (x + 1)

x ² - 10x + 25 = x ² - x - 2

-9x = -27

x = 3

It follows that the ratio between terms is

r = (3 - 5) / (3 + 1) = -2/4 = -1/2

Now, assuming x + 1 = 4 is the first term of the G.P., the n-th term a(n) is given by

a(n) = 4 (-1/2)ⁿ⁻¹

The sum of the first 12 terms - denoted here by S - is then

S = 4 (-1/2)⁰ + 4 (-1/2)¹ + 4 (-1/2)² + … + 4 (-1/2)¹¹

Solve for S :

S = 4 [(-1/2)⁰ + (-1/2)¹ + (-1/2)² + … + (-1/2)¹¹]

(-1/2) S = 4 [(-1/2)¹ + (-1/2)² + (-1/2)³ + … + (-1/2)¹²]

==>   S - (-1/2) S = 4 [(-1/2)⁰ - (-1/2)¹²]

==>   3/2 S = 4 (1 - 1/4096)

==>   S = 8/3 (1 - 1/4096)

==>   S = 1365/512

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find a equation that is where the domain is all real numbers and the range is all real numbers greater than -3

A is right, the domain of a absolute value function is all real numbers. The range of a absolute value is all numbers greater than or equal to zero but if we subtract 3, it changes into all real numbers greater than or equal to -3

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In the US, a decimal point is represented by a period. This value is interpreted as an integer with no fractional part, so the fractional part is zero:

 12,963.00

__

Some other places, a comma is used to identify the beginning of the decimal fraction. In that form, this number has a fractional part that has 3 as its thousandths digit. The value of 3 is less than 5, so the number is simply truncated at the hundredths place.

  12,96

If the thousandths digit were 5 or greater, then 1 hundredth would be added to the truncated number.

Answer:

X=1

f(x)=16^1

=16

X=2

f(x)=16^2

256

X=3

f(x)=16^3

=4096

X=4

f(x)=16^4

=65536

Here are four different ways to rewrite the function f(x) = 16^x, using a different base for each case:

Using base 2:

f(x) = (2^4)^x = 2^(4x)

Using base 3:

f(x) = (3^2)^x = 3^(2x)

Using base 10:

f(x) = (10^(log10(16)))^x = 10^(log10(16) * x)

Using base e (natural logarithm):

f(x) = (e^(ln(16)))^x = e^(ln(16) * x)

In these rewritten forms, the exponentiation of the base is expressed as a simpler expression.

This involves the new base, which helps to illustrate the relationship between the original function and the different bases used.

Answer:

9/10

Step-by-step explanation:

The first two digit number is 10 and the last is 99. That's a total of 99-10+1 numbers in all. That simplifies to 90. (Just like if we wanted to see how many numbers was 3,4,5, we would do 5-3+1=3 to get the total number.

Anyways, let's consider first how many 2 digjt numbers whose digits are equal. You have 11 22,33,44 55,66,77,88,99 which is 9 numbers total.

So the amount of 2 digits number whose digits differ is 90-9=81.

The probability that a 2 digit number have different digits is 81/90.

This can reduce. Divide top and bottom by 9 giving 9/10.

11/20 = 55/100 = 55%

If f(x) = 7/(1 + x), then

f (2) = 7/3

f '(x) = -7/(x + 1)²   ==>   f ' (2) = -7/9

f ''(x) = 14/(x + 1)³   ==>   f '' (2) = 14/27

f '''(x) = -42/(x + 1)⁴   ==>   f ''' (2) = -14/27

Then the Taylor series of f(x) about a = 2 is

7/3 + 1/1! (-7/9) (x - 2) + 1/2! (14/27) (x - 2)² + 1/3! (-14/27) (x - 2)³

= 7/3 - 7/9 (x - 2) + 7/27 (x - 2)² - 7/81 (x - 2)³

Answer:

The answers to your questions are given below.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. m∠1 and m∠2 are complementary. This statement was given from the question.

2. m∠1 + m∠2 = 90°. Complementary angles add up to give 90°.

3. m∠2 = 74°. This was given in the question.

4. m∠1 + 74 = 90°. Since m∠1 and m∠2 are complementary. Their sum will add up to give 90°

5. m∠1 = 16°

We can prove m∠1 = 16° as shown below:

m∠1 + m∠2 = 90° (complementary angles)

m∠2 = 74°

m∠1 + 74 = 90°

Collect like terms

m∠1 = 90 – 74

m∠1 = 16°

Answer:

10 and 16, x+(x+6)=26

Step-by-step explanation:

Michelle has an age we don't know, so we put her age as x.

Yogi is 6 years older than her, so her age is x+6

Michelle=x

Yogi=x+6

we know both their ages equal 26. so we set it up as

x+(x+6)=26

combining like terms we get

2x+6=26

subtract 6 from both sides

2x=20

divide both sides by 2

x=10

now that we have the value for x, we plug it into their original ages

Michelle is 10, because her age is just x.

Yogi is 16, because her age is x+6

Answer:

A. the change in wind speed for every 1 kPa increase in air pressure

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a straight line is given by:

y = mx + b;

where y, x are variables, m is the slope (rate of change) of the line and b is the y intercept (value of y when x = 0)

Given the line y=−1.22x+1250 where x is the air pressure in millibars (kPa) and y is the wind speed in knots.

The slope of the line is -1.22. The slope means that there is a decrease in wind speed by 1.22 miles per hour for every increase of 1 kPa in air pressure.

Answer:

The domain and range remain the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

First, we must determine what increasing a by 2 really does to the exponential function.

In f(x)=ab^x, a represents the initial value (y-intercept) of the function while b represents the common ratio for each consecutive value of f(x).

Increasing a by 2 means moving the y-intercept of the function up by 2. If the original function contained the point (0,x), the new function would contain the point (0,x+2).

The domain remains the same; it is still the set of all real x-values. This is true for any exponential function, regardless of any transformations.

The range remains the same as well; for the original function, it would have been [tex]y\neq 0[/tex]. Because increasing a by 2 does not move the entire function up or down, the range remains the same.

I hope this helps!
