Answer:

a(n)= 1/2 * (-8) n-1

Step-by-step explanation:

In a geometric sequence, the ratio between successive terms is constant. This means that we can move from any term to the next one by multiplying by a constant value. Let's calculate this ratio over the first few terms:

\dfrac{-256}{32}=\dfrac{32}{-4}=\dfrac{-4}{\frac12}=\blue{-8}

We see that the constant ratio between successive terms is \blue{-8}−8start color #6495ed, minus, 8, end color #6495ed. In other words, we can find any term by starting with the first term and multiplying by \blue{-8}−8start color #6495ed, minus, 8, end color #6495ed repeatedly until we get to the desired term.

Let's look at the first few terms expressed as products:

We can see that every term is the product of the first term, \red{\dfrac12}

​

start color #df0030, start fraction, 1, divided by, 2, end fraction, end color #df0030, and a power of the constant ratio, \blue{-8}−8start color #6495ed, minus, 8, end color #6495ed. Note that this power is always one less than the term number nnn. This is because the first term is the product of itself and plainly 111, which is like taking the constant ratio to the zeroth power.

Thus, we arrive at the following explicit formula (Note that \red{\dfrac12}

​

start color #df0030, start fraction, 1, divided by, 2, end fraction, end color #df0030 is the first term and \blue{-8}−8start color #6495ed, minus, 8, end color #6495ed is the constant ratio):

a(n)=\red{\dfrac12}\cdot\left(\blue{-8}\right)^{\large{\,n-1}}a(n)=

a, left parenthesis, n, right parenthesis, equals, start color #df0030, start fraction, 1, divided by, 2, end fraction, end color #df0030, dot, left parenthesis, start color #6495ed, minus, 8, end color #6495ed, right parenthesis, start superscript, n, minus, 1, end superscript

Note that this solution strategy results in this formula; however, an equally correct solution can be written in other equivalent forms as well.

The probability of a red on this spinner would be 1/4.

Used the concept of probability that states,

The term probability refers to the likelihood of an event occurring. Probability means possibility.

Given that,

A spinner is shown in the image.

Since there are a total of 8 parts with different colors.

And, the number of red colors on this spinner is 2.

Hence, the probability of a red on this spinner would be,

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 156 natural numbers between 97 and 256.

Natural numbers are defined as refer to a set of all the whole numbers excluding 0. We generally utilize these numbers in our speech and daily activities. Everywhere we look, numbers are used to count things, represent or exchange money, measure temperature, tell the time, etc. These numbers that are used for counting objects are called 'natural numbers'. For example, while counting objects 5 pencils.

Given data as :

The natural numbers are 97 and 256

To determine the numbers between the following, firstly subtract them and then subtract 2 to it.

97 and 256

⇒ 256 - 97

⇒ 158

Substract 2 from it.

= 158 -2

Given:

Volume of a sphere is [tex]\dfrac{28}{3}[/tex] times the surface area.

To find:

The surface area and the volume of the sphere.

Solution:

Volume of a sphere:

[tex]V=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3[/tex]              ...(i)

Surface area of a sphere:

[tex]A=4\pi r^2[/tex]                      ...(ii)

Where, r is the radius of the sphere.

Volume of a sphere is [tex]\dfrac{28}{3}[/tex] times the surface area.

[tex]V=\dfrac{28}{3}\times A[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3=\dfrac{28}{3}\times 4\pi r^2[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 3.

[tex]4\pi r^3=112\pi r^2[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{\pi r^3}{\pi r^2}=\dfrac{112}{4}[/tex]

[tex]r=28[/tex]

Using (i), the volume of the sphere is:

[tex]V=\dfrac{4}{3}\times \dfrac{22}{7}\times (28)^3[/tex]

[tex]V\approx 91989[/tex]

Using (ii), the surface area of the sphere is:

[tex]A=4\times \dfrac{22}{7}\times (28)^2[/tex]

[tex]A=9856[/tex]

Therefore, the surface area of the sphere is 9856 sq. units and the volume of the sphere is 91989 cubic units.

Answer:

7/3 = 7 ÷  7 ÷ 3/7 (i think)

Step-by-step explanation:

check mathpapa.com

https://www.mathpapa.com/algebra-calculator.html

To be honest, I don't think it has anything to do with the exponent part at all. Instead, I think it has to do with the fact that integers are inherently easier to grasp compared to fractions (which is exactly what rational numbers are).

For instance, it's much easier to say 2+3 = 5 than it is to say 1/2 + 1/4 = 3/4

So going back to the exponent example, it's easier to say

x^2*x^3 = x^(2+3) = x^5

than it is to say

x^(1/2)*x^(1/4) = x^(1/2+1/4) = x^(3/4)

So that's my opinion as to why rational exponents are more tricky to grasp compared to integer exponents. Of course, everyone learns math differently so maybe some find fractions easier than others.

Answer:

x=10, y=-6

Step-by-step explanation:

1) express x from the first equation x+y=4 x=4-y

2) It is the system of equations, so both equations are simultaneous.

you can replace x to 4-y in the second one

8-2y+3y= 2

y=-6

x= 4-y=4-(-6)=10

Answer:

5, 12, 13

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the longer leg then x + 1 is the hypotenuse and x - 7 the shorter leg

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle

x² + (x - 7)² = (x + 1)² ← expand using FOIL

x² + x² - 14x + 49 = x² + 2x + 1

2x² - 14x + 49 = x² + 2x + 1 ( subtract x² + 2x + 1 from both sides )

x² - 16x + 48 = 0 ← in standard form

(x - 4)(x - 12) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4

x - 12 = 0 ⇒ x = 12

x = 4 , then x - 7 = 4 - 7 = - 3 ← not possible

x = 12, then x - 7 = 12 - 7 = 5 and x + 1 = 12 + 1 = 13

The lengths of the 3 sides are

longer leg = 12 m , shorter leg = 5 m and hypotenuse = 13 m

Rate of change of distance is also known as speed.

Given,

Distance (s) = 400km = 400 × 1000m = 400,000m

Time (t) = 10h = 10 × 3600s = 36,000s

We know that,

Speed (v) = Distance/Time

[tex]=> v = \frac{s}{t} \\ => v = \frac{400000m}{36000s} \\ => v = \frac{400m}{36s} \\ => v = \frac{100m}{9s} \\ => v = \frac{100}{9}m {s}^{ - 2} \\ [/tex]

A heron can travel an average of 400 km in 10 hours. Then the rate of change of distance that is speed is [tex]11.12 ms^{-2}[/tex].

Distance is a measurement of how far apart two things or locations are, either quantitatively or occasionally qualitatively. Distance in physics or common language can refer to a physical length or an estimate based on other factors.

The term is frequently used metaphorically to refer to a measurement of the amount of difference between two similar objects, or a degree of separation as exemplified by distance between people in a social network.

The concept of a metric space is used in mathematics to formalize the majority of such concepts of distance, both literal and figurative.

[tex]Distance (s) = 400km \\= 400 \times 1000m \\= 400,000mTime (t) = 10h \\= 10 \times 3600s \\= 36,000s\\\\Speed = Distance / Time\\= 400000 / 36000\\= 11.12 ms^{-2}[/tex]

Therefore, the rate of change of distance that is speed is [tex]11.12 ms^{-2}[/tex].

Answer:

The polar coordinates appear in the form (r, θ), where r is the the radius from the center and θ is the angle. To get the radius, do the following.

[tex]r = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2} = \sqrt{1^2 + (-1)^2} = \sqrt{2}\\[/tex]

You can get the angle visually by drawing a point (1, -1) on a graph and seeing that it is 45 degrees from the top right quadrant (you can tell its 45 because both x and y have the same magnitude). Since there are 360 degrees, 360 - 45 = 315.

If you would like to find it mathematically, this is the way to do it

[tex]\theta = atan(y/x) = -45[/tex]

Notice that -45 degrees is just 360 - 45 = 315

Your answer would be

Answer:

36 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

equilateral means all sides are equally long.

a triangle has 3 sides.

in our case they are all equally long.

and their sum (all 3 sides together) is the perimeter

P = 18 = 3 × side length

side length = 18/3 = 6 ft

a square with the same side length (6) had then an area of

side length × side length = 6×6 = 6² = 36 ft²

it is important to remember : a length is measured e.g. in feet (ft). an area is then meshed in square-feet (ft²). it is important to add this to the calculated numbers to express the right dimension of these numbers.
