The first four terms of the given sequence are 18, 10, 6, and 4 respectively.

A sequence is an ordered list object which related and connected by a common value.

There are many sequences. They are Arithmetic sequence, Geometric sequence, and so on.

It is given that,

The first term of the sequence is a1 = 18

And the terms of the sequence are related by,

a(n + 1) = (2 + an)/2

For n = 1;

a(1 + 1) = (2 + a1)/2

⇒ a2 = (2 + 18)/2 = 10

For n = 2;

a(2 + 1) = (2 + a2)/2

⇒ a3 = (2 + 10)/2 = 6

For n = 3;

a(3 + 1) = (2 + a3)/2

⇒ a4 = (2 + 6)/2 = 4

Thus, the first four terms of the given sequence are a1 = 18, a2 = 10, a3 = 6, and a4 = 4.

Given:

Two fractions

[tex]\dfrac{1}6 \\and\\\dfrac{3}8[/tex]

To find:

Number that can be chosen as Common denominator such that numerator is also a whole number ?

Solution:

Common denominator for two fractions [tex]\frac{p}{q}[/tex] and [tex]\frac{r}{s}[/tex] is chosen as LCM or multiple of LCM of (q, s).

OR

Common denominator for two fractions is chosen as the Least Common Multiple or multiple of LCM of denominators of the two fractions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a circle = πr²

where

r is the radius

From the question

Area = 6.76 cm²

To find the radius substitute the value of the area into the above formula and solve for the radius

That's

[tex]6.76 = \pi \: {r}^{2} [/tex]

Divide both sides by π

We have

[tex] {r}^{2} = \frac{6.76}{\pi} \\ r = \sqrt{ \frac{6.76}{\pi} } [/tex]

r = 1.46689291

We have the final answer as

radius = 1.47 cm

Answer:

The lateral area of the figure = 480 m²

The surface area = 720 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, we have;

The lateral area is the area of the vertically facing sides of or the area of the triangular faces of a pyramid

The surface area is the area of the entire surface = Lateral area + The other surface areas of the object

For a pyramid, the surface area =   Lateral area  + Area of base

The figure in the question is a pentagon based pyramid with five triangles on the sides

The lateral area of the figure = 5 × area of the 5 triangles = 5 × Base × Height

The lateral area of the figure = 5 × 12 × 8 = 480 m²

The lateral area of the figure = 480 m²

The surface area = Area of the base + Lateral surface area

Area of the regular pentagon base = 1/2 × Perimeter of the pentagon × Apothem

Perimeter of the pentagon = 5 × 12 = 60 m

Apothem = Perpendicular distance from the pentagon's side to the center = 8.3 m

∴ Area of the regular pentagon base = 1/2 × 60 × 8 = 240 m²

∴ The surface area = 240 +480 =720 m²

The surface area = 720 m²

Answer:

The probability it will land on green every time is [tex]\frac{1}{27}[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a spinner is used for which it is equally probable that the pointer will land on any one of six regions. Three of the regions are colored red, two are colored green, and one is colored yellow.

The pointer is spun three times.

As we know that the probability of an event is described as;

  Probability of an event =  [tex]\frac{\text{Favorable number of outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}[/tex]

Here, the favorable outcome is that the spinner will land on green every time.

So, the number of green regions = 2

Total number of regions = 3(red) + 2(green) + 1(yellow) = 6 regions

Now, the probability it will land on green every time is given by;

        Probability =  [tex]\frac{2}{6}\times \frac{2}{6}\times \frac{2}{6}[/tex]

                           =  [tex]\frac{1}{3}\times \frac{1}{3}\times \frac{1}{3}[/tex]

                           =  [tex]\frac{1}{27}[/tex]

Hence, the probability it will land on green every time is [tex]\frac{1}{27}[/tex].

Using the concept of probability, the probability of landing on green for all 3 spins is [tex] \frac{1}{27}[/tex]

Total number of portions = (3 + 2 + 1) = 6

Recall :

I have to return 400 notebooks.

Here, we have,

given that,

I order 700 notebooks by accident. I only need 3⁄7 of my order.

To determine how many notebooks you need to return, you can calculate 4/7 of your order, which represents the portion you don't need.

Let's calculate it step by step:

Calculate the number of notebooks you don't need:

4/7 * 700 = 400

we have,

I only need 3⁄7 of my order.

so, i need = 3/7 * 700

                = 300

Subtract the number of notebooks you need from the total order to find the number of notebooks you should return:

700 - 300 = 400

Therefore, you should return 400 notebooks.

Answer:

The number of citizens who chose cat or fish is 47,600

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Number of citizens = 140,000

Required

Determine the number of those that chose fish or cats

First, we need to calculate the percentage of those whose pets are either cats or fish

[tex]Percentage = Cat + Fish[/tex]

Substitute 23% for cat and 11% for fish

[tex]Percentage = 23\% + 11\%[/tex]

[tex]Percentage = 34\%[/tex]

Next, is to multiply the calculated percentage by the number of citizens

[tex]Cat\ or\ Fish = Percentage * Number\ of\ Citizens[/tex]

[tex]Cat\ or\ Fish = 34\% * 140000[/tex]

[tex]Cat\ or\ fish = 47600[/tex]

Hence, the number of citizens who chose cat or fish is 47,600

the number of citizens who chose cat or fish is 47,600

= Number of citizens × total percentage

[tex]= 140,000 \times (23\% + 11\%)\\\\= 140,000 \times 34\%[/tex]

= 47,600

Answer:

The height of the triangular base of the pyramid is s√3/2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Here in this question, what we are concerned with is to calculate the height of the equilateral-triangle base of the oblique pyramid.

From the question, we are told that the equilateral triangle has a length of a units.

Let’s have a recall on some of the properties of equilateral triangles;

a. All sides are of equal lengths. Meaning side s is the length of all the sides in this case.

b. All angles are equal, meaning they are 60 degree each.

c. Dropping a perpendicular line from the top vertex to the base length will split the equilateral triangle into two right-angled triangles of angles 60 and 30 each.

So to find the height of this triangular base, we can use any of the two right angled triangles.

Kindly recall that the properties of each would be angles 30, 60 and side length s

so to calculate the height h, we can use trigonometric identities

Mathematically, the trigonometric identity we can use is the sine( side length s represents the hypotenuse, while the height h represents the opposite facing the angle 60 degrees)

Thus; we have

Sine of an angle = length of the opposite/length of hypotenuse

sin 60 = h/s

h = s sin 60

In surd form,

sin 60 = √3/2

Thus;

h = s * √3/2 = s√3/2 units

Answer:

Quadrilateral ABCD is a SQUARE

Step-by-step explanation:

When we are given coordinates (x1, x2) and (y1 , y2) for a Quadrilateral, we solve for the sides using this formula.

√(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²

A (3, 1), B (4, 4), C (7, 5), D (6, 2)

Side AB = A (3, 1), B (4, 4)

√(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²

= √(4 - 3)² + (4 - 1)²

= √1² + 3²

= √1 + 9

= √10

Side BC = B (4, 4), C (7, 5)

√(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²

= √(7 - 4)² + (5 - 4)²

= √3² + 1²

= √9 + 1

= √10

Side CD = C (7, 5), D (6, 2)

√(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²

= √(6 - 7)² + (2 - 5)²

= √(-1) ² + (-3)²

= √1 + 9

= √10

Side AD = A (3, 1), D (6, 2)

√(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²

= √(6 - 3)² + (2 - 1)²

= √3² + 1²

= √9 + 1

= √10

From the above calculation,

Side AB = √10

Side BC = √10

Side CD = √10

Side AD = √10

Hence, AB = BC = CD = AD

When all the side of a Quadrilateral are the same or equal to each other, it means the Quadrilateral is a square.

Therefore, Quadrilateral ABCD is a SQUARE

Step-by-step explanation:

Brenda's expected annual increase in salary is ...

  $63,292 -45,258 = $18,034

If we assume that Brenda's cost of education includes going without 2 years' salary as well as the cost of tuition, her degree's total cost will be ...

  2×$45,258 +15,000 = $105,516

__

Once Brenda starts earning again, she is recovering this cost at the rate of $18,034 per year, so it will take ...

  $105,516/($18,034 /yr) = 5.85 yr

to recover that cost.

Since Brenda spent 2 years in school, from the time she decides to start school until she has recovered her cost, it will be 2 + 5.85 = 7.85 years, almost 8 years.

If Brenda can continue working while going to school, she can recover her tuition cost in about 10 months after graduation.
