find the third term of the geometric sequence when a1 = 1/4 and r=-2

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

(-2)(1/4)=-1/2

(-2)(-1/2)

=1

Answer 2

the third term of the geometric sequence with first term = 1/4 and common ratio r = -2 is 1

We have a geometric sequence in which the first term is [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] and the common ratio is -2.

We have to find the third term of this geometric sequence.

What is the formula to find the [tex]n^{th}[/tex] term of a geometric sequence?

The formula to find the [tex]n^{th}[/tex] term of a geometric sequence with first term [tex]a_{1}[/tex] and common ratio r is -

[tex]a_{n} =a_{1} r^{n-1}[/tex]

In our question, [tex]a_{1}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]  and r = -2 and n =3.

Substituting the values, we get -

[tex]a_{3} =\frac{1}{4}(-2)^{3-1} = \frac{1}{4} (-2)^{2} =\frac{1}{4}\times4=1[/tex]

Hence, the third term of the geometric sequence with first term = 1/4 and common ratio r = -2 is 1.

Answer:

(a) ∠EFH =  68°

(b) ∠EGF = 21°

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The given parameters are;

The diameter of the circle = Segment [tex]\overline{EG}[/tex]

Arc [tex]m\widehat{FG}[/tex] = 138°

∠GFH = 22°

∠ EFG = (Angle subtended by the diameter EG at the center)

Arc mEG = 180° (Arc subtended by the diameter of a circle = 180°)

∠ EFG is subtended by the diameter EG at the center

∴ ∠ EFG = 90° (Angle at the center = 2 times angle at the circumference)

∠EFG = ∠EFH + ∠GFH  (Angle addition postulate)

∴ ∠EFH = ∠EFG - ∠GFH = 90° - 22° = 68°

∠EFH =  68°

(b) ∠EGF

Arc GH = 44°

Arc mFE + Arc [tex]m\widehat{FG}[/tex] + Arc mEHG = 360 (Sum of angles at the center of a circle)

Arc mFE = 360 - ( Arc [tex]m\widehat{FG}[/tex] + Arc mEHG )

Arc mFE  =  360 - 180 - 138 = 42°

∠EGF = Arc mFE/2 (Angle at the center = 2 times angle at the circumference)

∠EGF = 42/2 = 21°

∠EGF = 21°

At 11,560 feet above sea level, Climax, Colorado, is the highest town in the united States. The lowest town in Calipatria, California, at 185 feet below sea level. Express both of these distance as integers and tell which is closer to sea level. How much closer to sea level is the town that is closer?

Answers

Answer:

Climax:  11,560. Calipatria: 185 Calipatra is closer by 11,375ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Climax is 11,560ft above sea level, which means it is 11,560ft away from sea level. Calipatria 185ft away from sea level by the same logic. The one whih is closer to sea level would be the smaller number, which would be 185, and how much closer would be 11,560-185= 11,560.

If you're wondering why the 185 isn't negative, it's because the question is asking how far away from zero the numbers are, so you would take the absolute value of -185 which would be 185.

Therefore, 212° + [tex]m(\widehat{CED})[/tex] = 360°

[tex]m(\widehat{CED})=360-212[/tex]

               = 148°

Tangent - chord theorem states,

"Angle between a chord and tangent measure the half of the angle measure of the intercepted minor arc."

m∠ACD = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(\widehat{CED})[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

$200,000 in bank A, $200,000 in bank B, $230,000 in bank C

Step-by-step explanation:

Meredith has $630,000

Limit per depositor, per bank, is $250,000

She needs to distribute her money between three Banks to guarantee that her money is insured.

A. $200,000 in bank A, $200,000 in bank B, $230,000 in bank C

It can be seen in A that her deposit per bank deposit didn't exceed the $250,000 limit in the three Banks.

B. $200,000 in bank A, $170,000 in bank B, $260,000 in bank C

Here, her deposit in bank C exceeds $250,000, so there is no guarantee for insurance in bank C

C. $160,000 in bank A, $180,000 in bank B, $290,000 in bank C

Her deposit in bank C is $290,000 which exceeds the $250,000 limit. Therefore, no guarantee for insurance of her money in bank C

D. $160,000 in bank A, $200,000 in bank B, $270,000 in bank C

you

Also, her deposit in bank C exceeds $250,000, so there is no guarantee for insurance in bank C

The way her money can be distributed between three Banks and guarantee insurance is

A. $200,000 in bank A, $200,000 in bank B, $230,000 in bank C.

That way, her deposit per bank is less than the $250,000 limit

now how much the price of those shirts were

$45 = $9 +3x

$45 - $9 = 3x

Step-by-step explanation:

Add 18 to each side

6x-18+18 =98+18

6x = 116

Divide each side by 6

6x/6 = 116/6

x =58/3

x = 19  1/3

Answer= 58/3

Step by Step

Step 1: Cross-multiply.

6*(x−3)=(7)*(14)

6x−18=98

Step 2: Add 18 to both sides.

6x−18+18=98+18

6x=116

Step 3: Divide both sides by 6.

6x /6 = 116 /6

x= 58 /3
