If x-6,x-2 and x+10 are three consecutive terms of a geometric progression,find the value of x​

Answers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the common ratio be r

(x-6)r=(x-2)

(x-2)r=(x+10)

r = (x-2)/(x-6)

and r = (x+10)/(x-2)

so, (x-2)/(x-6)=(x+10)/(x-2)

sloving it, you'll get x=8

so the value of x is 8

Answers

Answer:

23

Step-by-step explanation:

6-(-2)-3(-5)

you first have to multiply the signs

a negative×a negative is a positive.positive times negative is negative, positive times positive is positive.

so for this question

6+2+15

23

I hope this helps

23 is the answer

Explanation:
6-(-2)= 8 because negative and negative becomes positive so we add them.
-3(-5) = 15 because we have to multiply -3 by -5 which is 15 because when we multiply 2 negative numbers we get a positive
Now:
15 + 8 = 23

Step-by-step explanation:

With like denominators we can add the numerators.

6 + 9 = 15.

Then that answer over the denominator which gives us 15/10. Then simplifying the answer.

That gives us: 3/2 = 1 1/2

Answers

Answer:

XY = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

In similar triangles, the corresponding sides are in same ratio.

[tex]\frac{AC}{XZ}=\frac{AB}{XY}\\\\\frac{x+6}{30}=\frac{16}{2x-4}[/tex]

Cross multiply,

(x + 6 )(2x-4) = 16*30

Use FOIL method

x*2x + x*(-4) + 6*2x + 6*(-4) = 480

2x² - 4x + 12x - 24 = 480  {Combine like terms}

2x² + 8x - 24 = 480

2x² + 8x - 24 - 480 = 0

2x² + 8x - 504 = 0

Divide the entire equation by 2

x² + 4x - 252 = 0

Sum = 4

Product = -252

Factors = 18 , -14   {18 +(-14) = 4  & 18*(-14) = -254 }

x² + 4x - 252 = 0

x² + 18x - 14x - 252 = 0  {Rewrite middle term}

x(x + 18) - 14(x + 18) = 0

(x + 18)(x - 14) = 0

x - 14 = 0           {Ignore x + 18 = 0 as measurement will not come in negative}

x = 14

XY  = 2x - 4

    = 2*14 -4

     = 28 - 4

       = 24

Solve the system by substitution.
y = -3x + 17
2x + 3y = -5

Answers

Answer:

(8, -7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given this system:

y=-3x+17

2x+3y=5

And we want to solve the system

Let's solve it by substitution.

In the first equation, we are given y=-3x+17, which we can substitute -3x+17 as y into the second equation

2x+3(-3x+17)=5

Now do the distributive property

2x+-9x+51=-5

Combine like terms

-7x+51=-5

Subtract 51 from both sides

-7x=-56

Divide both sides by -7

x=8

Now substitute 8 as the value of x in y=-3x+17 to find the value of y

y=-3(8)+17

y=-24+17

y=-7

The answer is x=8, y=-7. If you need it as a point, it's (8, -7)

Hope this helps!

(b) Work out the probability Jennifer hits the Bullseye at least once.


Can someone work this out for me ?

Answers

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Filling out the tree diagram,

On the first throw, there is a 4/4 = 100%* chance Jennifer hits or misses. Therefore, the chance she misses is equal to the difference between

(chance she hits or misses) - (chance she hits) = 4/4 - 1/4 = 3/4

For the second throw, the chance she hits is independent of whether she hits or misses on the first throw. This means that it does not matter whether she hits or misses on the first throw; her chance to hit the second throw will always be 1/3. Therefore, 1/3 can go into the hit category on each hit line on the second throw, and in the miss category, we can put

100% - 1/3 = 1 - 1/3 = 3/3 - 1/3 = 2/3

For Jennifer to hit the bullseye at least once, she must either:

- Hit and then hit

- Hit and then miss

- Miss and then hit

From this, we can determine that if Jennifer hits the first bullseye, she will have hit it at least once, no matter what. Therefore, Jennifer must either:

- Hit the first one

- Miss and then hit

In probability, OR /either means that we add the probabilties. The probability that she hits the first one is 1/4, and the probability that she misses and then hits is

(probability she misses the 1st one) * (probability she hits the second one). We know to multiply here because both scenarios must happen, and for AND probabilities, we multiply. We thus have

(3/4) * (1/3) = 3/12 = 1/4 as the probabilty that she misses then hits, and 1/4 as the probability that she hits the first one. We add these up to get 1/4 + 1/4 = 2/4 = 1/2 as our probability that she hits the bullseye at least once

* we know 4/4 = 100% because 100% = 1, and anything divided by itself is equal to 1.

This problem deals with the correct order of operations. Multiplication is done before addition.

44 + 6 = X

X = 50

Jocelyn was attempting to find out how much she will be charged per download. She has the fraction upside down. To find the amount of money per download, the fraction should be $12/3downloads to get $4/1download. That is the slope of the equation, the rate of change or, for us, the fact that your cost will go up $4 for every single video you download. The equation would then be

y = 4x

The way she has it, we are paying only a quarter for a download. If that be the case, for 3 downloads we would only be paying .75, but it says we pay $12, so we know something is wrong right there.

D. 15(cos85° + i sin85°)

Answers

Answer:  Choice D

15(cos85° + i sin85°)

===========================================================

Explanation:

Let's say we had these two general complex numbers, which are in polar form.

[tex]z_1 = r_1*\left(\cos(\theta_1)+i*\sin(\theta_1)\right)\\\\z_2 = r_2*\left(\cos(\theta_2)+i*\sin(\theta_2)\right)\\\\[/tex]

We can abbreviate them into the shorthand form

[tex]z_1 = r_1*\text{cis}(\theta_1)\\\\z_2 = r_2*\text{cis}(\theta_2)\\\\[/tex]

The notation "cis" stands for "cosine i sine".

Now that we have those complex numbers set up, multiplying them is as simple as saying this:

[tex]z_1*z_2 = (r_1*r_2)*\text{cis}(\theta_1+\theta_2)[/tex]

We do two basic things:

Multiply the r values out frontAdd the theta values inside the the cis function

---------------------------------------

With all that in mind, let's tackle the problem your teacher gave you.

The given complex numbers

[tex]z_1 = 5*\left(\cos(15^{\circ})+i*\sin(15^{\circ})\right)\\\\z_2 = 3*\left(\cos(70^{\circ})+i*\sin(70^{\circ})\right)\\\\[/tex]

abbreviate into

[tex]z_1 = 5*\text{cis}(15^{\circ})\\\\z_2 = 3*\text{cis}(70^{\circ})\\\\[/tex]

then those multiply to

[tex]z_1*z_2 = (r_1*r_2)*\text{cis}(\theta_1+\theta_2)\\\\z_1*z_2 = (5*3)*\text{cis}(15+70)\\\\z_1*z_2 = 15\text{cis}(85^{\circ})\\\\z_1*z_2 = 15\left(\cos(85^{\circ})+i\sin(85^{\circ})\right)\\\\[/tex]

which is why choice D is the final answer.
