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

Erica’s family is moving away from California. They decided to have a moving sale and sell each item for 70% off the price they originally paid for it. The sofa had an original price of $799, and the love seat had an original price of $549. What is the total cost of both items after the discount?
Find the sale price by multiplying the original price by 70% then add the two prices together to get the total.
799 x 0.70 = 559.30
549 x 0.70 = 384.30
Total: 559.30 + 384.30 = $943.60

Formula-
If a set has “n” elements, then the number of subset of the given set is 2n and the number of proper subsets of the given subset is given by 2n-1. Consider an example, If set A has the elements, A = {a, b}, then the proper subset of the given subset are { }, {a}, and {b}
Symbol that can be used-
The symbol "⊆" means "is a subset of". The symbol "⊂" means "is a proper subset of".

Uche is a cartographer. He picks a scale to fit a map of India onto a page of an atlas. The page is 121212 by 121212 inches, with 0.750.750, point, 75 inch margins on all 444 sides. India measures 3{,}2143,2143, comma, 214 kilometers from north to south and 2{,}9332,9332, comma, 933 kilometers from west to east. Uche wants the longest dimension of India to fit exactly in between the margins of the page. If kkk is the number of kilometers per inch in Uche's scale, which equation best models the situation
The scale ratio of a point A to another point B is the division of the length of B by the length of A. The best equation that models the situation is: [tex]10.5k= 3214[/tex]
The page dimension is:
[tex]Length = 12[/tex]
[tex]Width = 12[/tex]
The length and the width of Uche's book are equal; this means the pages of Uche's book have the shape of a square
The margin of 0.75 on either sided means the usable dimension is:
[tex]Length = 12 - 2 * 0.75 =10.5[/tex]
The dimension of India is:
[tex]Length = 3214[/tex]
[tex]Width =2933[/tex]
The longest side in India's dimension is:
[tex]Longest = 3214[/tex]
From Uche's book, the longest dimension is:
[tex]Longest = 10.5[/tex]
So, the scale equation is:
k * longest length of Uche's book = longest side of India
This gives:
[tex]k * 10.5 =3214[/tex]
[tex]10.5k =3214[/tex]

f (-10) = ?
Evaluate piecewise functions
Answer:
f(- 10) = 150
Step-by-step explanation:
f(- 10) with t = - 10 corresponds to t ≤ - 10 with f(t) = t² - 5t , then
f(- 10) = (- 10)² - 5(- 10) = 100 + 50 = 150
for t=-10
f(t)=t²-5tSo

rectangle? (You might want to draw a picture.)
a) Let w = the width of the rectangle. Write the equation you would use to solve this problem.
b) Now solve your equation
* cm.
The width of the rectangle must be. Cm
Part (a)
Answer: 2(2.4+w) = 14.2--------------
Explanation:
L = 2.4 = length
W = unknown width
The perimeter of any rectangle is P = 2(L+W)
We replace L with 2.4, and replace P with 14.2 to get 14.2 = 2(2.4+w) which is equivalent to 2(2.4+w) = 14.2
========================================================
Part (b)
Answer: w = 4.7--------------
Explanation:
We'll solve the equation we set up in part (a)
2(2.4+w) = 14.2
2(2.4)+2(w) = 14.2
4.8+2w = 14.2
2w = 14.2-4.8
2w = 9.4
w = 9.4/2
w = 4.7
The width must be 4.7 cm.

- Blake bought a motorcycle for $550 last year and sold it for $330 this year. What is his sale
price as a percentage of his purchase price?
Answer:
The sale price was 60% of the purchase price.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that Blake bought a motorcycle for $ 550 last year and sold it for $ 330 this year, to determine what is his sale price as a percentage of his purchase price, the following calculation must be performed:
550 = 100
330 = X
330 x 100/550 = X
33000/550 = X
60 = X
Therefore, the sale price was 60% of the purchase price.

Open the graphing tool one last time. Compare the graphs of y=log (x-k) and y=log x+k in relation to their domain, range, and asymptotes. Describe what you see.
Answer:
sorry I don't know the answer
Answer:
For the equation y=log(x-k), the domain depends on the value of K. Sliding K moves the left bound of the domain interval. The range and the right end behavior stay the same. For the equation y=log x+k, the domain is fixed, starting at an x-value of 0. The vertical asymptote is also fixed. The range of the equation depends on K.

Find the values of c such that the area of the region bounded by the parabolas y = 4x2 − c2 and y = c2 − 4x2 is 32/3. (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list.)
Answer:
-2,2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
[tex]y_1=4x^2-c^2[/tex]
[tex]y_2=c^2-4x^2[/tex]
We have to find the value of c such that the are of the region bounded by the parabolas =32/3
[tex]y_1=y_2[/tex]
[tex]4x^2-c^2=c^2-4x^2[/tex]
[tex]4x^2+4x^2=c^2+c^2[/tex]
[tex]8x^2=2c^2[/tex]
[tex]x^2=c^2/4[/tex]
[tex]x=\pm \frac{c}{2}[/tex]
Now, the area bounded by two curves
[tex]A=\int_{a}^{b}(y_2-y_1)dx[/tex]
[tex]A=\int_{-c/2}^{c/2}(c^2-4x^2-4x^2+c^2)dx[/tex]
[tex]\frac{32}{3}=\int_{-c/2}^{c/2}(2c^2-8x^2)dx[/tex]
[tex]\frac{32}{3}=2\int_{-c/2}^{c/2}(c^2-4x^2)dx[/tex]
[tex]\frac{32}{3}=2[c^2x-\frac{4}{3}x^3]^{c/2}_{-c/2}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{32}{3}=2(c^2(c/2+c/2)-4/3(c^3/8+c^3/28))[/tex]
[tex]\frac{32}{3}=2(c^3-\frac{4}{3}(\frac{c^3}{4}))[/tex]
[tex]\frac{32}{3}=2(c^3-\frac{c^3}{3})[/tex]
[tex]\frac{32}{3}=2(\frac{2}{3}c^3)[/tex]
[tex]c^3=\frac{32\times 3}{4\times 3}[/tex]
[tex]c^3=8[/tex]
[tex]c=\sqrt[3]{8}=2[/tex]
When c=2 and when c=-2 then the given parabolas gives the same answer.
Therefore, value of c=-2, 2

he following chart reports the number of cell phones sold at a big-box retail store for the last 26 days. a. What are the maximum and the minimum numbers of cell phones sold in a day? b. Using the median, what is the typical number of cell phones sold?
Answer:
Maximum = 19
Minimum = 4
Median = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
The maximum number of phone sold per day is the value to the right of the horizontal axis as the values are arranged in ascending order ; Hence, the maximum number of phones sold per day is 19
Also, the minimum number of phones sold per day is the value to the left of the plot, Hence, minimum number of phones sold per day is 14.
The Median value : 4, 9, 14, 19
The median = 1/2(n+1)th term
1/2(5)th term = 2.5 th term
Median (9 + 14) /2 = 13 /2 = 11.5 = 12 phones
