125, 312.5...., given that a, = 8?

(1) a, = 4,- 1 ta

(3) 4, = 4, + 1.5(, -1)

(2) a. = 2.5(

4-1) (4) 4 = (a), -1)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: a = 2.5 (an-1)

Step-by-step explanation: trust me;)

Answer 2

The function which is used to represent the geometric progression 8, 20, 50, 125, 312.5, ... is [tex]a_{n} = 8(2.5)^{n-1}[/tex].

What is geometric progression?

sequence where each succeeding term is produced by multiplying each preceding term by a fixed number, which is called a common ratio. This progression is as a geometric sequence of  numbers.

Formula for nth term of geometric progression

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

Where,

[tex]a_{n}[/tex] is the nth term of the sequence or geometric progression

n is the total number of terms

r is the common ratio

and a is the first term

According to the given question

We have

A geometric progression

8, 20, 50, 125, 312.5

Now the common ratio for the above progression is given by

[tex]r = \frac{20}{8} = 2.5[/tex]

And the first term is

a = 8

Therefore, the function which is used to represent the above sequence is given by

[tex]a_{n} = 8(2.5)^{n-1}[/tex]

Hence, the function which is used to represent the geometric progression 8, 20, 50, 125, 312.5, ... is [tex]a_{n} = 8(2.5)^{n-1}[/tex].

Benjamin has a ladder that is 15 ft long. He wants to lean the ladder against a vertical wall so that the top of the ladder is 13.8 ft above the ground. What is the angle, rounded to the nearest tenth, that the ladder makes with the ground? Show your work
2. What is the length of side YZ to the nearest tenth? Show your work.
side XY is 11 feet, and angle Z is 35 degrees(this is a right triangle)



3. What are the exact measures of the other two sides of the triangle? Use special right triangles ratios and show your work.
Side AC is 14 feet, this is a right triangle, and angle A is 30 degrees

Answers

The special right triangle is the right triangle that have acute angle values

that simplify the process of finding its dimensions.

The correct values are;

1. The angle the ladder makes with the ground, is approximately 66.93°

2. The length of YZ is approximately 19.18 ft.

3. CB = 7 ft. and AB = 7·√3 ft.

Reasons:

1. The length of the ladder = 15 ft.

Height of the ladder above the ground, h = 13.8 ft.

Required:

The angle the ladder makes with the ground.

Solution:

The angle the ladder makes with the ground is given by the equation;

[tex]sin(\theta) = \dfrac{Length \ of \ the \ ladder}{Height\ of \ the \ ladder \ above the \ ground} = \dfrac{13.8}{15} = 0.92[/tex]

[tex]\theta = arcsin\left(0.92 \right) \approx 66.93^{\circ}[/tex]

2. The given parameters are;

XY = 11

∠Z = 35°

YZ = Required

In a right triangle, the side facing the acute angle is a leg of the triangle.

Therefore;

XY is the opposite side to ∠Z

[tex]sin(\angle Z) = \dfrac{XY}{YZ}[/tex]

Which gives;

[tex]sin(35^{\circ}) = \dfrac{11}{YZ}[/tex]

[tex]YZ= \dfrac{11}{sin(35^{\circ}) } \approx 19.18[/tex]

YZ ≈ 19.18 ft.

3. AC = 14 ft.

∠A = 30

Required:

The length of the other two sides

Solution:

Where by AC is the hypotenuse side, we have;

CB = AC × sin(∠A)

Therefore;

CB = 14 × sin(30°) = 7

CB = 7 ft.

AB =  AC × cos(∠A) = 14 × cos(30°) = 7·√3

Elizabeth bought lemons (l) and apples (a). Each apple costs 35¢ and each lemon costs 15¢. All together, she bought 17 lemons and apples for $3.95. Which system can be used to determine how many of each she bought?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Lemons - l and apples - aa = 35¢, l = 15¢Number of apples and lemons = 17Cost of lemons and apples = $3.95 = 395¢

System as per question:

a + l = 1735a + 15l = 395

Or

a + l = 170.35a + 0.15l = 3.95

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of apples be a and lemons be l . Then ,

=> a + l = 17

John earned $12 a day for babysitting his siblings after school each weekday (he did not babysit on weekends). He liked to have a small amount of money to spend on treats at the school canteen that his parents refuse to buy, but he also wanted to build up some savings. John decided to put a fraction of his earnings into a jar straight away. He spent all the rest on canteen treats.


How much money did John earn over a nine week term?

After 9 weeks, John had $378 in his jar. What percentage of his money did he save?

Answers

Answer:

He earns $540

70% of his money went to savings

Step-by-step explanation:

9 weeks x 5 days a week = 45 days

45 days x $12 a day = $540

378 * 100 / 540 =  (378*100) / 540 =  37800/540 = %70

What is the surface area of the cylinder with height 8 km and radius 4 km? Round
your answer to the nearest thousandth.

Answers

The solution is: the surface area of the cylinder is 301.44 km².

Here, we have,

from the given diagram, we get,

For surface area of a cylinder:

A = 2(π) × (radius) × (height) + 2(π)×(radius squared)

For the first half of that equation:

2(π) × (radius) × (height)

2 × (3.14) × (4) × (8)

= 200.96 km²

Now the second half of that equation, the area of the circle ends:

2(π)×(radius squared)

= 2 × (3.14) × (4) × (4)

= 100.48 km²

Add them up:

200.96 km² + 100.48 km² = 301.44 km²

Hence, The solution is: the surface area of the cylinder is 301.44 km².

How would you find the intercept for the equation y^2=2-3x-2x^2? I need the steps to understand

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

x-intercepts: -2, +1/2y-intercepts: ±√2

Step-by-step explanation:

You always find the intercepts by setting the known coordinate to its known value and solving for the value of the unknown coordinate.

An x-intercept is always found on the line y=0. Setting y=0 and solving for x, we find ...

  0 = 2 -3x -2x^2

  x^2 +3/2x -1 = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by -2

  (x2^2 +3/2x +(3/4)^2) -1 -(3/4)^2 = 0 . . . . . complete the square

  (x +3/4)^2 = 25/16 . . . . . add 25/16 and write as a square

  x +3/4 = ±5/4 . . . . . . . take the square root

  x = -3/4 ±5/4 = -8/4, +2/4

The x-intercepts are -2 and +1/2.

__

A y-intercept is always found on the line x=0. Setting x=0 and solving for y, we find ...

  y^2 = 2 -0 -0

  y = ±√2

The y-intercepts are -√2 and +√2.
