the sum of the first six terms of a G.P is 9 times the sum of the first three terms . what is the first term ?​

Answers

Answer 1

Without any more information, the first term can be any number.

Let a be the first term in the geometric progression, and let r be the common ratio between consecutive terms. Then

a + ar + ar ² + ar ³ + ar ⁴ + ar ⁵ = 9 (a + ar + ar ²)

ar ³ + ar ⁴ + ar ⁵ = 8 (a + ar + ar ²)

r ³ + r ⁴ + r ⁵ = 8 (1 + r + r ²)

r ³ (1 + r + r ²) = 8 (1 + r + r ²)

r ³ = 8

r = 2

Now with this ratio, the sum of the first six terms is

a (1 + r + r ² + r ³ + r ⁴ + r ⁵) = a (1 - r ⁶)/(1 - r) = 63a

while the sum of the first three terms is

a (1 + r + r ²) = a (1 - r ³)/(1 - r) = 7a

and of course 63a = 9 • 7a, and this is true for any a.

There is a cool trick you can do. Lets take 28 and square it.

First you round the number up. 28 rounded is 30. You rounded up by 2 (30-28=2) so you minus 2 from 28.

You are left with these two numbers, 26 and 30. Add a zero to the 26.

You now have 260 and 3 (you remove 0 on the 30 since you added it to the 26)

Then you multiply by 3.

260x3=780

Then you add the square of the number you rounded up too, which is 2.

You are left with this equation.

(2^2)+780= 784

28x28=784.

This works for numbers below 100 and integers

х
A
(10

Answers

Answer:

65 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

The image of this walking path of Cristal is missing, so i have attached it.

From the image attached, we can see that the path "x" is the hypotenuse path a the triangle.

Thus, we can use pythagoras theorem to find the area. Thus;

x² = 16² + 63²

x = √(16² + 63²)

x = √4225

x = 65 yd

Help plz 13. Mildred is flying a kite on a 30 m string. The angle of elevation of the kite measures 40 degrees,
and Mildred's hand is 2 m above the ground. About how high is the kite off the ground?
a. 21.3 m
c. 19.3 m
b. 25 m
d. 23 m

Answers

Answer: 21.3m

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the kite of the ground would be calculated as:

We have to calculate the question using a right angled triangle that has angle ACB as 90° while angle CAB will be 40°.

Therefore, the height of the kite would be:

= 30 sin 40 + 2

= 30 (0.6428 ) + 2

= 19.284 + 2

= 21.284 m

= 21.3 m

Jill would like an increase in the hourly wage she receives from the Mathematics Research Center, where she works in the mail room. Her boss gives her an equation to solve, telling her that her raise is the solution to the equation, but only if she can solve it. The equation is x 2- 6x + 9 = 0. What was the amount of her raise per hour? Answer:

Answers

Answer:

Jill will receive an increase of $3 per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

The Quadratic Equation

The quadratic equation can be represented in the standard form as:

[tex]ax^2+bx+c=0[/tex]

being a,b, and c are constants.

It can be solved by using the quadratic formula:

[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

Jill would like an increase in her hourly wage. The increase will come as the solution for a maths equation.

She must solve the equation:

[tex]x^2-6x+9=0[/tex]

The solution to the equation, or value of x, is the increase in her hourly wage.

Comparing with the general form, we have a=1, b=-6, c=9. Thus, the solutions are:

[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{-(-6)\pm \sqrt{(-6)^2-4(1)(9)}}{2(1)}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{6\pm \sqrt{36-36}}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{6\pm \sqrt{0}}{2}[/tex]

The square root is 0, therefore is only one solution:

[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{6}{2}=3[/tex]

x = 3

Thus, her raise per hour is $3.

-8 is smaller than 8

the absolute value of -4 is 4, but there is another minus, so it becomes -4.  -4 is smaller than -2

-7 is bigger than -9

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-8 < |8|

-|-4| < -2

-7 > -9

absolute value has the || sign around the number. If you see that, and there's a "minus" sign, then reverse it to a PLUS sign. Because absolute value is just how far away the number is to 0. So -8 is "8" to 0.

now if we have for example, -|-4| then it'd be -4 because |-4| is 4, but then -4 again cause there's a minus sign.

Find the 61st term of -12, -28, -44,

Answers

Answer:

[tex]a_{61}=-972[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Arithmetic Sequences

The arithmetic sequences are identified because any term n is obtained by adding or subtracting a fixed number to the previous term. That number is called the common difference.

The equation to calculate the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is:

[tex]a_n=a_1+(n-1)r[/tex]

Where

an = nth term

a1 = first term

r   = common difference

n  = number of the term

We are given the first terms of a sequence:

-12, -28, -44,...

Find the common difference by subtracting consecutive terms:

r = -28 - (-12) = -16

r = -44 - (-28) = -16

The first term is a1 = -12. Now we calculate the term n=61:

[tex]a_{61}=-12+(61-1)(-16)[/tex]

[tex]a_{61}=-12-60*16=-12-960[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{a_{61}=-972}[/tex]

Find the value of x. Will give brainliest

Answers

Answer:

x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle CAB = 33 degrees (Z-figure)

Angle ACE = 180 degrees (line), therefore angle ACB = 180 - 5x.

Sum of all angles in the triangle should equate to 180 degrees.

Now the sum is of all angles in triangle ABC is:

CAB + ABC + ACB = 33 + (180 - 5x) + 2x = 213 - 3x

So 213 - 3x should equal 180.

213 - 3x = 180 <=> -3x = -33 <=> x = 11

A university organization shows that 108 of the university's 253 assistant professors were women, along with 97 of the 301 associate professors and 78 of the 350 full professors. (a) What is the probability that a randomly chosen university professor (of any rank) is a woman

Answers

Answer:

[tex]Probability = 0.3131[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

Determine the probability of selecting a woman

The given data can be represented to show women distribution as:

-------------------------------------- Women ------------------- Total

Assistant Professors ----------- 108 ----------------------253

Associate Professors ---------97 -------------------------301

Full Professors -----------------78---------------------------350

First, we calculate the number of women

[tex]Women = 108 + 97 + 78[/tex]

[tex]Women = 283[/tex]

Next, we calculate the total number of professors

[tex]Professors = 253 + 301 + 350[/tex]

[tex]Professors = 904[/tex]

Probability of selecting women is then calculated as:

[tex]Probability = \frac{Women}{Professors}[/tex]

[tex]Probability = \frac{283}{904}[/tex]

[tex]Probability = 0.31305309734[/tex]

[tex]Probability = 0.3131[/tex] -- (approximated)
