The sum of first four terms is a G.P. is 30 and that of the last four terms is 960. if its first term is 2 find the common ratio .

Answers

Answer 1

If the sum of first four terms in a G.P. is 30 and that of the last four terms is 960, then the sum of the first 8 terms is 990

We also know that a = 2

sum of first 4 terms

= 2(r^4 - 1)(r-1) = 30

r^4 - 1 = 15r - 15

r^4 - 15r + 14 = 0

r = 1 works for the equation , but r = 1 would make all the terms of the

GP the same, so clearly not a solution

r^4 - 15r + 14 = 0 , a bit of trial and error ....

(r-1)(r - 2)(r^2 + 3r + 7) = 0

so r = 2 or r = not real

check: sum(4) = 2(2^4 - 1)/(2-1) = 30 , as needed

so r = 2 , BUT it does not work for sum(8)

sum(8) = 2(2^8 - 1)(2-1) = 510 , not 990 as necessary according to your second part of the question.

check your question.

Answers

Answer:

B, D and E

Step-by-step explanation:

The first triangle inequality theorem states:

the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must add up to more than the length of the third side.

So as long as the sum of the two shortest is greater than the longest side a triangle is possible

P is the point of intersection of the lines with equations 5x — y = 1 and x + 2y = 9
Write down the coordinates of P.

Answers

Answer:

P = (1,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

First turn both equations to slope intercept form (y=mx+b).

5x - y = 1

Subtract 5x on both sides to get -y = -5x + 1, and since we want the y to be positive simply flip all the signs to get

y = 5x - 1.

x + 2y = 9

Subtract x on both sides to get 2y = -x + 9, then divide both sides by 2 to get

y = -1/2x + 9/2.

Now you can graph the two lines and see where they intercept each other. (I graphed them above for you⤴⤴⤴).

The equation for the nth term of the arithmetic sequence is:

[tex]a_{n} = a + (n-1)d\\[/tex]

The [tex]a_{30}[/tex] is 140

Step-by-step explanation:

"a" represents the first term which is -5.

"d" represents the common difference which is 5.

To find the common difference, just subtract the 2nd and 1st term.

0 - (-5) = 5

Now put the values in the equation:

[tex]a_{n} = a + (n - 1)d\\a_{n} = (-5) + (n - 1)5[/tex]

We are finding the 30th term so just put 30 to the "n" to help us find the 30th term of the sequence.

[tex]a_{30} = -5 + (30-1)5\\a_{30} = -5 + (29)5\\a_{30} = -5 + 145\\a_{30} = 140[/tex]

So the 30th term is 140

the sum of 2 numbers is 99 and their quotient is 8What are the 2 numbers

Answers

Answer:

11 and 88

Step-by-step explanation:

I just set up a system of equations:

x + y = 99,

x/y = 8

I decided to use the method of substitution which is expressing one variable in terms of the other and substituting it into the other equation.

To use substitution, I changed the second equation to:

x = 8y

And then, I substituted that value for x into the first equation:

8y + y = 99

And that means:

9y = 99

Hence, y = 11. To find the second number, just substitute 11 for y in the first equation to get:

x + 11 = 99

And that means x = 88.

B) 50.24 ft²
C)200.96 ft ²
D) 100.48 Ft²​

Answers

Answer: 25.12 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

So  r = D ÷ 2

Since the area of a circle = πr²

then the area of a semi-circle =  (¹/₂π (¹/₂D)²)

Area of a semicircle given the diameter = (¹/₂π (¹/₂D)²)

                                                                  =  (¹/₂(3.14) (¹/₂ 8ft)²)

                                                                  = 25.12 ft²

A study investigated the job satisfaction of teachers allowed to choose supplementary curriculum for their classes versus teachers who were assigned all curricular resources for use in their classes. On average, when surveyed regarding job satisfaction, teachers give a score of 3. 3 out of 5 with a standard deviation of 0. 6. When the authors of the study interviewed 40 teachers who supplemented with their own materials, they found 3. 5 to be the mean. The authors wanted to know if the group of teachers that could choose supplementary curriculum had a higher level of job satisfaction. They used a significance level of 1%. Which of the following statements is valid based on the results of the test? The data shows that teachers allowed to choose supplementary curriculum for classes are more satisfied with their jobs. The data shows that teachers who were assigned all curricular resources for classes are more satisfied with their jobs. The data shows that there is no difference in job satisfaction between the two groups of teachers. The data shows that the authors cannot make a determination either way with this data.

find the measure indicated angle that makes lines u and v parallel

Answers

Answer:

91°

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is 91°. What you do is you name the angle next to 89° with x, and you know that an angle whose arms are horizontal makes 180°. So, you go:

180°=x+89°

x=180°-89°

x=91°.

Now, there is this rule that says that when two angles are on sides like x and ? are, then they are equal. Therefore, the angle marked with ? is 91°.
