If the 5th term in a geometric sequence is 162, and the common ratio is 3. What is the first term in the sequence?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

a2 = a1×3

a3 = a2×3 = a1×3×3

=>

an = an-1 × 3 =

[tex]a1 \times {3}^{n - 1} [/tex]

a5 = 162 = a1×3⁴ = a1×81

a1 = 162/81 = 2

A circular garden is surrounded by a circular path of 7m width.If the area of path is 770m²,find the area of the garden without path.


help me this question ⁉️​

Answers

Answer:

Answer:

Radius of the circular garden

= 210 sq

=105m

Radius of the region covering the garden and the path =105m+7m

=112m

Area of the region between two concentric circles

with radius of outer circle R, and inner circle r =π(R sq−r sq)

Hence, the area of the path

=π(112sq−105 sq)= 7/22

(12544−11025)

= 33418/7

=4774m sq

Three exterior angles of a pentagon measures 60,80and 90.Find the measure of other two exterior angle, assuming them equally Thanks!​

Answers

Given:

The three exterior angles of a pentagon measures 60,80 and 90.

To find:

The measure of other two exterior angle, assuming them equally.

Solution:

Let x be the measure of two other exterior angles of the pentagon.

We know that the sum of all exterior angles of a pentagon is 360 degrees.

[tex]60^\circ+80^\circ+90^\circ+x+x=360^\circ[/tex]

[tex]230^\circ+2x=360^\circ[/tex]

[tex]2x=360^\circ-230^\circ[/tex]

[tex]2x=130^\circ[/tex]

Divide both sides by 2.

[tex]\dfrac{2x}{2}=\dfrac{130^\circ}{2}[/tex]

[tex]x=65^\circ[/tex]

Therefore, the measures of both exterior angles are 65 degrees.

One number is 96 more than another. Their ratio is 5:17. Find the numbers

Answers

Answer:

40 and 136

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the 2 numbers = 5 : 17 = 5x : 17x ( x is a multiplier )

One number is 96 more than the other then

17x = 5x + 96 ( subtract 5x from both sides )

12x = 96 ( divide both sides by 12 )

x = 8 , then

5x = 5 × 8 = 40

17x = 17 × 8 = 136

The 2 numbers are 40 and 136

Factor the trinomial 7x2 – 3x – 4.

Which pair of numbers has a product of ac and a sum of b?



What is the factored form of the trinomial?

Answers

Answer:

(x - 1)(7x + 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.

product = 7 × - 4 = - 28 and sum = - 3

The factors are - 7 and + 4

Use these factors to split the x- term

7x² - 7x + 4x - 4 ( factor first/second and third/fourth terms )

= 7x(x - 1) + 4(x - 1) ← factor out (x - 1) from each term

= (x - 1)(7x + 4) ← in factored form

Alvin is 7 years older than Elga. The sum of their ages is 79. What is Elga's age?
39 уга
years old
?

Answers

Answer:

36 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = Elga's age

Alvin's age = x + 7

Sum of their ages = 79

Sum of their ages = Alvin's age + Elga's age

79 = (x + 7) + x

79 = x + 7 + x

79 = 2x + 7

79 - 7 = 2x

72 = 2x

x = 72/2

x = 36

Elga's age = x = 36 years

Alvin's age = x + 7

= 36 + 7

= 43 years

Answers

Answer:

We know that in the box there are:

4 twix

3 kit-kat

Then the total number of candy in the box is:

4 +3 = 7

a)

Here we want to find the probability that we draw two twix.

All the candy has the same probability of being drawn from the box.

So, the probability of getting a twix in the first drawn, is equal to the quotient between the number of twix and the total number of candy in the box, this is:

p = 4/7

Now for the second draw, we do the same, but because we have already drawn one twix before, now the number of twix in the box is 3, and the total number of candy in the box is 6.

this time the probability is:

q = 3/6 = 1/2

The joint probability is the product of the individual probabilities, so here we have

P = p*q = (4/7)*(1/2) =  2/7

b) same reasoning than in the previous case:

For the first bar, the probability is:

p = 3/7

for the second bar, the probability is:

q = 2/6 = 1/3

The joint probability is:

P = p*q = (3/7)*(1/3) = 1/7

c) Suppose that first we draw a twix.

The probability we already know that is:

p = 4/7

Now we want another type, so we need to draw a kit-kat, the probability will be equal to the quotient between the remaining kit-kat bars (3) and the total number of candy in the box (6)

q = 3/6

The joint probability is:

P = p*q = (4/7)*(3/6) = 2/7

But, we also have the case where we first draw a kit-kat and after a twix, so we have a permutation of two, then the probability in this case is:

Probability = 2*P = 2*2/7 = 4/7
