What will be the first term of a geometric series which has its sum 280, common ratio 3 and the last term 189 ?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

b1=7

Step-by-step explanation:

If we deal with geometric series, we should use the formulas for it. If there is the last term, it is not infinite geometric series. The sum of geometric series which isn't infinite is equal to b1(r^n-1)/(r-1)   where b1 is the first term and r is the common ratio.

So 280= b1(3^n-1)/(3-1)

560= b1(3^n-1)

560= b1*3^n-b1

Then express bn=b1*r^(n-1)

189= b1*3^(n-1)

189= b1*3^n*1/3

567= b1*3^n when

560= b1*3^n-b1

560=567-b1

b1=7

Given the function f(x) = -2c+cx-x^2, and f^-1(5) = -1, find c

Answers

Answer:

[tex]c=-2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the function:

[tex]f(x) = -2c + cx - x^2[/tex]

And that:

[tex]\displaystyle f^{-1} (5) = -1[/tex]

And we want to determine the value of c.

Recall that by definition of inverse functions:

[tex]\displaystyle \text{If } f(a) = b, \text{ then } f^{-1}(b) = a[/tex]

So, since f⁻¹(5) = -1, then f(-1) = 5.

Substitute:

[tex]f(-1) = 5 = -2c + c(-1) - (-1)^2[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]5 = -2c - c - (1)[/tex]

Combine like terms:

[tex]6 = -3c[/tex]

And divide. Hence:

[tex]c = -2[/tex]

In conclusion, the value of c is -2.

Solve the following equation for b. Be sure to take into account whether a letter is capitalized or not.

Answers

Answer:

b = 2(Y - t)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

t + 1/2b = Y

Isolate b:

1/2b = Y - t

Find b:

b = 2(Y - t)

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto t+\dfrac{1}{2}b=Y[/tex]

take t right side

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{1}{2}b=Y-t[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{b}{2}=Y-t[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto b=2(Y-t)[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto b=2Y-2t[/tex]

given that y/√5 = √20 ×10^-3×10^5x. and lgy- mx = c for x>0 and y>0, find the values of m and c​

Answers

Answer:

m = 5 and c = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]let \: y = \sqrt{20} \times {10}^{ - 3} \times {10}^{5x} \\ be \: equation \: 1[/tex]

Now

[tex]y = \sqrt{5} ( \sqrt{20} \times {10}^{ - 3} \times {10}^{5x} ) \\ y = \sqrt{100} \times {10}^{ - 3} \times {10}^{5x} \\ y = 10 \times {10}^{ - 3} \times {10}^{5x} [/tex]

[tex]using \: rules \: of \: indices \: we \: get \\ y = {10}^{1 - 3 + 5x} \\ y = {10}^{ - 2 + 5x} \\ [/tex]

[tex]now \: take \: log \: of \: both \: sides \: and \: use \: laws \: of \: logarithm \\ we \: get \\ [/tex]

[tex] log(y) = log( {10}^{ - 2 + 5x} ) \\ log(y) = ( - 2 + 5x) log(10) \\ log(y) = - 2 + 5x \\ log(y) - 5x = - 2 \\ \\ comparing \: this \: to \: \\ log(y) - mx = c \\ \\ we \: get \: m \: = 5 \: and \: c = - 2[/tex]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

So first let's write the information we got

Angle BAC = 90 degrees

Midpoint of BC = M

AC = 6cm

Am= 5cm

Also I found MC = BM, since it has a line that represents both lines are same

so to find it we have to Pythagoras theorem (A^2 + B^2 = C^2), well it is question we have the 'A value and C Value', also we need to find the value of B to find the length of MC and BM

A = 5

C = 6

so therefore to find B^2, we have to do the reverse, we don't add but subtract

C^2 - A^2 = B^2

___________________________________________________________

Moving on to Calculation

6^2 - 5^2 = B^2

36 - 25 = B^2

B^2 = 9

B = √9

B = 3

MC and BM Length =  3 cm

____________________________

Now, we know the length we again need to use Pythagoras theorem to solve this.

Since we know

A = 5

B = 3

So..

A^2 + B^2 = C^2

5^2 + 3^2 = C^2

25 - 9 = C^2

C^2 = 16

C = √16

C = 4

how to solve 5/6=v+2/7

Answers

Answer:

5/6 = v + 2/7

Step-by-step explanation:

5/6 = v + 2/7  

23/42 - v = 0

5/6 = 1/7 (7 v + 2)

Answer:

23/42 = v

Step-by-step explanation:

5/6=v+2/7

Multiply each side by the common denominator, 42

42( 5/6=v+2/7)

35 = 42v + 12

Subtract 12 from each side

35-12 = 42v

23 = 42 v

Divide each side by 42

23/42 = v

If 5x:(x-2) = 11:3 , find the value of x ?​

Answers

Answer:

x = -11/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratios need to stay the same

5x        11

----- = -------

x-2       3

Using cross products

5x*3 = (x-2) 11

15x = 11x - 22

Subtract 11 from each side

15x-11x = -22

4x = -22

x = -22/4

x = -11/2

Answer:

5 whole number 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

5x:(x-2)=11:3

(:)This simply means ''ratio''

5x/(x-2) = 11/3

(cross multiply)

11(x-2) = 3(5x)

11x-22 = 15x

collect like terms

15x - 11x = 22

4x = 22

x = 22/4, but it is best you put it as a Mixed number.

x = 5 whole number 2/4, which can be reduced to

x = 5 whole number 1/2

Hope this helps!
Would really appreciate it if given brainleist, thanks!

9514 1404 393

Answer:

107

Step-by-step explanation:

The GCF can be no larger than the difference between the numbers. That would be the first value you want to check to see if it is a factor of the numbers.

GCF(40, 50)

The difference is 10, which is a factor of both 40 and 50.

  GCF(40, 50) = 10

__

GCF(14, 56, 63)

You can figure the GCF pairwise, as GCF(14, 56) = 14; then GCF(14, 63) = 7. Or, you can look at the smallest difference between any pair of numbers. Here, that is 63 -56 = 7, which is a factor of all three numbers.

  GCF(14, 56, 63) = 7

_____

Additional comment

Euclid's algorithm has you compute the remainder from division of the largest by the smallest. When that remainder is non-zero, it replaces the largest, and you repeat. When the remainder is zero, the smallest is the GCF.

For example, let's look at the GCF of 14 and 63.

  63/14 = 4 r 7

  14/7 = 2 r 0 . . . . . 7 is the divisor, so is the greatest common factor

9) Determine which sides, if any, of the figures are parallel, perpendicular, or neither.
Rectangle BACD has coordinate B(-4,-3), A(-1, -7),C(3,-4), and D(0,0).

Answers

Answer:

Parallel: AC and DB, BA and CD

Perpendicular: AC and CD, DB and CD, DB and BA, BA and AC

Neither: None

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Find Slopes

Let's first find the slopes of each side of the rectangle, as that will helps us determine which sides are parallel, perpendicular, or neither.

Recall that the formula for finding the slope between two points is [tex]\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex] where [tex](x_1, y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex] are the coordinates of the two points. To avoid confusion, I will be taking the first point I list as [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and the second point as [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex].

Slope of [tex]BA[/tex]:

[tex]\frac{-7-(-3)}{-1-(-4)}\\=\frac{-7+3}{-1+4} \\= -\frac{4}{3}[/tex]

Slope of [tex]AC[/tex]:

[tex]\frac{-4-(-7)}{3-(-1)} \\=\frac{-4+7}{3+1} \\=\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

Slope of [tex]CD[/tex]:

[tex]\frac{0-(-4)}{0-3} \\=\frac{4}{-3} \\=-\frac{4}{3}[/tex]

Slope of [tex]DB[/tex]:

[tex]\frac{-3-0}{-4-0} \\=\frac{-3}{-4} \\=\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

Step 2: Determine which sides are parallel, perpendicular, or neither

Now that we found the slopes of the sides, we can determine which sides are parallel, perpendicular, or neither.

Recall that parallel lines have the same slope. [tex]\bf AC[/tex] and [tex]\bf DB[/tex], along with [tex]\bf BA[/tex]and [tex]\bf CD[/tex], have the same slope, so they are parallel. No other pair of sides has the same slope, so these are our only parallel pairs.

For two lines to be perpendicular, the product of their slopes must be [tex]-1[/tex]. [tex]\bf AC[/tex] and [tex]\bf CD[/tex], [tex]\bf DB[/tex] and [tex]\bf CD[/tex], [tex]\bf DB[/tex] and [tex]\bf BA[/tex], and [tex]\bf BA[/tex] and [tex]\bf AC[/tex] [tex]\bf[/tex]meet that criteria, so they are perpendicular. No other pair of sides meets the criteria, so these are our only perpendicular pairs. Hope this helps!

A father is now twice as old as his son. If the sum of their ages ten years ago was fifty two, how old are they today?​

Answers

Answer:

24 and 48

Today, the son is 24 years old, and the father is 48 years old.  

Step-by-step explanation:

(x - 10) + (2x - 10) = 52

3x + 20 = 52

3x = 72

x = 24

The father is 2 times his son's age.

2x

= 2(24)

= 48

So, the son is 24 and the father is 48.

10 years ago, son was 14 and father was 38, if added, this adds up to 52, so we know our calculations are correct.

Answer:

So the son’s age is 24 and the father’s is 48. Ten years ago, they were 14 and 38, which adds up to 52.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the son’s age is x, the father’s age is 2x.

Ten years ago:

(x - 10) + (2x - 10) = 52

3x + 20 = 52

3x = 72

x = 24

2x = 48
