B.
0; –250; –156,250


C.
–10; –1000; –10,000,000

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A.

–2; –250; –156,250

Step-by-step explanation:

A(1) = -2 x 5(1) - 1 = -11

A(4) = -2 x 5(4) -1 = -41

A(8) = -2 x 5(8) -1 = -81

...............................................................................................................................................

an=a1(r)^(n-1)

a1=first term

r=common ratio

n=which term

so

an=-2(5)^(n-1)

first term is -2

4th term is subsitue 4 for n

a4=-2(5)^(4-1)

a4=-2(5)^3

a4=-2(125)

a4=-250

4th term is -250

--------------------------

8th term

a8=-2(5)^(8-1)

a8=-2(5)^7

a8=-2(78125)

a8=-156250

8th term is -156250

...............................................................................................................................................

A(1)=2*5^1-1=2*5^0=2*1=2

a(4)=2*5^4-1=2*5^3=2*125=250  

a(8)=2*5^8-1=2*5^7=2*78,125=156,250

...............................................................................................................................................

A student writes an incorrect step while checking if the sum of the measures of the two remote interior angles of triangle ABC below is equal to the measure of the exterior angle.

Step 1: m∠x + m∠y + m∠z = 180 degrees (sum of angles of a triangle)
Step 2: m∠w − m∠z = 90 degrees (corresponding angles)
Step 3: Therefore, m∠x + m∠y + m∠z = m∠w + m∠z
Step 4: So, m∠x + m∠y = m∠w

In which step did the student first make a mistake and how can it be corrected? (5 points)


Step 1; it should be m∠x + m∠y + m∠z = 180 degrees (sum of corresponding angles)

Step 2; it should be m∠w + m∠z = 180 degrees (supplementary angles)

Step 1; it should be m∠x + m∠y + m∠z = 90 degrees (corresponding angles)

Step 2; it should be m∠w + m∠z = 90 degrees (alternate exterior angle)

Answers

Answer:

Step 2; it should be m∠w + m∠z = 180 degrees (supplementary angles)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: m∠x + m∠y + m∠z = 180 degrees (sum of angles of a triangle)

Step 2: m∠w − m∠z = 90 degrees (corresponding angles)  

We are adding the angles to form a straight line which is 180 degrees

Step 3: Therefore, m∠x + m∠y + m∠z = m∠w + m∠z

Step 4: So, m∠x + m∠y = m∠w

Every week, Judy goes to the supermarket and buys the following: $5$ carrots at $\$1$ each, $3$ bottles of milk at $\$3$ each, $2$ pineapples at $\$4$ each, $2$ bags of flour at $\$5$ each, and a giant $\$7$ container of ice cream. This week the store has a sale and pineapples are half price. Judy also has a coupon for $\$5$ off any order of $\$25$ or over. How much money does Judy spend on this shopping trip

Answers

Answer:

She spends $30 in total.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that you buy X units of a given product with a price Y, then the total cost here is X*Y, with this we can solve our problem:

Every week Judy buys:

5 carrots, at $1 each, so she spends 5*$1 = $5 in carrots.

3 bottles of milk at $3, so she spends 3*$3 = $9 in milk bottles.

2 pineapples at $4 each (but the pineapples are at half price, so this week the pineapples cost $4/2 = $2), so she spends 2*$2 = $4 in pineapples.

2 bags of flour at $5 each, so she spends 2*$5 = $10 in flour.

1 giant container of ice cream, she spends $7 on it.

So the total money that she speends is:

$5 + $9 + $4 + $10 + $7 = $35

And she has a coupon for $5 in any order equal to or larger than $25, his order is larger than $25, so she can use the coupon.

So she will spend a total of $35 - $5 = $30

She spends $30 in total.

The cost of tickets of a comedy show of 'Gaijatra' is Rs 700 for an adult and Rs 500 for a child. If a family paid Rs 3,100 for 5 tickets, how many tickets were purchased in each category? ​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to create a system of equations here, one for the NUMBER of tickets sold and one for the COST of the tickets. They are very much NOT the same thing.

We have that the total number of tickets is 5, and that that total is made up of adult tickets and child tickets. The equation for the NUMBER of tickets, then, is:

a + c = 5

Now for the money.

If a child ticket costs Rc 500, the expression that represents that that is in fact the cost of the child ticket is 500c;

likewise for the adult ticket. If the adult ticket costs Rc 700, the expression that represents that is 700a.

And we know that a total of Rs 1300 was spent on the tickets. The equation for the COST is

700a + 500c = 1300

Now go back to the first equation and solve it for either a or c, it doesn't matter which. I solved for a:

a = 5 - c  and we will sub that into the second equation for a:

700(5 - c) + 500c = 1300 and

3500 - 700c + 500c = 1300 and

-200c = -400 so

c = 2 tickets. That means that there were

a = 3 tickets sold for the adults.

Use the first five terms of the binomial theorem to approximate (-1.4)^8

Answers

Answer:

14.75789056

Step-by-step explanation:

I think so...

The first five terms of the binomial theorem to approximate (-1.4)⁸ answer would be 14.056.

What is the Binomial Theorem?

The binomial theorem states the principle for expanding the algebraic expression (x + y)ⁿ and describes it as the total of the phrases involving the unique exponents of the x and y variables. Each word in a binomial expansion has a coefficient, which is a numerical value.

According to the binomial theorem, it is possible to expand any non-negative power of binomial (x + y) into a sum of the form,

(x+y)ⁿ = ⁿC₀xⁿy₀ + nC₁ xⁿ⁻¹y₁ + nC₂ xⁿ⁻² y2 + ... + nC x¹yⁿ⁻¹ + nCn x°yⁿ

where n ≥ 0 is an integer and each ⁿCₓ is a positive integer known as a binomial coefficient.

Given expression as (- 1.4)⁸

as a result, if you have raised a negative integer to an even power, the response will be positive.

Eliminating the negative sign.

⇒ (1.4)⁸ = (1+0.4)⁸

⇒ 1⁸+8*1⁷*0.4+28*1⁶*0.4²+56*1⁵*0.4³+70*1⁴*0.4⁴

⇒ 1+3.2+4.48+3.584+1.792

14.056

If we used one more term we would get 14.62944

what is JR?

K
R
569
27°
72°
M

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In a parallelogram, this one in particular:

KR = RM

JR = RL

We are looking in the end for the length of JR, but that means that we need to solve for x somehow to plug in the expression for JL, and then split that in half. Here's how we're going to go about it. I know that

KM = KR + RM, but since KR and RM are the same length, the equation becomes

KM = 2KR. Filling that in with the expressions I'm given for KM and KR:

3x - 5 = 2(x + 7) and

3x - 5 = 2x + 14 and

x = 19. Now I can find the length of JL:

JL = 4x - 10 so

JL = 4(19) - 10 and

JL = 66

Knowing that JR = RL and JL is 66 units long, JR = RL = 33 units each.

D. None of the above​

Answers

Given:

The graph of a scatter plot.

To find:

The function that best fits the given points.

Solution:

From the given graph it is clear that the linear function is the best fit for the given points because the points lie on a straight line or near to it.

So, options B and C are incorrect because they represent exponential and quadratic function respectively.

Let as assume the two points on the graph are (0.80,-12.82) and (2,-12.79).

Using this two points, the equation of line is:

[tex]y-(-12.82)=\dfrac{-12.79-(-12.82)}{2-0.80}(x-0.80)[/tex]

[tex]y+12.82=\dfrac{-12.79+12.82}{2-0.80}(x-0.80)[/tex]

[tex]y+12.82=0.025(x-0.80)[/tex]

[tex]y+12.82=0.025x-0.02[/tex]

[tex]y=0.025x-0.02-12.82[/tex]

[tex]y=0.025x-12.84[/tex]

[tex]y=-12.84+0.025x[/tex]

It is the approximate function to the function that is in option A.

Therefore, the correct option is A.

first we need to calculate the area of isosceles triangle having sides 48cm, 48cm and 30cm

a = 48

b= 30

Area of isosceles triangle using only sides = ½[√(a^2 − b^2 /4) × b]

= 1/2*30√( 48² - 1/4×30²)

Answers

Answer:

6 inches by 6 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the square = 256 inches ²

Given equation:

(x + 10)² = 256

Where,

x = side measure of the original square

(x + 10)² = 256

(x + 10)(x + 10) = 256

x² + 10x + 10x + 100 = 256

x² + 20x + 100 = 256

x² + 20x + 100 - 256 = 0

x² + 20x - 156 = 0

Solve the quadratic equation by factorization

Find two numbers whose product is -156 and sum is 20

The numbers are -26 and 6

x² + 26x - 6x - 156 = 0

x(x + 26) - 6(x + 26) = 0

(x + 26) (x - 6) = 0

x + 26 = 0 or x - 6 = 0

x = -26 or x = 6

Side length of a square can not be negative

Therefore,

x = 6 inches

The length of a rectangle is 2 Inches less than three times its width, and its perimeter is 36 Inches. Find the width of the
rectangle

Answers

Answer: Width = 5 inches

Concept:

Here, we need to know the idea of the perimeter.

A perimeter is a path that encompasses/surrounds/outlines a shape.

Perimeter of rectangle = 2 (w + l)

w = width

l = length

If you are still confused, please refer to the attachment below for a graphical explanation.

Solve:

w = w

l = 3w - 2

P = 36 inches

Given formula

P = 2 (w + l)

Substitute the value into the formula

36 = 2 (w + 3w - 2)

Simplify values in the parentheses

36 = 2 (4w -2)

Divide 2 on both sides

36 / 2 = 2 (4w - 2) / 2

18 = 4w - 2

Add 2 on both sides

18 + 2 = 4w - 2 + 2

20 = 4w

Divide 4 on both sides

20 / 4 = 4w / 4

w = 5
