the third term and the fifth term of a geometric progression are 2 and 1/8 respectively. If all terms are positive, find the sum to the infinity of the progression​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

42 + 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, to calculate the sum of an infinite geometric series, our formula is

a₁/(1-r), with a₁ being the first term of the series and r being the common ratio. Therefore, we want to find both a₁ and r.

To find r, we can first determine that 2 * r = a₄ and a₄ * r = a₅, as the ratio separates one number from the next in a geometric series. Therefore, we have

2 * r * r = a₅

2 * r² = 1/8

divide both sides by 2 to isolate the r²

r² = 1/16

square root both sides to isolate r

r =± 1/4. Note the ± because r²=1/16 regardless of whether r = 1/4 or -1/4. However, because all terms are positive, r must be positive as well, or a₄, for example, would be 2 * (-1/4) = -0.5

Therefore, r = 1/4 .

To find the first term, we know that a₁ * r = a₂, and a₂ * r = a₃. Therefore, a₁ * r² = a₃ = 2

a₁ * 1/16 = 2

divide both sides by 1/16 to isolate a₁

a₁ = 2 * 1/ (1/16)

= 2 * 16

= 32

Plugging a₁ and r into our infinite geometric series formula, we have

a₁/(1-r)

= 32  / (1-1/4)

= 32/ (3/4)

= 32/ 0.75

= 42 + 2/3

A. Translates 2 units left AND 4 units up.

B. Translates 2 units down AND 4 units right.

C. Translates 2 units up AND 4 units down.

D. Translates 2 units right AND 4 units up.

Answers

Answer:

C. TRANSLATE 2 UNITS UP AND 4 UNITS DOWN

Step-by-step explanation:

The transformation that takes place with the following rule (x - 2, y + 4) is translates 2 units left AND 4 units up, the correct option is A.

How does transformation of a function happens?

The transformation of a function may involve any change.

Usually, these can be shift horizontally (by transforming inputs) or vertically (by transforming output), stretching (multiplying outputs or inputs) etc.

If the original function is y = f(x), assuming horizontal axis is input axis and vertical is for outputs, then:

Horizontal shift (also called phase shift):

Left shift by c units:

y=f(x+c) (same output, but c units earlier)

Right shift by c units:

y=f(x-c)(same output, but c units late)

Vertical shift:

Up by d units: y = f(x) + d

Down by d units: y = f(x) - d

Stretching:

Vertical stretch by a factor k: y = [tex]k \times f(x)[/tex]

Horizontal stretch by a factor k: y =[tex]f\left(\dfrac{x}{k}\right)[/tex]

We are given that;

The points (x - 2, y + 4)

Now,

The rule (x - 2, y + 4) means that every point (x,y) of the original figure is moved to a new point (x - 2, y + 4) by subtracting 2 from the x-coordinate and adding 4 to the y-coordinate.

The x-axis is horizontal and positive to the right. Subtracting from the x-coordinate means moving left and adding to the x-coordinate means moving right.

The y-axis is vertical and positive upwards. Subtracting from the y-coordinate means moving down and adding to the y-coordinate means moving up.

Subtracting 2 from the x-coordinate means moving 2 units left and adding 4 to the y-coordinate means moving 4 units up.

Therefore, by transforming functions the answer will be translates 2 units left AND 4 units up.

6(4 + 8)

24 + (8)(8)

(2)(12) + (8)(8)

Please hurry

Answers

Answer:

8(3+8)

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property of multiplication states that

A(B+C) = A* B + A* C

Here, we can say that

8(3+8) = 8*3 + 8* 8 = 24 + 64. This seems correc,t but we can check the other options to make sure

6(4 + 8) = 6 * 4 + 6*8 = 24 + 48. This is incorrect

24 + (8)(8) . The 24 and 8 are not in the same parenthesis, so we cannot multiply them. Using PEMDAS, we multiply first, so 24+(8)(8) = 24 + 8*8 = 24 + 64. If there are multiple solutions, this can work. If not, this does not use the distributive property as we are not adding anything in the parenthesis.

Similarly, for (2)(12) + (8)(8), we are not adding anything in the parenthesis, but we can use PEMDAS to get 2*12 + 8*8 = 24 + 64, so this would also work but does not use the distributive property.

What is y=2x+8 and y=.5x+14

Answers

first we have to solve for x in order to find the value of y

2x+8=5x+14

5x-2x=14-8

x=2

placing the x value in these two equation to find the value of y

y=2(2)+8

y=12

y=5(2)+14

Point slope formula.. help

Answers

Answer:   y = 2x+6

========================================================

Explanation:

We'll need the slope first

m = slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (0-(-4))/(-3-(-5))

m = (0+4)/(-3+5)

m = 4/2

m = 2

The slope is 2.

Next, pick either of the two given points to play the role of [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex]

Let's say we picked on (-5,-4). The order doesn't matter so you could easily pick the other point as well.

We'll plug these items into the point slope equation below to solve for y.

[tex]y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)\\\\y - (-4) = 2(x - (-5))\\\\y + 4 = 2(x +5)\\\\y + 4 = 2x +10\\\\y = 2x +10-4\\\\y = 2x +6\\\\[/tex]

Or we could have picked on (-3,0). The m value stays the same (at m = 2)

[tex]y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)\\\\y - 0 = 2(x - (-3))\\\\y = 2(x +3)\\\\y = 2x+6\\\\[/tex]

This one takes a few less steps. Either way, we get to the same answer.

You only need to pick one of the points, but doing both of them helps show that the two points are on the same line. It helps confirm the answer.

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

Another way to check the answer is to plug the (x,y) coordinates into y = 2x+6 for each point.

So let's say we check (x,y) = (-5,-4)

y = 2x+6

-4 = 2(-5)+6 ... replace x with -5, replace y with -4

-4 = -10+6

-4 = -4

This confirms the first point. I'll let you check the second point.

Answer:

y = 2x+6

Step-by-step explanation:

Attached below is my graph

I graphed the two points, and formed a line

From the point (0,0), i counted the units till the first point the line touches on the y axis (6)

This is the y intercept

The slope-intercept form is written as y = mx+b

m = slope

b = y intercept

So so far we have y = mx + 6

The slope is the rise to the next point the line touches, over the run

You can see that as it rises 2, it runs 1

Rise / Run = 2/1 = 2

Slope = 2

Equation: y = 2x + 6

Answers

Answer:  (4y-9z)( 16y^2 + 36yz + 81z^2 )

=======================================================

Explanation:

We'll use the difference of cubes factoring rule

a^3 - b^3 = (a-b)(a^2+ab+b^2)

In this case,

a^3 = 64y^3 which leads to a = 4yb^3 = 729z^3 which leads to b = 9z

So,

a^3 - b^3 = (a-b)(a^2+ab+b^2)

64y^3 - 729z^3 = (4y-9z)( (4y)^2 + (4y)(9z) + (9z)^2 )

64y^3 - 729z^3 = (4y-9z)( 16y^2 + 36yz + 81z^2 )

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\|a\| = 5\sqrt{13}[/tex].

[tex]\|b\| = 3\sqrt{29}[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

Let [tex]m[/tex],[tex]n[/tex], and [tex]k[/tex] be scalars such that:

[tex]\displaystyle a = m\, (2\, \vec{i} + 3\, \vec{j}) = m\, \begin{bmatrix}2 \\ 3\end{bmatrix}[/tex].

[tex]\displaystyle b = n\, (2\, \vec{i} + 5\, \vec{j}) = n\, \begin{bmatrix}2 \\ 5\end{bmatrix}[/tex].

[tex]\displaystyle (a + b) = k\, (8\, \vec{i} + 15\, \vec{j}) = k\, \begin{bmatrix}8 \\ 15\end{bmatrix}[/tex].

The question states that [tex]\| a + b \| = 34[/tex]. In other words:

[tex]k\, \sqrt{8^{2} + 15^{2}} = 34[/tex].

[tex]k^{2} \, (8^{2} + 15^{2}) = 34^{2}[/tex].

[tex]289\, k^{2} = 34^{2}[/tex].

Make use of the fact that [tex]289 = 17^{2}[/tex] whereas [tex]34 = 2 \times 17[/tex].

[tex]\begin{aligned}17^{2}\, k^{2} &= 34^{2}\\ &= (2 \times 17)^{2} \\ &= 2^{2} \times 17^{2} \end{aligned}[/tex].

[tex]k^{2} = 2^{2}[/tex].

The question also states that the scalar multiple here is positive. Hence, [tex]k = 2[/tex].

Therefore:

[tex]\begin{aligned} (a + b) &= k\, (8\, \vec{i} + 15\, \vec{j}) \\ &= 2\, (8\, \vec{i} + 15\, \vec{j}) \\ &= 16\, \vec{i} + 30\, \vec{j}\\ &= \begin{bmatrix}16 \\ 30 \end{bmatrix}\end{aligned}[/tex].

[tex](a + b)[/tex] could also be expressed in terms of [tex]m[/tex] and [tex]n[/tex]:

[tex]\begin{aligned} a + b &= m\, (2\, \vec{i} + 3\, \vec{j}) + n\, (2\, \vec{i} + 5\, \vec{j}) \\ &= (2\, m + 2\, n) \, \vec{i} + (3\, m + 5\, n) \, \vec{j} \end{aligned}[/tex].

[tex]\begin{aligned} a + b &= m\, \begin{bmatrix}2\\ 3 \end{bmatrix} + n\, \begin{bmatrix} 2\\ 5 \end{bmatrix} \\ &= \begin{bmatrix}2\, m + 2\, n \\ 3\, m + 5\, n\end{bmatrix}\end{aligned}[/tex].

Equate the two expressions and solve for [tex]m[/tex] and [tex]n[/tex]:

[tex]\begin{cases}2\, m + 2\, n = 16 \\ 3\, m + 5\, n = 30\end{cases}[/tex].

[tex]\begin{cases}m = 5 \\ n = 3\end{cases}[/tex].

Hence:

[tex]\begin{aligned} \| a \| &= \| m\, (2\, \vec{i} + 3\, \vec{j})\| \\ &= m\, \| (2\, \vec{i} + 3\, \vec{j}) \| \\ &= 5\, \sqrt{2^{2} + 3^{2}} = 5 \sqrt{13}\end{aligned}[/tex].

[tex]\begin{aligned} \| b \| &= \| n\, (2\, \vec{i} + 5\, \vec{j})\| \\ &= n\, \| (2\, \vec{i} + 5\, \vec{j}) \| \\ &= 3\, \sqrt{2^{2} + 5^{2}} = 3 \sqrt{29}\end{aligned}[/tex].

Answer:

Behold.

Step-by-step explanation

The answer to the statement is 1)false 2) false 3) true 4) true and 5) false.

Given functions,f

1) For x ≤ -2: f(x) = -12 + 6x

2) For -2 < x < 1: f(x) = 41 - 15x

3) For x ≥ 1: f(x) = 31 - 4x

1) The graph crosses the y-axis at (0, -15).

This is false because if x = 0, the function value would be -12 + 6 * 0 = -12, not -15.

2) The graph has a point of discontinuity at x = 1.

This is false because the function is defined at x = 1 there is no space, so there is no point of discontinuity at x = 1.

3) The graph is increasing over the interval (4, ∞).

This is true because the coefficient of x in the function's expression is negative, showing that it is decreasing. Therefore, as x increases, the function values decrease.

4) The graph is decreasing over the interval (-12, -2).

This is true because the coefficient of x in the first piece of the function (-12 + 6x) is positive, showing an increasing trend. Therefore, as x decreases from -12 to -2, the function values increase.

Statement 5: The domain of the function is all real numbers.

This is false because the domain of the function is limited by the intervals in its definition. The function is defined differently for different intervals of x.

So, the answer to the statement is

1) false

2) false

3) true

4) true

5) false
