Let [tex]\sf a+b,a-b,ab,\dfrac{a}{b}[/tex] form an arithmetic sequence. What is the sixth term of this sequence?​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

171/40 or 4 11/40

Step-by-step explanation:

AP givena + b, a - b,  ab, a/bTo find6th termSolution

Common difference

Difference of first two

d = (a -b) - (a + b) = -2b

Difference of second two

d= ab - (a - b)

Difference of last two

d = a/b - ab

Now comparing d:

-2b = ab - (a - b)ab - a = - 3ba(1 - b) = 3ba = 3b/(1 - b)

and

a/b - ab = -2ba(1/b - b) = -2ba = 2b²/(b² - 1)

Eliminating a:

2b²/(b² - 1) = 3b/(1 - b)2b/(b+1) = -32b = -3b - 35b = - 3b = -3/5

Finding a:

a = 3b/(1 - b) = 3*(-3/5) *1/(1 - (-3/5)) = -9/5*5/8 =-9/8

So the first term is:

a + b = -3/5 - 9/8 = -24/40 - 45/40 = - 69/40

Common difference:

d = -2b = -2(-3/5) = 6/5

The 6th term:

a₆ = a₁ + 5d =-69/40 + 5*6/5 = -69/40 + 240/40 =171/40 = 4 11/40

illustrates whather the two ratios are equal or not using cross 3/27, 1/9​

Answers

Answer:

They are equal

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]\frac{3}{27}\ and\ \frac{1}{9}[/tex]

Required

Determine if they are equal

We start by equating both:

[tex]\frac{3}{27} = \frac{1}{9}[/tex]

Cross Multiply

[tex]3 * 9 = 1 * 27[/tex]

[tex]27 = 27[/tex]

Because both sides of the equation are equal, then the ratios are equal

Which graph represents y = √ X

Answers

Explanation:

[tex]\displaystyle [9, 3] → 3 = \sqrt{9} \\ [4, 2] → 2 = \sqrt{4} \\ [1, 1] → 1 = \sqrt{1} \\ [0, 0] → 0 = \sqrt{0}[/tex]

**In this case, we want NON-NEGATIVE terms.

You have a square that has a side length of $1$ centimeter. Each minute, $2$ centimeters are added to the side length. After $10$ minutes, what will be the difference between the area of the last square and the area of the initial square in square centimeters (do not include the units in your answer)?

Answers

Answer:

Difference in area of the last square and the initial square = 440 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the side of a square = 1 cm

Area of the square = (side)² = 1 cm²

Addition of side length every minute = 2 cm

After x minutes length of each side of the square = (1 + 2x) cm

If x = 10 minutes

Length of each side of the square = [1 + 2(10)]

                                                         = 21 cm

Area of the square after 10 minutes = (21)²

                                                            = 441 cm²

Therefore, difference in area of the last square and area of the initial square

= 441 - 1

= 440 cm²

Blanking on how medians in a triangle work

Answers

A median cuts a leg of a triangle in half. So for instance, PF being a median means that DP and PE are congruent and have the same length. Consequently, each component triangle (that is, ∆DPC, ∆EPC, ∆EQC, etc) all have the same area.

If A is the area of ∆PCE, then the area of ∆PFE is 3A.

Take PF = 24 to be the base of ∆PFE, and take PC to be the base of ∆PCE. The area of any triangle is equal to 1/2 times the base times the height. But ∆PFE and ∆PCE share the same height (you can see this by dropping an altitude from the vertex E down to the line containing PF), so PC is 1/3 the length of PF, so FC must be 2/3 the length of PF.

So FC has length 2/3 × 24 = 16.

A department store is having a clothing sale. If a $35.00 pair of pants has a discount tag of 20% off, what is the sale price?

Answers

Answer:

$28.00

Step-by-step explanation:

You start with 35.00.

Now 10% of this is 3.5.

Multiply by 2 because it's 20%.

You get 7, so 7 is 20% of 35.00.

35.00 minus 7 is 28.00.

The pair of pants will be 28.00 dollars!

Write an equation in slope-intercept form that is perpendicular to y = -7x + 3 and passing through (14.1).

Answers

Answer:

y = 1/7x -1

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Find the slope.

- In this case, the equation given is in simplest form so you can easily come to the conclusion that '-7' is the slope. But, since the math question wants a slope-intercept form in perpendicular form, the slope would actually be 1/7.

2) Use the point-slope form and substitute the values available. Then solve.

m (slope) = 1/7

(a, b) = (14, 1)

y - b = m(x - a)

y - 1 = 1/7(x - 14)

y - 1 = 1/7x - 2

y = 1/7x - 1

The result is your answer.

Write a linear model for the amount of boxes, b, as a function of the number of hours since they opened, h. Use your model to predict the number of boxes in stock at the end of an 8 hour shift.

Answers

Question:

A company produces boxes of DVDs at a rate of 52 boxes per hour they begin to produce boxes when they first opened for the day and after 3 hours have 400 boxes in stock.

- How many boxes were in stock when they opened?

- Write a linear model for the amount of boxes, b, as a function of the number of hours since they opened, h.

- Use your model to predict the number of boxes in stock at the end of an 8 hour shift.

Answer:

1. [tex]Initial = 244[/tex]

2. [tex]b = 244 + 52h[/tex]

3. 660 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Rate = 52\ per\ hour[/tex]

[tex]Total\ boxes\ in\ 3\ hours = 400[/tex]

Solving (a): Initial Number of boxes

First, we calculate the number of boxes made in 3 hours

[tex]Boxes = Rate * Hours[/tex]

[tex]Boxes = 52 * 3[/tex]

[tex]Boxes = 156[/tex]

If they had 400 boxes at the 3rd hour.

Then, the number of boxes when they opened is:

[tex]Initial = 400 - 156[/tex]

[tex]Initial = 244[/tex]

Solving (b): Linear function

[tex]b = boxes[/tex]

[tex]h = hours[/tex]

Since, we have the rate and the initial number of boxes.

The linear function is:

[tex]Boxes = Initial + Rate * Hours[/tex]

i.e.

[tex]b = 244 + 52 * h[/tex]

[tex]b = 244 + 52h[/tex]

Solving (c): Boxes at the end of the 8th hour

We have:

[tex]b = 244 + 52h[/tex]

In this case:

[tex]h = 8[/tex]

Substitute 8 for h

[tex]b = 244 + 52 * 8[/tex]

[tex]b = 244 + 416[/tex]

[tex]b = 660[/tex]

Hence, there are 660 boxes at the end of the 8th hour
