8 A geometric sequence has all
positive terms. The sum of the
first two terms is 15 and the sum
to infinity is 27.
a
Find the value of the common
ratio.
b Hence, find the first term.

Answers

Answer 1

Let the terms be a, ar, ar², ...

The sum to infinity being 27 means that:

[tex]\frac{a}{1-r}=27 \implies a=27(1-r)[/tex]

The sum of the first two terms being 15 means:

[tex]a+ar=15 \\ \\ (27-27r)+r(27-27r)=15 \\ \\ 27-27r+27r-27r^2 =15 \\ \\ 27r^2 -12=0 \\ \\ 27r^2 =12 \\ \\ r^2=\frac{12}{27}[/tex]

Since all the terms are positive, r>0.

[tex]\boxed{r=\frac{2}{3}} \\ \\ \implies a=27\left(1-\frac{2}{3} \right)=\boxed{9}[/tex]

find the area of 8in 5in 4in 4in 10in 6in

Answers

By decomposing the figure into simpler ones, we conclude that the area of the irregular figure is 108 square inches.

How to find the area of the irregular figure?

Here we have an irregular figure that can be decomposed into 3 simpler figures, these are:

A rectangle of 6 inches by 8 inches (the top one).A rectangle of 10 inches by 4 inches (the one in the middle).A rectangle of 5 inches by 4 inches (the one at the right).

Remember that the area of a rectangle is the product between the two dimensions, so the areas of these 3 rectangles are:

a = 6in*8in = 48in^2

a' = 10in*4in = 40in^2

a'' = 5in*4in = 20in^2

Adding these areas we get:

48in^2 + 40in^2 + 20in^2 = 108 in^2

The area of the irregular figure is 108 square inches.

explain how to write 50,000 using exponents

Answers

Answer:  5 * 10^4

Explanation:

Place the decimal point between the first two digits to get 5.0

Then we must move the decimal point 4 spots to the right to get back to 50,000

So that's where the "4" comes in with the 10^4

This means 50,000 = 5 * 10^4 which is in scientific notation.

The answer in scientific notation is 5 times 10^4

The exponent of four tells you to multiply 10 by itself 4 times.

10 x 10 = 100 x 10 = 1000 x 10 = 10000

And 10000 times 5 is equal to 50,000.

Keith works at a garage. In the last week, the garage worked on 105 vehicles.
Out of these 35 were MOTS.
What percentage of the work was MOTS? Give your answer to 2 decimal places.

Answers

In the garage 33.33 percentage of work were MOTS.

Percentage is defined as per-cent, that is out of hundred. The percentage is calculated by dividing the acquired value by the total value and multiplying the result by 100.

Now in the given problem,

Total number of vehicles on which Keith worked is 105.

The number of MOTS among the 105 is 35.

Now we have to calculate the percentage of the MOTS out of a total 105 vehicles.

Let us use the formula=(number of MOTS ÷ total vehicles)×100

Therefore required percentage=[tex]\frac{35}{105}\times 100\%[/tex]

or, percentage=33.333...%

Therefore we can conclude that the total percentage of MOTS were approximately 33.33%(rounded to 2 decimal places).

Suppose the scores on a test given to all juniors in a school district are normally distributed with a mean of 71 and a standard deviation of 5. Find the percent of juniors whose score is at least 71. % of juniors scored at least 71.​

Answers

The percent of juniors whose score is at least 71 % is 69.15 %.

We are given that:

Test of the students are normally distributed.

Mean = μ = 71

Standard deviation = σ = 5

We need to find the percent of juniors whose score is at least 71 %.

Now, we know that:

z = ( x - μ) / σ

z = 100 - 71 / 5

z = 29 / 5

z = 5.8

So, percentage = 69.15 %

Therefore, we get that, the percent of juniors whose score is at least 71 % is 69.15 %.

If the measure of A is 28 less than three times the measure of B. A and B are a linear pair. Find the measure of A and B.

Answers

Measure of linear pair A and B are 86 and 38 respectively.

Let the measure of  B = x

And measure of  A = 3x – 28

As  A and B are linear pair. Therefore their sum will be equal to 180

That is numerically,

      A + B = 180

Putting the required values of A and B we will get

     3x – 28 + x = 180

      4x  = 180-28

       4x = 152

        x = 38

Hence the measure of A = 3*38 – 28 = 86

with roots at [tex]r=-1[/tex] and [tex]r=-2[/tex], hence the characteristic solution is

[tex]y_c = C_1 e^{-x} + C_2 e^{-2x}[/tex]

For the nonhomogeneous equation, I'll use variation of parameters. We're looking for a solution of the form

[tex]y = u_1 y_1 + u_2 y_2[/tex]

to the equation

[tex]y'' + a(x) y'' + b(x) y = f(x)[/tex]

such that

[tex]\displaystyle u_1 = - \int \frac{y_2f(x)}{W(y_1,y_2)} \, dx[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle u_2 = \int \frac{y_1 f(x)}{W(y_1,y_2)} \, dx[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle u_2 = \int \frac{e^{-x} \cdot 4e^x \cos(3x)}{-e^{-3x}} \, dx = -4 \int e^{3x} \cos(3x) \, dx[/tex]

Recall Euler's identity,

Then we have the general antiderivative

Taking the real parts of both sides, we have

and

Closing time

The time to close the gap between the runners will be ...

  time = distance/speed

  time = (228 m)/(difference in speeds) = (228 m)/(18 m/s -6 m/s)

  time = (228 m)/(12 m/s) = (228/12) s = 19 s

Marty doesn't have any money saved and he does not want to wait to buy a car . He goes to the dealership and takes out a loan for the $15,000 car . His payments will be $ 500 per month for 3 years (36 months ) . How much will Marty pay for his $ 15,000 car ?

Answers

Marty will have to pay $18,000 for his $15,000 car.

While taking out a loan, the amount taken has to be repaid along with an interest. Thus, the amount paid back by the borrower is always greater than the initial amount that the borrower gets from the lender as a loan.

Here, we are given that Marty has to pay $500 per month for 3 years to repay the loan for his $15,000 car.

Thus, for one month he pays = $500

and also we know that 1 year = 12 months

⇒ 3 years = 12(3) = 36 months

Therefore, for 36 months Marty will have to pay,

500 × 36 = 18,000

Thus, Marty will have to pay $18,000 for his $15,000 car.

Gross earning for week=$662.30

Regular rate per hour for 35hour week=$10.80

Overtime rate=1.5×(10.80)

For 'h' number of hours

(10.80×35)+(10.80×1.5) h=$662.30

⇒378 +16.20h=662.30

Erica is participating in a road race. The first part of the race is on a 5.2-mile-long straight road oriented at an angle of 25∘ north of east. The road then turns due north for another 6.0 mi to the finish line.

In miles, what is the straight-line distance from the starting point to the end of the race?

Answers

The distance between the starting point(initial) and the ending point(last) is known as displacement is  9.46miles.

What is displacement?

Displacement is defined as the change in position of an object. It's a vector volume and has a direction and magnitude. It's represented as an arrow that points from the starting position to the final position. For illustration- If an object moves from A position to B, also the object's position changes. Distance is a scalar volume that refers to" how important ground an object has covered" during its stir. Displacement is a vector volume that refers to" how far out of place an object is" it's the object's overall change in position. Displacement is a defense medium that involves an individual transferring negative heartstrings from one person or thing to another.

In the first(1st) part of the race displacement of Erica is

d1 = 5.2 miles at 25(twenty-five) deg North of East

x(ax) and y-component of 1st(first) part of the race will be:

d1 = 5.2*cos 25(twenty five) deg i + 5.2*sin 25(twenty five) deg j

d1 = (4.71 i + 2.20 j) miles (this id d1)

In the second(2nd) part of the race

d2 = 6(six) miles towards north,

So

d2 = (6 j) miles (this is d2)

Now net(accurate) displacement of Erica will be, Using Vector addition(summation):

d = d1(4.71 i + 2.20 j) + d2(6j)

d = (4.71 i + 2.20 j) +(sum) (6 j)

d = 4.71 i +(sum) 8.20 j

So Magnitude of net(accurate) displacement will be:

|d| = [tex]\sqrt{4.71^2+8.20^2}[/tex]

|d| = 9.46 miles(nine.four-six) = distance between starting(initial) point and ending point

How to solve for the domain

The domain refers to the values of x, from the equation we solve for the possible values that will not make the equation undefined.

For the equation to be undefined the denominator should be zero hence we solve for the value of x that will make the equation, to have a denominator equal to zero and the domain will be any other values of x except the value that gives the denominator equal to zero,

The denominator is 8-|3x-15|

solving for the value of x that gives the equation that makes the equation equal to zero

8-|3x-15| = 0

3x - 15 = -8

3x = -8 + 15
