Find the 10th term of the geometric sequence whose common ratio is 1/2
and whose first term is 5.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex] {10}^{th} \: term = \frac{5}{512} [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

geometric progression formula:

[tex] {n}^{th} \: term = ar ^{n - 1} [/tex]

given:

common ratio, r = 1/2

[tex]first \: term \: = 5[/tex]

1) find the value of a

[tex] {n}^{th} \: term \: = a {r}^{n - 1} [/tex]

we're finding the 1st term, so substitute 1 into n:

[tex] {1}^{st} \: term = a( \frac{1}{2} ) {}^{1 - 1} [/tex]

first term is 5. so we substitute 5 into the equation:

[tex]5 = a(1)[/tex]

[tex]a = 5[/tex]

2) find the 10th term

we're finding the 10th term, so substitute 10 into the equation and don't forget to substitute 5 into a:

[tex] {10}^{th} \: term = 5( \frac{1}{2} ) {}^{10 - 1} [/tex]

[tex] {10}^{th} \: term = 5( \frac{1}{512} )[/tex]

[tex] {10}^{th} \: term = \frac{5}{512} [/tex]

A painter needs to paint the bottom of a circular pool. The pool has a radius of 30 feet. A store sells 5-gallon cans of paint. One gallon of paint covers 300 square feet. What is the smallest number of 5-gallon cans the painter must buy to cover the bottom of the pool? Explain or show your reasoning.

Answers

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

the area of the radius 30 is 2827 and since 1 bucket can cover 1800 we will only need 2 buckets because we need a total of 2827 and 1 bucket covers 1800 so 2 buckets will cover 3600.

The smallest number of 5-gallon cans the painter must buy to cover the bottom of the pool is 2 and this can be determined by using the unitary method.

Given :

A painter needs to paint the bottom of a circular pool. The pool has a radius of 30 feet. A store sells 5-gallon cans of paint.A store sells 5-gallon cans of paint. One gallon of paint covers 300 square feet.

First, find the value of the area of the bottom of the pool. And it can be determined by using the below formula:

[tex]\rm Area = \pi r^2[/tex]

Area = 2827.43 square feet

Now, if one gallon of paint covers 300 square feet then 2837.43 square feet area covers by:

[tex]=\dfrac{2827.44}{300}\times 1[/tex]

= 9.43 gallons of paint

So, to cover the whole bottom area of the pool with paint then the amount of paint required is 9.43 gallons.

Now, if one can contain 5 gallons of paint then 9.43 gallons of paint is contained by :

[tex]=\dfrac{9.43}{5}[/tex]

= 1.886 [tex]\approx[/tex] 2

The smallest number of 5-gallon cans the painter must buy to cover the bottom of the pool is 2.

If a 5-foot man casts a 6-foot shadow, how tall is a tree that casts a

Answers

28.8 foot shadow

Step-by-step explanation:

to do that, you would have to make proportionate fractions. That would mean that you do 5/6 = 24/x. Then you would just cross multiply to get 5x = 144. Then you would divide to isolate x. That would give you 28.8

The cost of a babysitting service on a cruise is $10 for the first hour and $12 for each additional hour. If the total cost of

babysitting baby Aaron was $58, how many hours was Aaron at the sitter?


12x+10=58

10x+12=58


12x-58=10


10x+58=12

Answers

Answer:  Aaron was at the sitter for 5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

12x + 10 = 58

the 12x is for each hour after the first hour and the 10 is the first hour

-10 from each side

12x = 48

/12

x = 4

4 additional hours plus the original hour

Answer: 12x+10=58

Explanation: $10 is the flat rate, so it only applies to one of the hours. It is not being multiplied by anything. Her hourly rate after that is $12 meanings the amount of money she makes depends on how many hours she works which is x. $58 is the end result so that is what the equation equals.

solve for x
3(x - 2) = 6x - 12

Answers

Answer:

The answer is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's how I got it:

3(x - 2) = 6x - 12

Multiply 3 times x and 3 times 2, this is what you would get

3x - 6 = 6x - 12

Then, subtract the lowest x with the bigger X, this way you would have x on one side:

3x - 6 = 6x - 12

-3x        -3x

This is what you should have after this:

-6 = 3x - 12

Now, to get the variable (letter that represents a number) by itself, you have to add 12 to both sides like this:

-6 = 3x - 12

+12        +12

You would get this:

6 = 3x

Finally, you have to get x by itself, so you have to divide 3 on both sides like this

6/3 = 3/3 x

That's why, your answer is 2

17. Write a rational function in expanded form that satisfies the
following criteria:
• V.A. x=2
• SI.A y =5x-1
• Zero of function (-1,0)

pls help thank you<3

Answers

Answer:

[tex]f(x) = \frac{5x^2 + 4x - 1}{x - 2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

VA; [tex]x = 2[/tex]

SLA: [tex]y = 5x - 1[/tex]

Zero of function: [tex](-1,0)[/tex]

Required

Determine the rational function in expanded form

Analyzing the vertical asymptote

The vertical asymptote is given as:

[tex]x = 2[/tex]

Subtract 2 from both sides

[tex]x - 2 = 2 - 2[/tex]

[tex]x - 2 = 0[/tex]

This means that the denominator must be [tex]x - 2[/tex]

Analyzing the zero of the function

The zero of the function is given as: [tex](-1,0)[/tex]

This means that [tex]x = -1[/tex], when [tex]y = 0[/tex]

Equate [tex]x = -1[/tex] to 0 by add 1 to both sides

[tex]x + 1 =- 1 + 1[/tex]

[tex]x + 1 =0[/tex]

This means that one of the numerators must be [tex]x + 1[/tex]

Analyzing the slant asymptote:

[tex]y = 5x - 1[/tex]

This means that one of the numerators must be [tex]5x - 1[/tex]

Hence, the function is:

[tex]f(x) = \frac{(5x - 1)(x+1)}{x - 2}[/tex]

Expand the numerator

[tex]f(x) = \frac{5x^2 + 5x - x - 1}{x - 2}[/tex]

[tex]f(x) = \frac{5x^2 + 4x - 1}{x - 2}[/tex]

A bag of coins contains only quarters and dimes.
• The number of dimes in the bag can be represented by x.
• The number of quarters is 6 more than twice the number of dimes.
• There are a total of 276 coins in the bag.
What is x, the number of dimes in the bag?

helpp pls​

Answers

Answer:

Number of dimes in the bag = 90

Number of quarters in the bag = 186

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = Number of dimes in the bag

y = Number of quarters in the bag

= 2x + 6

Total = 276

276 = x + 2x + 6

276 = 3x + 6

276 - 6 = 3x

270 = 3x

x = 270/3

= 90

x = 90

Number of dimes in the bag = 90

Number of quarters in the bag = 2x + 6

= 2(90) + 6

=180 + 6

= 186

Total = Number of dimes in the bag + Number of quarters

= 90 + 186

= 276

Answers

Answer:

The number of sweets each friend gets = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of sweets s that each friend gets = the number of sweets in a box n ÷ number of friends f the sweets are shared between

s = n ÷ f

s = n/ f

if there are 60 sweets and 12 friends.

That is,

n = 60 sweets

f = 12 friends

Find s,

s = n/ f

= 60 / 12

= 5

s = 5 sweets

The number of sweets each friend gets = 5
