Find the 14th term of the geometric sequence 5,-10,20

Answers

Answer 1

In this specific case, the initial term (a) is 5 and the common ratio (r) is -2

Henceforth, after determining what a and r are, we use the formula for the nth term. Which is:

[tex]a_n = a \times r^{n-1} [/tex]

Therefore, the 14th term is :

[tex]\implies 5 \times { (- 2)}^{14 - 1} \\\implies 5 \times {( - 2)}^{13} \\ =\boxed { -40,960} [/tex]

Hope it helps!

Students working at a refreshment stand mixed cranberry juice at $0.50 per liter and apple juice at $0.35 per liter to make 120 L of a fruit drink worth $0.40 per liter. How many liters of each did they mix?​

Answers

Answer:

40 L cranberry juice; 80 L apple juice

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = number of liters of cranberry juice.

The total volume is 120 L, so the volume of apple juice is

120 - x.

The value of the cranberry juice is 0.5x.

The value of the apple juice is 0.35(120 - x).

The value of the mixture is 0.4(120) = 48

The value of the cranberry juice plus the value of the apple juice equals the value of the mixture.

0.5x + 0.35(120 - x) = 48

0.5x + 42 - 0.35x = 48

0.15x = 6

x = 6/0.15

x = 40

120 - x = 120 - 40 = 80

Answer: 40 L cranberry juice; 80 L apple juice

How many solutions does the system of equations have?
y=-2x+3
y = x² - 6x +3

Answers

Answer:

2 solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

y = - 2x + 3 → (1)

y = x² - 6x + 3 → (2)

substitute y = x² - 6x + 3 into (1)

x² - 6x + 3 = - 2x + 3 ( subtract - 2x + 3 from both sides )

x² - 4x = 0 ← factor out x from each term on the left side

x(x - 4) = 0

equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x = 0

x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4

substitute these values into (1)

x = 0 : y = - 2(0) + 3 = 0 + 3 = 3 ⇒ (0, 3 )

x = 4 : y = - 2(4) + 3 = - 8 + 3 = - 5 ⇒ (4, - 5 )

the 2 solutions are (0, 3 ) and (4, - 5 )

When one event's occurrence or non-occurrence doesn't affect the occurrence or non-occurrence of another event, then such events are called independent events. The correct options are A and B.

Which pair of events are called independent events?

When one event's occurrence or non-occurrence doesn't affect the occurrence or non-occurrence of another event, then such events are called independent events.

Symbolically, we have:

Two events A and B are said to be independent iff we have:

[tex]P(A \cap B) = P(A)P(B)[/tex]

Comparing it with chain rule will give

[tex]P(A|B) = P(A)\\P(B|A) = P(B)[/tex]

Thus, showing that whether one occurred or not, the other one doesn't care about it (independence).

Two events are known to be independent even if the result of one event does not affect the result of the second event.

Rolling a dice in an independent event and choosing a blue marble is another independent event. The two events are independent and the result of one does not affect the other.

Thus, A is correct.

Rolling a dice in an independent event, and rolling it again won't affect the result of the second roll. Therefore, rolling a dice twice or for n number of times is an independent event.

Thus, B is correct.

Hence, the correct options are A and B.

Step-by-step explanation:

there are 2 similar triangles : ABE and DCE

that means they have the same angles, and the scaling factor from one triangle to the other is the same for every side.

and that means that

DE/AE = EC/BE (= DC/AB)

we know that

AE = AD + DE

BE = BC + EC

a.

so, we have actually

DE/(AD+DE) = EC/(BC+EC)

DE/(10+DE) = 8/(2+8) = 8/10 = 4/5

DE = 4(10+DE)/5

5DE = 4(10+DE) = 40 + 4DE

DE = 40 cm

b.

AD/DE = 3/5

BC/EC must be 3/5 too.

15/EC = 3/5

Answer:

x = 20  ∠B = 92°  ∠C = 40°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of angles of a triangle is 180°.

48 +(6x -28) +2x = 180

8x +20 = 180

8x = 160

x = 20

∠B = (6x -28)° = (6*20 -28)° = 92°

∠C = 2x° = 40°

Answer

X= 20

m<B = 92°

m <C = 40°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of angles in a triangle = 180°

So, 48 + 6x-28 +2x = 180

8x+20= 180

8x = 160

So x= 160/8 = 20

Substitute x in the equations:

m<B= 6×20-28= 92°

m<C = 2×20 = 40°
