Step-by-step explanation:

there are 50 students and 5 prizes (1 + 1 + 3).

so, already in natural language we would say "there is 1 prize for every 10 students".

formally, remember the rule of probability : desired outcomes over total possible outcomes.

this is here

5/50 = 1/10 = 0.1

your can see it also this way :

if there was only 1 prize, each student would have a chance of 1/50 of winning.

now there are 5 prizes, which gives everybody 5 times the chance of winning. which is then 5×1/50 = 5/50 = 0.1

Answer:

a = 7, b = $\frac{7\sqrt{3} }{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the sine ratio in the left right triangle and the exact value

sin45° = $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }$ , then

sin45° = $\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$ = $\frac{a}{7\sqrt{2} }$ = $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }$ ( cross- multiply )

a × $\sqrt{2}$ = 7 $\sqrt{2}$ ( divide both sides by $\sqrt{2}$ )

a = 7

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

Using the tangent ratio in the right triangle on the right and the exact value

tan60° = $\sqrt{3}$ , then

tan60° = $\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$ = $\frac{a}{b}$ = $\frac{7}{b}$ = $\sqrt{3}$ ( multiply both sides by b )

b × $\sqrt{3}$ = 7 ( divide both sides by $\sqrt{3}$ )

b = $\frac{7}{\sqrt{3} }$ × $\frac{\sqrt{3} }{\sqrt{3} }$ = $\frac{7\sqrt{3} }{3}$

The 2nd, 6th, 8th terms of an A.P. form a G.P. , find the common ratio and the general term of the G.P.

melisa1 [442]

The terms of an arithmetic progression, can form consecutive terms of a geometric progression.

The common ratio is: $\mathbf{r = \frac{a + 5d}{a + d}}$
The general term of the GP is: $\mathbf{a_n = (a + d) \times (\frac{a + 5d}{a + d})^{n-1}}$

The nth term of an AP is:

$\mathbf{T_n = a + (n - 1)d}$

So, the <em>2nd, 6th and 8th terms </em>of the AP are:

$\mathbf{T_2 = a + d}$

$\mathbf{T_6 = a + 5d}$

$\mathbf{T_8 = a + 7d}$

The <em>first, second and third terms </em>of the GP would be:

$\mathbf{a_1 = a + d}$

$\mathbf{a_2 = a + 5d}$

$\mathbf{a_3 = a + 7d}$

The common ratio (r) is calculated as:

$\mathbf{r = \frac{a_2}{a_1}}$

This gives

$\mathbf{r = \frac{a + 5d}{a + d}}$

The nth term of a GP is calculated using:

$\mathbf{a_n = a_1r^{n-1}}$

So, we have:

$\mathbf{a_n = (a + d) \times (\frac{a + 5d}{a + d})^{n-1}}$
