Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

there is a common ratio between consecutive terms , that is

- 12 ÷ - 3 = - 48 ÷ - 12 = - 192 ÷ - 48 = 4

this indicates the sequence is geometric with nth term

$a_{n}$ = a₁ $r^{n-1}$

where a₁ is the first term and r the common ratio

here a₁ = - 3 and r = 4 , then

a₈ = - 3 × $4^{7}$ = - 3 × 16,384 = - 49,152

Trigonometric problems.<br><br> Could someone help me with this? I’m confused.

Oduvanchick [21]

the answer is a) 0.29 bc of SOHCAHTOA if u didn’t learn this then i can see why u were confused but it’s asking for tan which is TOA tan= opposite/adjacent so look for T and find the opposite of that angle which would be 7 and the adjacent would be the number next to it which is 24 so do 7/24 and u get 0.29

Select True or false for each statement

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

False

True

False

False

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We have to get the sum as follows :

$3\frac{4}{9} + 4\frac{6}{9}$

= $\frac{31}{9} + \frac{42}{9}$

= $\frac{31 + 42}{9}$

= $\frac{73}{9}$

= $8\frac{1}{9} \neq 7\frac{1}{9}$

So, this is false.

2. We have to get the sum as follows :

$4\frac{5}{6} + 1\frac{3}{6}$

= $\frac{29}{6} + \frac{9}{6}$

= $\frac{29 + 9}{6}$

= $\frac{38}{6}$

= $6\frac{2}{6}$

So, this is true.

3. We have to get the difference as follows :

$4\frac{5}{8} - 2\frac{4}{8}$

= $\frac{37}{8} - \frac{20}{8}$

= $\frac{37 - 20}{8}$

= $\frac{17}{8}$

= $2\frac{1}{8} \neq 2\frac{3}{8}$

So, this is false.

4. We have to get the difference as follows :

$7\frac{5}{8} - 4\frac{2}{8}$

= $\frac{61}{8} - \frac{34}{8}$

= $\frac{61 - 34}{8}$

= $\frac{27}{8}$

= $3\frac{3}{8} \neq 3$

So, this is also false. (Answer)
