Using equations to solve the word problem, Katherine's age is 8 years

<h3>Word Problem</h3>

Word problem are often mathematical problem that are represented in words and sometimes can be solved using an equation.

To solve this problem, we have to represent the problem using mathematical equations;

Let;

Katherine's age = x²

Alexandra = 5(x + 1)

Sum of their age = 109

5(x + 1) + x² = 109

5x + 5 + x² = 109

x² + 5x - 104 = 0

Solving for the equation; x = 8

Katherine's age is 8

Evaluate the geometric series. Please help me out!!!

vredina [299]

Answer:

- 1364

Step-by-step explanation:

The n th term of a geometric series is

$a_{n}$ = a $(r)^{n-1}$

where a is the first term and r the common ratio

4 $(-2)^{n-1}$ ← is an n th term

with a = 4 and r = - 2

The sum to n terms of a geometric series is

$S_{n}$ = $\frac{a(r^{n}-1) }{r-1}$ , thus

$S_{10}$ = $\frac{4((-2)^{10}-1) }{-2-1}$

= $\frac{4(1024-1)}{-2-1}$

= $\frac{4(1023)}{-3}$

= $\frac{4092}{-3}$

= - 1364

Solve by completing squares method...1/x +1/x -1 =4...please answer ASAP

maxonik [38]

Answer:

1.31, 0.19 to nearest hundredth.

Step-by-step explanation:

1/x + 1/(x - 1) = 4

Multiply through by x(x - 1):-

x - 1 + x = 4x(x - 1)

4x^2 - 4x = 2x - 1

4x^2 - 6x = -1

4(x^2 - 3.2 x) = -1

Completing the square:-

4 [ ( x - 3/4)^2 - 9/16] = -1

4(x - 3/4)^2 - 9/4 = -1

4(x - 3/4)^2 = 5/4

(x - 3/4)^2 = 5/16

x - 3/4 = +/- √5 / 4

x = √5 / 4 + 3/4 , -√5 / 4 + 3/4

= 1.31, 0.19 to nearest hundredth.
