Answer:
11/15 < 4/5
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 5/6 = 10/12, so the first answer is not correct
2. 1/4 = 4/16, so the second answer is not correct
3. 3/4 = 9/12 and 4/6 = 8/12, so the third answer is not correct
4. 4/5 = 12/15 > 11/15, so this answer is correct
Answers:
x = -8/5 or x = 8/5
Sum of the first ten terms where all terms are positive = 4092
========================================================
Explanation:
r = common ratio
- first term = 4
- second term = (first term)*(common ratio) = 4r
- third term = (second term)*(common ratio) = (4r)*r = 4r^2
The first three terms are: 4, 4r, 4r^2
We're given that the sequence is: 4, 5x, 16
Therefore, we have these two equations
Solve the second equation for r and you should find that r = -2 or r = 2 are the only possible solutions. If r = -2, then 5x = 4r solves to x = -8/5. If r = 2, then 5x = 4r solves to x = 8/5.
-----------------
To find the sum of the first n terms, we use this geometric series formula
Sn = a*(1 - r^n)/(1 - r)
We have
- a = 4 = first term
- r = 2, since we want all the terms to be positive
- n = 10 = number of terms to sum up
So,
Sn = a*(1 - r^n)/(1 - r)
S10 = 4*(1 - 2^10)/(1 - 2)
S10 = 4*(1 - 1024)/(-1)
S10 = 4*(-1023)/(-1)
S10 = 4092
Answer:
The system is consistent because the rightmost column of the augmented matrix is not a pivot column.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that the coefficient of the matrix of a linear equation has a pivot position in every row.
It is provided by the Existence and Uniqueness theorem that linear system is said to be consistent when only the column in the rightmost of the matrix which is augmented is not a pivot column.
When the linear system is considered consistent, then every solution set consists of either unique solution where there will be no any variables which are free or infinitely many solutions, when there is at least one free variable. This explains why the system is consistent.
For any m x n augmented matrix of any system, if its co-efficient matrix has a pivot position in every row, then there will never be a row of the form [0 .... 0 b].
Multiply the two as area is base times height.
