Answer:

81

Step-by-step explanation:

let the terms be a,ar,ar²

r=2/3

a+a(2/3)+a(2/3)²=171

multiply by 9

9a+6a+4a=171×9

19 a=171×9

a=(171×9)/(19)

a=9×9=81

S_n=\dfrac{b_1(q^n-1)}{q-1} \\q=\dfrac{2}{3} , b_1=x, n=3, S_n=171

Let's find b₁

171=\dfrac{x((\dfrac{2}{3})^3-1) }{\dfrac{2}{3}-1 } \\\\\\171=x*(-\dfrac{19}{27} )*(-3) \\171=\dfrac{19}{9} x\\x=171*\dfrac{9}{19} \\x=81

Answer: b₁=81

ololo11 [35]
No, they forgot to switch variable labels after solving for the independent variable...

y=-8x+4

y-4=-8x

(y-4)/-8=x 

Now that you have solved for the independent variable x, you switch the variable labels...

y=(x-4)/-8

f^-1(x)=(x-4)/-8     which should really be rewritten as:

f^-1(x)=(4-x)/8  :P

A student is making cookies for a bake sale. He sells 8 snickerdoodles and 12 chocolate chip
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

Snickerdoodles are 0.22$ each and chocolate chip are 0.43$ each

Step-by-step explanation:

using the information in the problem, you can make 2 separate equations: 8x+12y=6.92 and 5x+5y=3.25, let x= the cost of a snickerdoodle and y= the cost of a chocolate chip cookie.

With the 2 equations, we can isolate the y variable of the first equation and simplify which will give us y= -2/3x +6.92/12.

You can now take that equation and plug it into equation number 2:

5x+5(-2/3x + 6.92/12)=3.25.

solve that equation by multiplying 5 through the brackets: 5x-10/3x+34.6/12=3.25

add common terms: 5/3x=4.4/12

find the value of x, you will get x=0.22

plug the value of x (0.22) into one of your equations and solve for the y-value

Line GJ is tangent to point A at point G.<br><br> If AG = 9 and GJ = 12, find AJ.
svlad2 [7]
Okay we know that tangent-chords creat 90 degree angles so what we have is a right triangle with a base of 9 and a height of 12, so do Pythoagoreas Theorem and we have 81+144=225 square root of 225 is 15 and that is AJ
