Answer:

  242/27

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula for the sum, you can fill in the given values and do the arithmetic.

  Sn = a1·(r^n -1)/(r -1)

  S5 = 6·((1/3)^5 -1)/(1/3 -1) = 6(-242/243)/(-2/3) = 6·(121/81)

  S5 = 242/27

_____

Or, you can write the terms and add them up. The sum is ...

  6 + 2 + 2/3 + 2/9 + 2/27 = (162 +54 +18 +6 +2)/27 = 242/27

A, first find the slope of the line shown, which is 2x+1
slope is rise/over run, with the y-intercept being on 1

When looking at rate of change, it's really just telling you to look at the slope and how steep it is. The more steeper it is, the higher the rate of change. (as close as it is to being a vertical line). Since the slope here is 2. Look for one that has a slope greater than 2, which is 3. Therefore the answer

A. 3x-1

PLEASE GUYS CAN SOMEONE HELP ME WITH THESE, POINTS TO THE KIND AND SMART PERSON TO ANSWER THESE SORT OF TEDIOUS QUESTIONS HELP A
MaRussiya [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

a. true

b. false (the arc angles are relative to the center of the circle)

c. true (as the central angle of a circle is twice any inscribed angle subtended by the same arc)

d. true (but note that the arc angle of YE is again measured via the center of the circle and twice as large as the angle S)

2.

EGS is an isoceles triangle (that means both legs are equally long).

remember the extended Pythagoras for general triangles :

c² = a² + b² - 2ab×cos(C)

c being the side opposite of the angle C.

let's say c is our long baseline, since we have is opposite angle 124°, and a = b = GE = GS, we have

3.8² = a² + a² - 2aa×cos(124) = 2a² - 2a²×cos(124) =

= 2a²(1 - cos(124))

2a² = 3.8²/(1 - cos(124))

a² = 3.8²/(2(1 - cos(124)))

a = GS = sqrt(3.8²/(2(1 - cos(124)))) =

= 2.151883096... ≈ 2.2 cm

3.

circumference

16pi = 2pi×r

r = 8

area = pi×r² = pi×8² = 64pi

yes, the statement is true.

4.

a half-circle has 180°.

the arc angel AD is a full half-circle (because AD is a diameter), so it is 180°.

the angle ACB is the arc angle AB = 40°. so, the arc angle BD must be the rest of the 180° = 180 - 40 = 140°.

5.

diameter = 50 ft.

so, the radius or distance from the center to the circle arc is 50/2 = 25 ft.

the length of a chord is

c = 2×sqrt(r² - d²)

with r being the radius, d being the distance of the chord from the center.

40 = 2×sqrt(25² - d²)

20 = sqrt(625 - d²)

400 = 625 - d²

-225 = -d²

225 = d²

d = 15 cm

so, the distance of the chord from the center is 15 cm.

6.

the arc angles RE and TS are equal. that means the arc lengths of RE and TS are equal.

and that means the arc lengths of RS and ET are equal. the chords between 2 points on a circle must have the same length, when the arc lengths between these 2 points are the same.

7.

they are equally long.

as we saw in 5., the length of a chord depends on the radius of the circle and the distance of the chord from the center.

since both chords are in the same circle (with the same radius), and they both have the same distance from the center, they can only be equally long, as there is no other element to name them different.

8.

the angle NPE is half of the angle NAE (= the arc angle NE).

the arc angle NE = 63×2 = 126°

the angle PET is half of the angle PAT (= the arc angle PT).

the arc angle PT = 19×2 = 38°

the arcs NP and ET cover the rest of the whole circle circumference (360°).

so, arc angle NP + arc angle ET = 360 - 38 - 126 = 196°

but arc angles NP and ET must be equal (as per the problem definition).

therefore, 2 equal arc angles = 196°

1 arc angle = NP = 196/2 = 98°

For the population of all college students currently taking a statistics course, you want to estimate the proportion who are wom
inessss [21]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

To estimate population proportion from a sample, we must ensure that the sample data is random. Though a simple random sample of college students from a particular college was used as the sample data. However, selection of the college should have been randomized as well, a stratified random sample would have been a better sampling method whereby certain colleges are selected based on region or other criteria and then a random sample of it's statistics students selected. The sample proportion Obtian from a sample of this nature will be more representative of the population proportion of all college statistic student.

Can anybody help me w this?​
Ratling [72]

Answer:

12.62 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a circle = πr²

Area = 125m²

Hence:

125m² = πr²

r² = 125m²/π

r = √125m²/π

Hence,

r =√ 39.788735773

r = 6.3078313051 m

Diameter = Radius × 2

Therefore, Diameter of one circle is

= 6.3078313051 m × 2

= 12.61566261m

Approximately = 12.62 m
