The Tangent Line Problem 1/3How do you find the slope of the tangent line to a function at a point Q when you only have that one point? This Demonstration shows that a secant line can be used to approximate the tangent line. The secant line PQ connects the point of tangency to another point P on the graph of the function. As the distance between the two points decreases, the secant line becomes closer to the tangent line.

Is second term of a geometric series is 48 and it's fifth term is 6 then find the sum of the first 6 terms.

AlekseyPX

Answer:

the sum of the first 6 terms =189

Step-by-step explanation:

the first 6 terms-

96,48,24,12,6,3

I found them easily by dividing 48 with random small numbers until I got 6 for the fifth term. So here I divided 48 by 2 which is = 24(3rd term), then divided 24 by 2 which is =12(4th term) and then again decide the answer by 2 and finally got 6 for the 5th term. So the ratio is 1/2. For the first term I did the opposite, multiply 48 by 2 which is = 96. And lastly find the sixth term and add them up which is = 189

I tried my best to explain it in simple terms, hope this helps:)

Mel used partial quotients to find the quotient of 378 divided by 3.What could be the partial quotient that Mel found?

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

The partial quotients are 100, 20 and 6. The quotient is 126.

Step-by-step explanation:

The dividend is 378 and the divisor is 3.

First find the factors of 3, near to 300.

$3\times 1=3$

$3\times 10=30$

$3\times 100=300$

The value 300 is less than 378, so record the partial quotient 100 and subtract 300 from 378. Repeat the same process until the dividend has been zero.

Now the remaining divide is 78.

First find the factors of 3, near to 78.

$3\times 20=60$
