Answer:

900 coins

Step-by-step explanation:

The Wiseman demands 1 gold coin for the 1st day, then 3 gold coins for the 2nd day, then 5 gold coins for the 3rd day and it continues for 30 days in this pattern.

Therefore, the total number of gold coins that he gets will be,  

1+ 3+ 5+ ..... up to 30 terms.

This is an A.P. series with the first term(a) 1 and a common difference(d) 2 and the number of terms(n) 30.

Hence, the sum of the A.P. series is given by \frac{n}{2} [2a+(n-1)d]

= \frac{30}{2} [2*1+(30-1)*2]

= 900 coins (Answer)

Answer:

\frac{(a+b)}{a^{2} -b^{2}  } + \frac{(a-b)}{a^{2} -b^{2}  } = \frac{2a}{a^{2} -b^{2}  }

25) Margie needs to borrow $9,000 from a local bank. The
azamat

Answer:

B) $3060.00

Step-by-step explanation:

8.5% of 9,000 equals 765, then 765 multiplied by 4 equals 3060.

I think that it will take Margie 4 years to pay back the bank. And the interest rate that the bank charges is 8.5% per month.

I'm not sure if this is correct

With reference to the figure, sin X equals?<br> 1.) 0.250<br> 2.)0.447<br> 3.)0.894<br> 4.)1
Flura [38]

Answer:

3.) 0.894

Step-by-step explanation:

✔️First, find BD using Pythagorean Theorem:

BD² = BC² - DC²

BC = 17.89

DC = 16

Plug in the values

BD² = 17.89² - 16²

BD² = 64.0521

BD = √64.0521

BD = 8.0 (nearest tenth)

✔️Next, find AD using the right triangle altitude theorem:

BD = √(AD*DC)

Plug in the values into the equation

8 = √(AD*16)

Square both sides

8² = AD*16

64 = AD*16

Divide both sides by 16

4 = AD

AD = 4

✔️Find AB using Pythagorean Theorem:

AB = √(BD² + AD²)

AB = √(8² + 4²)

AB = √(64 + 16)

AB = √(80)

AB = 8.9 (nearest tenth)

✔️Find sin x using trigonometric ratio formula:

Reference angle = x

Opposite side = BD = 8

Hypotenuse = AB = 8.944

Thus:

sin(x) = \frac{opp}{hyp} = \frac{8}{8.944} = 0.894 (nearest thousandth)

First term (a₁):  <u>1033 </u>          Common difference (d): <u>-101 </u>

Explicit rule:  a_{n} = 1134 - 101n    Recursive rule: a_{n} = a_{n-1} - 101

a_{n} = a_{1} + d(n - 1)

a_{n} = 1033 - 101(n - 1)

a_{n} = 1033 - 101n + 101

a_{n} = 1134 - 101n

First term (a₁):  <u> -39  </u>          Common difference (d): <u> +10  </u>

Explicit rule:  a_{n} = -49 + 10n    Recursive rule: a_{n} = a_{n-1} + 10

a_{n} = a_{1} + d(n - 1)

a_{n} = -39 + 10(n - 1)

a_{n} = -39 + 10n - 10

a_{n} = -49 + 10n

First term (a₁):  <u> 3.75  </u>          Common difference (d): <u> -1.25  </u>

Explicit rule:  a_{n} = 5 - 1.25n    Recursive rule: a_{n} = a_{n-1} - 1.25

a_{n} = a_{1} + d(n - 1)

a_{n} = 3.75 - 1.25(n - 1)

a_{n} = 3.75 - 1.25n + 1.25

a_{n} = 5 - 1.25n
