The formula for a geometric sequence is an = a1 * r^n-1. For this problem, our formula can be an = 1 * 5^n-1. a1 is our first term, and r is the common ratio.
To check our formula, we can find the 5th term. a5 = 1 * 5^5-1. This gives us 625. If we look at our last term provided, the 4th term, 125 * 5 is 625.
Answer:
The quotient will be less than 34
Step-by-step explanation:
When we talk of quotient, we are simply referring to the result of division.
Now, let’s divide 78 by 34, our answer is 2 10/34. The answer is slightly above two which in all terms is really less than 34.
So the correct answer to our question is that the quotient will be less than 34
I’m not sure on this question but if you plug it into the calculator it says it is X = 1123.59551
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangles are set up so we see that angle A and angle D are congruent. We also know that, by the definition of vertical angles, angles CED and BEA are congruent. That means, by the Triangle Angle-Sum Theorem, that angles C and B are also congruent. That does NOT mean, however, that the triangles are congruent because their corresponding side lengths are not the same. What it does mean is that the triangles are similar. If we were to pull them apart and set them next to each other, our triangle similarity statement would be that ΔECD ~ ΔEBA. That means that their corresponding sides exist in proportion to one another. Namely, side ED is proportional to side EA, and side CD is proportional to side BA. That's all we need to find the length of BA, the distance across the lake. The proportion is set up like this:
and fill in the distances:
Cross multiply to solve for BA:
400BA = 420000 so
BA = 1050 feet
