Answer: the 10th term is - 5120

Step-by-step explanation:

In a geometric sequence, consecutive terms differ by a common ratio.

The formula for determining the nth term of a geometric progression is expressed as

an = a1r^(n - 1)

Where

a1 represents the first term of the sequence.

r represents the common ratio.

n represents the number of terms.

From the information given,

a1 = 10

r = - 20/10 = 40/ - 20 = - 2

n = 10

The 10th term, T10 is

T10 = 10 × - 2^(10 - 1)

T10 = 10 × - 2^9

T10 = 10 × - 512

T10 = - 5120

Answer:

Part 1) $-17\frac{8}{9}$ -----> $-6\frac{4}{9}-3\frac{2}{9}-8\frac{2}{9}$

Part 2) $-15.11$ ------> $-12.48-(-2.99)-5.62$

Part 3) $-19\frac{8}{9}$ -----> $-19\frac{2}{9}-4\frac{1}{9}-(-3\frac{4}{9})$

Part 4) $-201.65$ -----> $-353.92-(-283.56)-131.29$

Part 5) $74$ ------> $83\frac{1}{5}-108\frac{2}{5}-(-99\frac{1}{5})$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) we have

$-6\frac{4}{9}-3\frac{2}{9}-8\frac{2}{9}$

To calculate the subtraction convert the mixed numbers to an improper fractions

$6\frac{4}{9}=\frac{6*9+4}{9}=\frac{58}{9}$

$3\frac{2}{9}=\frac{3*9+2}{9}=\frac{29}{9}$

$8\frac{2}{9}=\frac{8*9+2}{9}=\frac{74}{9}$

substitute

$-\frac{58}{9}-\frac{29}{9}-\frac{74}{9}=-\frac{(58+29+74)}{9}=-\frac{161}{9}$

Convert to mixed number

$-\frac{161}{9}=-(\frac{153}{9}+\frac{8}{9})=-17\frac{8}{9}$

Part 2) we have

$-12.48-(-2.99)-5.62$

To calculate the subtraction eliminate the parenthesis first

$-12.48-(-2.99)-5.62=-12.48+2.99-5.62=-15.11$

Part 3) we have

$-19\frac{2}{9}-4\frac{1}{9}-(-3\frac{4}{9})$

To calculate the subtraction convert the mixed numbers to an improper fractions

$19\frac{2}{9}=\frac{19*9+2}{9}=\frac{173}{9}$

$4\frac{1}{9}=\frac{4*9+1}{9}=\frac{37}{9}$

$3\frac{4}{9}=\frac{3*9+4}{9}=\frac{31}{9}$

substitute

$-\frac{173}{9}-\frac{37}{9}-(-\frac{31}{9})$

Eliminate the parenthesis

$-\frac{173}{9}-\frac{37}{9}+\frac{31}{9}=\frac{(-173-37+31)}{9}=-\frac{179}{9}$

Convert to mixed number

$-\frac{179}{9}=-(\frac{171}{9}+\frac{8}{9})=-19\frac{8}{9}$

Part 4) we have

$-353.92-(-283.56)-131.29$

To calculate the subtraction eliminate the parenthesis first

$-353.92+283.56-131.29=-201.65$

Part 5) we have

$83\frac{1}{5}-108\frac{2}{5}-(-99\frac{1}{5})$

To calculate the subtraction convert the mixed numbers to an improper fractions

$83\frac{1}{5}=\frac{83*5+1}{5}=\frac{416}{5}$

$108\frac{2}{5}=\frac{108*5+2}{5}=\frac{542}{5}$

$99\frac{1}{5}=\frac{99*5+1}{5}=\frac{496}{5}$

substitute

$\frac{416}{5}-\frac{542}{5}-(-\frac{496}{5})$

Eliminate the parenthesis

$\frac{416}{5}-\frac{542}{5}+\frac{496}{5}=\frac{(416-542+496)}{5}=\frac{370}{5}=74$

GIVING BRAINLIEST ANSWER QUICK!!

Art [367]

Answer:

1. Fala can paint more than one whole step

2. She can paint 3 steps

Step-by-step explanation:

1. In the second question we found that she has enough for 3 steps and 3 is more than 1 so she can paint more than one step

2. 6/4=12/8 so she has 12/8 quarts and needs 4/8 for each step

Divide 12 by 4 = 3 So she has enough paint for 3 steps

Julli [10]

Answer:

a) $z =\frac{104-106}{\sqrt{\frac{8.4^2}{80} +\frac{7.6^2}{70}}}= -1.53$

b) $p_v =2*P(z$

c) Since the p value is higher than the significance level provided we have enogh evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and we can't conclude that the true means are different at 5% of significance

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

$\bar X_{1}= 104$ represent the mean for 1

$\bar X_{2}= 106$ represent the mean for 2

$\sigma_{1}= 8.4$ represent the population standard deviation for 1

$\sigma_{2}= 7.6$ represent the population standard deviation for 2

$n_{1}=80$ sample size for the group 1

$n_{2}=70$ sample size for the group 2

z would represent the statistic

Hypothesis to test

We want to check if the two means for this case are equal or not, the system of hypothesis would be:

H0: $\mu_{1}=\mu_{2}$

H1: $\mu_{1} \neq \mu_{2}$

The statistic would be given by:

$z =\frac{\bar X_1-\bar X_2}{\sqrt{\frac{\sigma^2_1^2}{n_1} +\frac{\sigma^2_2^2}{n_2}}}=$ (1)

Part a

Replacing we got:

$z =\frac{104-106}{\sqrt{\frac{8.4^2}{80} +\frac{7.6^2}{70}}}= -1.53$

Part b

The p value would be given by this probability:

$p_v =2*P(z$

Part c

Since the p value is higher than the significance level provided we have enogh evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and we can't conclude that the true means are different at 5% of significance

Simplify the following question

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

<em>− 2sin(b) / cos(2b)</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

DIFFERENTIATE W.R.T. B is a different method entirely

We simply add together the numerators and set with 2cos

then keep this number and add to sinb and square it.

then repeat initial 2 + cosb ^2 but instead of multiplying its add.

Then set the whole division to -sin (2b) squared then +1

<em> − 2cos(b)(3(sin(b))^2+(cos(b))^2) / −(sin(2b)) ^2 +1 </em>

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

60.0735651 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

So the hypotenuse is 50 and the vertical leg is 13

For the angle, you need to find the sine (opposite and hypotenuse)

sin(x) = 13/50

x = asin(13/50)

x = 60.0735651
