Term:    3     4      5
 Value  20    ..      5
            20  20r  20r^2
So 20r^2 = 5
         r^2 = 1/4
           r  =  1/2

Help, I tried it, but I keep getting the wrong answers
Aneli [31]

Answer:

my answer would be that

x = 17.91cm

(i'm not sure about it either but it's worth a try) !!

Step-by-step explanation:

so first off, using the equation given,

" c² = a² + b² — 2ab cos C "

we substitute the values in as,

a = 16

b = 30

then for C is the angle given, which is 30°

so the equation is now,

c² = (16)² + (30)² — 2(16)(30) cos 30°

now, you solve the two squared numbers and the back equation, also known as " 2ab cos C " with your scientific calculator.

so it now equals to,

c² = 256 + 900 — 960(0.87)

c² = 320.8

at last, when you have " c² = 320.8 " ,

remember to square root the answer so you have a smaller value.

so,

c equals to

\sqrt{320.8}

your final answer for the x value will be 17.91

(i hope this helps!)

Estimating percents 19% of 72<br><br> Pleas explain how because I don’t understand this
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

13.68

Step-by-step explanation:

72 * 0.19 = 13.68

19% can be converted to 19/100 or .19 to change out of a percentage. .19 is the multiplied by 72 to find 19% of 72.

For example

a fourth of something is the same as 25%.

if you want to find 1/4 of 8 you would multiply 8 by 1/4.

It is a similar concept with percentages.

Which calculation should be used to calculate s9 for the arithmetic sequence an=3n-1
Ganezh [65]

Answer: Choice A

S9 = (9/2)*(2+26)

===============================================

The formula is

Sn = (n/2)*(a1+an)

where

Sn = sum of the first n terms (nth partial sum)

n = number of terms

a1 = first term

an = nth term

In this case,

n = 9

a1 = 2 (plug in n = 1 into the formula an = 3n-1 and simplify)

an = a9 = 26 (plug n = 9 into the formula an = 3n-1 and simplify)

So,

Sn = (n/2)*(a1+an)

S9 = (9/2)*(2+26)

will help us find the sum of the first 9 terms of this arithmetic sequence
