Answer:

5:4

Step-by-step explanation:

If point B divides the segment AC in the ratio 2:1, then

AB=2x units and BC=x units.

If point D divides the segment AB in the ratio 3:2, then

AD=3y units and DB=2y units.

Since AD+DB=AB, then

3y+2y=2x\\ \\5y=2x\\ \\y=\dfrac{2}{5}x

Now,

AD=3y\\ \\DC=DB+BC=2y+x=2y+\dfrac{2}{5}y=\dfrac{12}{5}y

So,

AD:DC=3y:\dfrac{12}{5}y=15:12=5:4

Answer:

AD:DC=6:9

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

AB:BC=2:1

AD:DB=3:2

We can conclude that:

AB+BC=AC

Then:

AB=2/3AC

BC=1/3AC

AD+DB=AB

Then

AD=3/5AB

DB=2/5AB

From the above we can replace:

AD=(3/5)(2/3AC)=6/15AC

On the other hand:

DC= DB+BC

DC=2/5AB+1/3AC

In terms of AC

DC=((2/5)(2/3AC))+1/3AC=4/15AC+1/3AC

DC=27/45AC=9/15AC

From:

AD=6/15AC

DC=9/15AC

we can say that:

AD:DC=6:9

Write an equation for the nth term of the arithmetic sequence.
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

<h3>              \bold{a_n=6n-3}\\\\\bold{a_{50}=297} </h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

3, 9, 15, 21,  ...

9-3 = 6;   15-9 = 6;   21-15 = 6   ⇒  d = 6

first term:  a = 3

difference:  d = 6

so the formula:

                         a_n=a+d(n-1)\\\\a_n=69+6(n-1)\\\\a_n =3+6n-6\\\\\underline{a_n=6n-3}                        

and:

   a_{50}=6\cdot50-3=300-3=297
