Answer:

QR = 6.8

XZ = 16.25

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use ratios to solve since the triangles are similar

7.2         QR

------- = ------------

18           17

Using cross products

7.2 *17 = QR*18

Divide by 18

7.2 *17/18 = QR*18/18

QR = 6.8

7.2          6.5

------- = ------------

18           XZ

Using cross products

7.2 XZ = 6.5*18

Divide by 7.2

7.2 XZ = 6.5*18/7.2

XZ = 16.25

Answer:

a) 16.25 centimeters

b) 6.8 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up a proportion for both of these problems.

a) Look at the longest side of each triangle. We can set up a fraction: 7.2/18. We can also set up a fraction for XZ and PR:

6.5/x

x represents the length you're trying to find.

Since the triangles are similar, we have an equation:

7.2/18=6.5/x

Cross multiply

16.25

XZ is 16.25 centimeters long.

b)

We can do same thing:

7.2/18=x/17

Cross multiply

6.8

QR is 6.8 centimeters long.

Hope this helps!

Donald has a bunch of nickels and dimes in his piggy bank. There are 100 coins in the bank that make a total of $6.60 in change.
brilliants [131]

Answer:

78 nickels and 22 dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

Nickels = n, Dimes = d

<u>Number of coins = 100</u>

  • n + d = 100

<u>Total sum in the piggy bank = $6.60 </u>

  • 5n + 10d = 660

<u>Consider the first equation in the second:</u>

  • 5(100 -d) + 10d = 660
  • 500 - 5d + 10d = 660
  • 5d = 110
  • d = 110/5
  • d = 22
  • n = 100 - 22
  • n = 78

<u>Answer:</u> nickels 78 and dimes 22

A geometric sequence is defined by the general term tn = 75(5n), where n ∈N and n ≥ 1. What is the recursive formula of the sequ
andreyandreev [35.5K]
The correct answer is C) t₁ = 375, t_n=5t_{n-1}.

From the general form,
t_n=75(5)^n, we must work backward to find t₁.

The general form is derived from the explicit form, which is
t_n=t_1(r)^{n-1}.  We can see that r = 5; 5 has the exponent, so that is what is multiplied by every time. This gives us

t_n=t_1(5)^{n-1}

Using the products of exponents, we can "split up" the exponent:
t_n=t_1(5)^n(5)^{-1}

We know that 5⁻¹ = 1/5, so this gives us
t_n=t_1(\frac{1}{5})(5)^n&#10;\\&#10;\\=\frac{t_1}{5}(5)^n

Comparing this to our general form, we see that
\frac{t_1}{5}=75

Multiplying by 5 on both sides, we get that
t₁ = 75*5 = 375

The recursive formula for a geometric sequence is given by
t_n=t_{n-1}(r), while we must state what t₁ is; this gives us

t_1=375; t_n=t_{n-1}(5)
