Answer:
x = √40 = 2√10
Explanation:
The given triangle is an isosceles triangle. This means that the angle bisector is perpendicular to the base and bisects it, which means that we now have two identical right-angled triangles.
Let's consider the triangle on the right:
We have one of its sides = 6 units, the other one = 4/2 = 2 units and the hypotenuse = x units
We will use the Pythagorean theorem to get the length of the hypotenuse as follows:
(Hypotenuse)² = (side1)² + (side2)²
x² = (6)² + (2)²
x² = 36 + 4
x² = 40
either x = -√40 = -2√10 ........> rejected as length cannot be negative
or x = +√40 = 2√10 .........> accepted value
Based on the above:
x = 2√10 units

Answer: 1,953,125
This is one single value and it is just a bit under 2 million.
Or more accurately, it's a bit over 1.9 million.
===========================================================
Explanation:
- a = 5 = first term
- r = -5 = common ratio
Note that dividing any term by its previous term gets us the common ratio
- r = term2/term1 = -25/5 = -5
- r = term3/term2 = 125/(-5) = -5
The r value must stay the same the entire time, or else the sequence isn't geometric.
The nth term of any geometric sequence is a*(r)^(n-1). With the 'a' and 'r' values we found, we update that to 5(-5)^(n-1)
-----------------
To verify that is the correct nth term expression, plug in various values of n to compare it with the given sequence.
If we tried n = 2 for instance, then we find the 2nd term is
5(-5)^(n-1) = 5(-5)^(2-1) = -25
which matches what your teacher gave you. I'll let you verify the other terms.
-----------------
The last thing we need to do is plug in n = 9 and simplify
5(-5)^(n-1)
5(-5)^(9-1)
5(-5)^8
5(390625)
1,953,125 this is one single value (rather than 3 separate values)
Number 6 hopefully it helped
The pool leaks 7/8 of a gallon in 1/2 hour. Times that by 2 to find out how many gallons per hour. 7/8 x 2 = 14/8 = 1 and 3/4 gal/hour. (1.75 gal/hour)
