Answer:

\large\boxed{x=2\sqrt{21}\ and\ y=4\sqrt3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the picture.

ΔADC and ΔCDB are similar. Therefore the sides are in proportion:

\dfrac{AD}{CD}=\dfrac{CD}{DB}

We have

AD=14-8=6\\CD=y\\DB=8

Substitute:

\dfrac{6}{y}=\dfrac{y}{8}         <em>cross multiply</em>

y^2=(6)(8)

y^2=48\to y=\sqrt{48}\\\\y=\sqrt{16\cdot3}\\\\y=\sqrt{16}\ cdot\sqrt3\\\\\boxed{y=4\sqrt3}

For x use the Pythagorean theorem:

x^2=6^2+(4\sqrt3)^2\\\\x^2=36+48\\\\x^2=84\to x=\sqrt{84}\\\\x=\sqrt{4\cdot21}\\\\x=\sqrt4\cdot\sqrt{21}\\\\\boxed{x=2\sqrt{21}}

If the first 4 terms of an infinite geometric sequence are 150, 120, 96, and 76.8, then the sum of all the terms in the sequence
hammer [34]

The sum of the sequence is 750

<h3>How to determine the sum of the series?</h3>

The series is given as:

150, 120, 96, and 76.8,

Start by calculating the common ratio using:

r = T2/T1

This gives

r = 120/150

r = 0.8

The sum of the series is then calculated as:

S = \frac{a}{1 - r}

This gives

S = \frac{150}{1 - 0.8}

Evaluate

S = 750

Hence, the sum of the sequence is 750

ali buys 120 cans of drink for a total of £30. He wants to make a profit of 40%. What price should he charge each can for him to
Dafna11 [192]
30*(100%+40%)
30*140%
140% as a decimal is (140/100) which is 1.4
30*1.4=42
42/120=0.32.

Ali should sell each can for $0.32

Hope this helps :)
