Jessie is participating in a walkathon to raise

tiny-mole [99]

Jessie needs 27 supporters in order to reach his goal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Amount to be collected by Jessie = $150

Jessie's contribution = $15

Amount to be asked from each person = $5

Let,

x be the number of people who contribute.

Jessie's contribution + 5*Number of people who contribute = Total amount

15+5x=150

Subtracting 15 from both sides

$15-15+5x=150-15\\5x=135$

Dividing both sides by 5

$\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{135}{5}\\x=27$

Jessie needs 27 supporters in order to reach his goal.

Hi. I need help with these See image for question Answer no 8 ,9 and 10

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

8) 4 + 2q²/p² - 4r/p + r²/p²
9) (3/4, -9/4)
10) (3/8, 41/16)

Step-by-step explanation:

8. ============

Given

α and β are roots of px² + qx + r = 0

The sum of the roots is α + β = -q/p, the product of then roots αβ = r/p

(2 + α²)(2 + β²) =
4 + 2(α² + β²) + (αβ)² =
4 + 2((α + β)² -2αβ) + (αβ)² =
4 + 2((-q/p)² - 2r/p) + (r/p)² =
4 + 2q²/p² - 4r/p + r²/p²

------------------------------

9. ============

Given function

y = 2x² - 3x - 1

The minimum point is reached at vertex

The vertex is:

x = -b/2a
x = -(-3)/2*2 = 3/4

The corresponding y-coordinate is:

y = 2(3/4)² - 3(3/4) - 1 = 9/8 - 9/4 - 1 = 1/8(9 - 18 - 9) = - 18/8 = - 9/4

So the point is:

(3/4, -9/4)

---------------

10. ============

Given function

y = 2 - 3x - 4x²

The maximum is reached at vertex

The vertex is:

x = -b/2a
x = -(-3)/2(-4) = -3/8

The corresponding y-coordinate is:

y = 2 - 3(-3/8) -4(-3/8)² = 2 + 9/8 - 9/16 = 1/16(32 + 18 - 9) = 41/16

So the maximum point is:

(3/8, 41/16)

Help me with these two questions for brainliest!

Akimi4 [234]

1. Yes.

Since, to be a triangle, the sum of the smallest two sides must be greater than the third side, the triangle can be formed.

3 + 22 > 24

2. This triangle is a right triangle.

180 - 60 - 30 = 90
90 degrees is a right angle.

Hope this helps!

Find the sum of the first 25 terms in this geometric series: 8 + 6 + 4.5...

Ksivusya [100]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the geometric sequence

8 + 6 + 4.5...

A geometric sequence has a constant ratio and is defined by

$a_n=a_1\cdot r^{n-1}$

$\mathrm{Compute\:the\:ratios\:of\:all\:the\:adjacent\:terms}:\quad \:r=\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}$

$\frac{6}{8}=\frac{3}{4},\:\quad \frac{4.5}{6}=\frac{3}{4}$

$\mathrm{The\:ratio\:of\:all\:the\:adjacent\:terms\:is\:the\:same\:and\:equal\:to}$

$r=\frac{3}{4}$

$\mathrm{The\:first\:element\:of\:the\:sequence\:is}$

$a_1=8$

$\mathrm{Therefore,\:the\:}n\mathrm{th\:term\:is\:computed\:by}\:$

$a_n=8\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^{n-1}$

$\mathrm{Geometric\:sequence\:sum\:formula:}$

$a_1\frac{1-r^n}{1-r}$

$\mathrm{Plug\:in\:the\:values:}$

$n=25,\:\spacea_1=8,\:\spacer=\frac{3}{4}$

$=8\cdot \frac{1-\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^{25}}{1-\frac{3}{4}}$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:fractions}:\quad \:a\cdot \frac{b}{c}=\frac{a\:\cdot \:b}{c}$

$=\frac{\left(1-\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^{25}\right)\cdot \:8}{1-\frac{3}{4}}$

$=\frac{8\left(-\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^{25}+1\right)}{\frac{1}{4}}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:exponent\:rule}:\quad \left(\frac{a}{b}\right)^c=\frac{a^c}{b^c}$

$=\frac{8\left(-\frac{3^{25}}{4^{25}}+1\right)}{\frac{1}{4}}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{a}{\frac{b}{c}}=\frac{a\cdot \:c}{b}$

$=\frac{\left(1-\frac{3^{25}}{4^{25}}\right)\cdot \:8\cdot \:4}{1}$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:the\:numbers:}\:8\cdot \:4=32$

$=\frac{32\left(-\frac{3^{25}}{4^{25}}+1\right)}{1}$

$=\frac{32\cdot \frac{4^{25}-3^{25}}{4^{25}}}{1}$ ∵ $\mathrm{Join}\:1-\frac{3^{25}}{4^{25}}:\quad \frac{4^{25}-3^{25}}{4^{25}}$

$=32\cdot \frac{4^{25}-3^{25}}{4^{25}}$

$=\frac{\left(4^{25}-3^{25}\right)\cdot \:32}{4^{25}}$

$=\frac{2^5\left(4^{25}-3^{25}\right)}{2^{50}}$ ∵ $\mathrm{Factor}\:32:\ 2^5$ , $\mathrm{Factor}\:4^{25}:\ 2^{50}$

$=\frac{4^{25}-3^{25}}{2^{45}}$ ∵ $\mathrm{Cancel\:}\frac{\left(4^{25}-3^{25}\right)\cdot \:2^5}{2^{50}}:\quad \frac{4^{25}-3^{25}}{2^{45}}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{a\pm \:b}{c}=\frac{a}{c}\pm \frac{b}{c}$

$=\frac{4^{25}}{2^{45}}-\frac{3^{25}}{2^{45}}$

$=32-\frac{3^{25}}{2^{45}}$ ∵ $\frac{4^{25}}{2^{45}}=32$

$=32-0.024$ ∵ $\frac{3^{25}}{2^{45}}=0.024$

$=31.98$

Therefore, the sum of the first 25 terms in this geometric series: 31.98
