y = cost = $25

25 = 0.75 +10

 subtract 10 from each side

15=0.75x

x = 15/0.75 = 20

 there were 20 words in the ad

A person can see the top of a building at an angle of 65°. The person is standing 50 ft away from
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

  (b)  112.2 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The relevant trig relation is ...

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

For the given geometry, this becomes ...

  tan(65°) = (height above eye level)/(50 ft)

Then we have ...

  (height above eye level) = (50 ft)tan(65°) = 107.2 ft

Adding the height of eye level will give us the height of the building.

  building height = (eye level height) + (height above eye level)

  building height = (5 ft) + (107.2 ft)

  building height = 112.2 ft

The 5th term in a geometric sequence is 160. The 7th term is 40. What are possible values of the 6th term of the sequence?
omeli [17]

Answer:

C. The 6th term is positive/negative 80

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Geometric Progression

T_5 = 160

T_7 = 40

Required

T_6

To get the 6th term of the progression, first we need to solve for the first term and the common ratio of the progression;

To solve the common ratio;

Divide the 7th term by the 5th term; This gives

\frac{T_7}{T_5} = \frac{40}{160}

Divide the numerator and the denominator of the fraction by 40

\frac{T_7}{T_5} = \frac{1}{4} ----- equation 1

Recall that the formula of a GP is

T_n = a r^{n-1}

Where n is the nth term

So,

T_7 = a r^{6}

T_5 = a r^{4}

Substitute the above expression in equation 1

\frac{T_7}{T_5} = \frac{1}{4}  becomes

\frac{ar^6}{ar^4} = \frac{1}{4}

r^2 = \frac{1}{4}

Square root both sides

r = \sqrt{\frac{1}{4}}

r = ±\frac{1}{2}

Next, is to solve for the first term;

Using T_5 = a r^{4}

By substituting 160 for T5 and ±\frac{1}{2} for r;

We get

160 = a \frac{1}{2}^{4}

160 = a \frac{1}{16}

Multiply through by 16

16 * 160 = a \frac{1}{16} * 16

16 * 160 = a

2560 = a

Now, we can easily solve for the 6th term

Recall that the formula of a GP is

T_n = a r^{n-1}

Here, n = 6;

T_6 = a r^{6-1}

T_6 = a r^5

T_6 = 2560 r^5

r = ±\frac{1}{2}

So,

T_6 = 2560( \frac{1}{2}^5) or T_6 = 2560( \frac{-1}{2}^5)

T_6 = 2560( \frac{1}{32}) or T_6 = 2560( \frac{-1}{32})

T_6 = 80 or T_6 = -80

T_6 =±80

Hence, the 6th term is positive/negative 80

How do I do problem twelve you don’t have to give the answer because you can’t see the numbers but explain how I would do It
liraira [26]

In order to do this you would multiply how much she used for 1/16 of the garden by 16. So 1/2 • 16 which is 8. So the answer is 8.

Hope this helps!

Find the value of x.
Cerrena [4.2K]
x^2 + (x + 3)^2 = (\sqrt{117})^2

x^2 + x^2 + 6x + 9 = 117

2x^2 + 6x -108 = 0

x^2 + 3x - 54 = 0

(x + 9)(x - 6) = 0

x + 9 = 0 ~~or~~ x - 6 = 0

x = -9 ~~ or~~ x = 6

Since the side of a triangle cannot have a negative length, we discard the solution x = -9.

Answer: x = 6
