Answer:

b1 = 2 ; r = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

if b3 −b1 = 16 and b5 −b3 = 144.

For a geometric series :

Ist term = a

Second term = ar

3rd term = ar^2

4th term = ar^3

5th term = ar^4 ;...

If b3 - b1 = 16;

ar^2 - a = 16

a(r^2 - 1) = 16 - - - (1)

b5 - b3 = 144

ar^4 - ar^2 = 144

ar^2(r^2 - 1) = 144 - - - - (2)

Divide (1) by (2)

a(r^2 - 1) / ar^2(r^2 - 1) = 16 /144

a / ar^2 = 1 / 9

ar^2 = 9a

Substitute for a in ar^2 - a = 16

9a - a = 16

8a = 16

a = 2

From ar^2 - a = 16

2r^2 - 2 = 16

2r^2 = 16 + 2

2r^2 = 18

r^2 = 18 / 2

r^2 = 9

r = √9

r = 3

Hence ;

a = b1 = 2 ; r = 3

Find the value of the variables, giving brief reasons for your answer:​
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

a = 70°

b = 80°

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles on a straight line add up to 180°

⇒ a + 110 = 180

⇒ a = 180 - 110

⇒ a = 70°

The sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral is 360°

⇒ a + b + 130 + 80 = 360

⇒ 70 + b + 130 + 80 = 360

⇒ b + 280 = 360

⇒ b = 360 - 280

⇒ b = 80°

David kicks a soccer ball off the ground and in the air, with an initial velocity of 35 feet per second. Using the formula H(t)
sesenic [268]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The function for this problem is: h(t) = -16(t)^2 + vt + s h= the height t= time v= velocity s= starting height With the information given, we know that the starting height is 0, since it was from the ground, and the velocity of the ball is 35 feet per second. Inserting the these information into the equation, we get: h(t) = -16(t)^2 + 35t Now the question asks to find the maximum height. It can be done by using a grapher to graph the maximum of the parabola. It could also be done by finding the vertex, which would be the maximum, of the graph by using x= -b/(2a), where b is equal to 35 and a is equal to -16. We get x=35/32, the x-value of where the vertex lies. You can use this value as the t-value in the previous equation to find the h-value of the vertex. When you do, you get h= 19.1 feet, or answer D.

Isabella's house has 3 bedrooms. Each bedroom is 12 feet long, 10 feet wide, and 8 feet high. Isabella must paint the walls of a
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

876 square feet need to be painted.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are four walls in each bedroom, since she can't paint floors or ceilings. So we calculate the number of square feet of wall there is in one bedroom

(12*8)+(12*8)+(10*8)+(10*8)-60=160+192-60=292

There are 3 bedrooms so

292*3=876
