1/16=a(1/4)^(5-1)

1/16=a(1/4)^4

1/16=a/256

256/16=a

16=a

So the initial term is 16 so our formula is:

a(n)=16(1/4)^(n-1)

So if John gives a pen and pencil to each and all of them are over we know that the no. of pencils and pens should be the same
So we will find the LCM of 15 and 40 that is equal to 120
So John brought 120/15 that is 8 packets of pen and 120/40 that is three packets of pencils

Which equation could be used to solve for the measure of side Q in the triangle QRS shown below given...

Rama09 [41]

The image is missing, so i have attached it

Answer:

Equation is;

q/sin 105 = 15/sin 30

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

Angle Q = 105°

Angle S = 30°

s = 15

From sine rule we know that;

a/sin A = b/sin B = c/sin C.

Thus, applying that to this question, we can find side q.

Thus;. q/Sin Q = s/Sin S

Plugging in the relevant values to obtain ;

q/sin 105 = 15/sin 30

2. “The inverse of every function must be a function itself.” State whether you agree or disagree with the statement providing e

Jet001 [13]

Technically this is not necessarily true for all. A function has each input mapped to one output, therefore there can be two inputs that have the same output. However, when inverted, the input will have two outputs, which is not a function. For example with (1,3) (2,3) (3,4) (4,5) this is a function but switched (3,1) (3,2) ! Two inputs have the same output, which is not a function!

The base of a solid in the xy-plane is the circle x2 + y2 = 16. Cross sections of the solid perpendicular to the y-axis are semi

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

The volume of the solid will be = 134.1 cubic units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The base of a solid has the equation of a circle x² + y² = 16 in the xy-plane. Cross-sections perpendicular to the y-axis of the solid are semicircles.

Therefore, the solid will be the shape of a hemisphere.

Now, the radius of the hemisphere will be 4 units.

{Since the base of the hemisphere is on the xy-plane and have equation

x² + y² = 4²}

Therefore, the volume of the solid will be = $\frac{2}{3}\pi r^{3} = (\frac{2}{3})\times (\frac{22}{7}) \times (4^{3}) = 134.1$ cubic units. (Answer)
