What are the values of a and b number 8​

Mathematics

puteri [66]3 years ago

Answer:

\large\boxed{C.\ a=\dfrac{400}{21},\ b=\dfrac{580}{21}}

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>(LOOK AT THE PICTURE)</em>

ΔABC, ΔDBA and ΔDAC are similar (AAA). Therefore the corresponding sides are in proportion:

\dfrac{AB}{AD}=\dfrac{AC}{DC}

We have AB = b, AD = 20, AC = 29 and DC = 21. Substitute:

\dfrac{b}{20}=\dfrac{29}{21}             <em>cross multiply</em>

21b=(20)(29)

21b=580           <em>divide both sides by 21</em>

b=\dfrac{580}{21}

and in proportion:

\dfrac{BD}{AD}=\dfrac{AD}{DC}

We have BD = a, AD = 20 and DC = 21. Substitute:

\dfrac{a}{20}=\dfrac{20}{21}           <em>cross multiply</em>

21a=(20)(20)

21a=400   <em>divide both sides by 21</em>

a=\dfrac{400}{21}

Find a closed form for the generating function for each of these sequences. (assume a general form for the terms of the sequence
noname [10]
There really is no single "obvious" choice here...

Possibly the sequence is periodic, with seven copies of -1 followed by six copies of 0, or perhaps seven -1s and seven 0s. Or maybe seven -1s, followed by six 0s, then five 1s, and so on, but after a certain point it would seem we have to have negative copies of a number, which is meaningless.

Or maybe it's not periodic, and every seventh value in the sequence is incremented by 1? Who knows?

I'll go ahead and assume the latter case, that the sequence is not periodic, since that's technically somewhat easier to manage. We can assign the following rule to the n-th term in the sequence:

\{a_n\}=\{-1,\ldots,-1,0,\ldots,0,1,\ldots,1,2,\ldots,2,3,\ldots\}
\implies a_n=\left\lfloor\dfrac n7\right\rfloor-1

for n\ge0.

So the generating function for this sequence might be

G(a_n;x)=\displaystyle\sum_{n\ge0}\left(\left\lfloor\frac n7\right\rfloor-1\right)x^n

As to what is meant by "closed form", I'm not sure. Would this answer be acceptable? Or do you need to find a possibly more tractable form for the coefficient not in terms of the floor function?

Shirley has a circular rug in her dining room that has an area of 36 pie Square meters what is the radius of the circular rug
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer: The radius of the circular rug is  6 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the next formula:

<em>Area of a circle (A) = pi r² </em>

Where r is the radius:

Replacing with the values given:

36 pi=pi r²

Dividing both sides by pi:

36 = r²

√36= r

r = 6 meters

So, the radius of the circular rug is  6 meters.

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
