The integers are 56,84 and 49.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first integer to be x

Let the third integer to be y

The first integer is 28 less than the second integer, this mean the second integer is x+28

The sum of the three integer is 189,this means

x+x+28+y=189

2x+y=189-28

2x+y=161--------------------------------------(1)

The second integer is 21 less than the sum of the first and third integer, this means;

x+28+21=x+y

x+49=x+y

x-x+49=y

49=y-----------------------------------------value of 3rd integer

Substitute value of y=49 in equation (1)

2x+y=161

2x+49=161

2x=161-49

2x=112

x=112/2 =56

x=56-----------------------------------value of 1st integer

Substitute x=56, in the expression for the value of 2nd integer

Second Integer=x+28 = 56 +28 =84

<u>Conclusion</u>

1st integer is 56

2nd integer is 84

3rd integer is 49

The sum of two terms of gp is 6 and that of first four terms is 15/2.Find the sum of first six terms.​
Gnoma [55]

Given:

The sum of two terms of GP is 6 and that of first four terms is \dfrac{15}{2}.

To find:

The sum of first six terms.​

Solution:

We have,

S_2=6

S_4=\dfrac{15}{2}

Sum of first n terms of a GP is

S_n=\dfrac{a(1-r^n)}{1-r}              ...(i)

Putting n=2, we get

S_2=\dfrac{a(1-r^2)}{1-r}

6=\dfrac{a(1-r)(1+r)}{1-r}

6=a(1+r)                    ...(ii)

Putting n=4, we get

S_4=\dfrac{a(1-r^4)}{1-r}

\dfrac{15}{2}=\dfrac{a(1-r^2)(1+r^2)}{1-r}

\dfrac{15}{2}=\dfrac{a(1+r)(1-r)(1+r^2)}{1-r}

\dfrac{15}{2}=6(1+r^2)            (Using (ii))

Divide both sides by 6.

\dfrac{15}{12}=(1+r^2)

\dfrac{5}{4}-1=r^2

\dfrac{5-4}{4}=r^2

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

Taking square root on both sides, we get

\pm \sqrt{\dfrac{1}{4}}=r

\pm \dfrac{1}{2}=r

\pm 0.5=r

Case 1: If r is positive, then using (ii) we get

6=a(1+0.5)  

6=a(1.5)  

\dfrac{6}{1.5}=a  

4=a

The sum of first 6 terms is

S_6=\dfrac{4(1-(0.5)^6)}{(1-0.5)}

S_6=\dfrac{4(1-0.015625)}{0.5}

S_6=8(0.984375)

S_6=7.875

Case 2: If r is negative, then using (ii) we get

6=a(1-0.5)  

6=a(0.5)  

\dfrac{6}{0.5}=a  

12=a  

The sum of first 6 terms is

S_6=\dfrac{12(1-(-0.5)^6)}{(1+0.5)}

S_6=\dfrac{12(1-0.015625)}{1.5}

S_6=8(0.984375)

S_6=7.875

Therefore, the sum of the first six terms is 7.875.

I need help finding the lowest term for -8/9+11/15​
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

-7/45

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the lowest common denominator for 9 and 15. It's 45. Make both fractions over 45 by multiplying the top and bottom by the same number.

-\frac{8}{9} +\frac{11}{15}

= -\frac{8*5}{9*5} +\frac{11*3}{15*3}  Since 15*3=45, multiply the top by 3 also.    Since 9*5=45, multiply the top by 5 also.

= -\frac{40}{45} +\frac{33}{45}

= \frac{-40+33}{45}    Combine the fractions

= -\frac{7}{45}    Answer in lowest terms
