One leg of a right triangle has length 7. The lengths of the other two sides are whole numbers. The length of the other leg is _

suter [353]

Sets of three integers that could be right triangles are called pythagorean triples. the only pythagorean triple including 7 is 7, 24, and 25. so the length of the other leg is 24 and the length of the hypotenuse is 25. hope this helped!

What is the midpoint of the segment shown below

Softa [21]

Answer:

(-1, -1/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x coordinate of the midpoint, add the x coordinates and divide by 2

( -11+9)/2 = -2/2 = -1

To find the y coordinate of the midpoint, add the y coordinates and divide by 2

(0+-1)/2 = -1/2

(-1, -1/2)

What is 8 7/9 − 3 2/3 =

maks197457 [2]

[|] Answer [|]

$\boxed{5 \ 1/9}$

[|] Explanation [|]

Rewrite the equation with parts separated:

8 + 7/9 - 3 - 2/3

Solve the whole number parts:

8 - 3 = 5

Solve the fraction parts:

7/9 - 2/3

Find LCD of 7/9 & 2/3

7/9 - 6/9 = 1/9

5 + 1/9 = 5 1/9

$\boxed{[|] \ Eclipsed \ [|]}$

I got the first two can you help me with the last one PLZ

1. Geometric Sequence

2. $a_n = a_{n-1} * 3$

3. $a_n = 6 * (3)^{n-1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given sequence is:

6, 18, 54, 162,....

Here

$a_1 =6\\a_2 = 18\\a_3 = 54$

(a) Is this an arithmetic or geometric sequence?

We can see that the difference between the terms is not same so it cannot be an arithmetic sequence.

We have to check for common ratio (ratio between consecutive terms of a sequence) denoted by r

$r = \frac{a_2}{a_1} = \frac{18}{6}= 3\\r = \frac{a_3}{a_2} = \frac{54}{18} = 3$

As the common ratio is same, the given sequence is a geometric sequence.

(b) How can you find the next number in the sequence?

Recursive formulas are used to find the next number in sequence using previous term

Recursive formula for a geometric sequence is given by:

$a_n = a_{n-1} * r$

In case of given sequence,

$a_n = a_{n-1} * 3$

So to find the 5th term

$a_5 = a_4*3\\a_5 = 162*3\\a_5 = 486$

(c) Give the rule you would use to find the 20th week.

In order to find the pushups for 20th week, explicit formul for sequence will be used.

The general form of explicit formula is given by:

$a_n = a_1 * r^{n-1}$

Putting the values of a_1 and r

$a_n = 6 * (3)^{n-1}$

Hence,

1. Geometric Sequence

2. $a_n = a_{n-1} * 3$

3. $a_n = 6 * (3)^{n-1}$
