Let us assume the common ratio to be = x
Then
(1 * x) + (4 * x) = 50
x + 4x = 50
5x = 50
x = 50/5
   = 10
So from the above deduction, we get the common ratio to be equal to 10
Then
The smallest number = 1 * x
                                  = 1 * 10
                                  = 10

Which of the following is the equation of a circle with a radius of 10 cm and center at (–3, 6)?
Volgvan

The equation of the circle:

(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2

(h, k) - center

r - radius

We have:

r=10\\(-3,\ 6)\to h=-3,\ k=6

Substitute:

(x-(-3))^2+(y-6)^2=10^2\\\\(x+3)^2+(y-6)^2=100

If you take half my age and add 7, you get my age 13 years ago. How old am I?
mestny [16]

Answer:

You are currently 40 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the current age is represented by the variable x.

x = current age

The question says that "if you take half my age and add 7, you get my age 13 years ago"

This can be represented like this:

1/2(x) + 7 = x - 13

Now we solve for x using basic algebra:

1/2(x) = x - 20

-1/2(x) = -20

x = 40

To check if this is correct, plug it back into the equation and see if both sides equal each other:

1/2(40) + 7 = (40) - 13

20 + 7 = 27

27 = 27

Hope this helps (●'◡'●)

True Or False Questions
Bad White [126]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>TRUE</u>

All isosceles triangles have at least 2 acute angles due to 2 sides are equal.

The exterior angle of an equilateral triangle is obtuse.

If the perimeter of an equilateral triangle is P, then the length of each of the sides is P/3.

<u>FALSE</u>

All isosceles triangles are equilateral triangles.

If you know the length of one of the legs of an isosceles triangle, you can determine it’s the perimeter

F(x) = 2(x+1)3 even or odd
Andrews [41]

Answer:

Neither even  nor odd.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) =  2(x + 1)^3 = 2x^3 + 18x^2 + 54x + 54

f(-x) =  -2x^3 + 18x^2 - 54x + 54

If it was even f(x) would be = f(-x)   so it is NOT EVEN.

-f(x) =  2x^3 - 18x^2 + 54x - 54

So f(-x) is not = -f(x) so it is not ODD either.
