If the 2nd and 5th terms of a

Mathematics
1 answer:
blagie [28]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

45

Step-by-step explanation:

The n th term of a GP is

a_{n} = ar^{n-1}

where a is the first term and r the common ratio

Given a₂ = 6 and a₅ = 48, then

ar = 6 → (1)

ar^{4} = 48 → (2)

Divide (2) by (1)

\frac{ar^4}{ar} = \frac{48}{6} , that is

r³ = 8 ( take the cube root of both sides )

r = \sqrt[3]{8} = 2

Substitute r = 2 into (1)

2a = 6 ( divide both sides by 2 )

a = 3

Thus

3, 6, 12, 24 ← are the first 4 terms

3 + 6 + 12 + 24 = 45 ← sum of first 4 terms

% of 6,000 = 4,500<br> Please help
babymother [125]

Answer:

450

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution for What is 75 percent of 600:

75 percent * 600 =

(75:100)* 600 =

(75* 600):100 =

45000:100 = 450

Now we have: 75 percent of 600 = 450

Question: What is 75 percent of 600?

Percentage solution with steps:

Step 1: Our output value is 600.

Step 2: We represent the unknown value with $x$x​.

Step 3: From step 1 above,$600=100\%$600=100%​.

Step 4: Similarly, $x=75\%$x=75%​.

Step 5: This results in a pair of simple equations:

$600=100\%(1)$600=100%(1)​.

$x=75\%(2)$x=75%(2)​.

Step 6: By dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and noting that both the RHS (right hand side) of both

equations have the same unit (%); we have

600

x​=

100%

75%​​

Step 7: Again, the reciprocal of both sides gives

x

600​=

75

100​

Therefore, $75\%$75%​ of $600$600​ is $450$
