-4 is also a geometric mean
if we consider a(first element in series)=1 and r(common ratio)=-4 then the series would be
1,-4,16,-64,256,…..,a(-4)^(n-1 )
where n is nth term
from this -4 would be the geometric mean if we consider -4 as common ratio .
If we consider 4 as common ratio then geometric mean should be 4
so you should mention whether common ratio >0 or not (r>0 or not) .
[without ‘r’ value you can’t solve the question but in general most of the teachers will consider r>0.]
So, -4 won’t be geometric mean of 1 & 16
1, 3, 5, 7. 1 and 3 they are vertical meaning they are congruent. 3 and 5 are alternate interior angles meaning they are congruent. 7 and 5 are vertical so they are congruent.
Answer:
52
Step-by-step explanation:
given that the number is a
The expression for Ten less than 5 times the value of a number is given by
5a - 10
10 times the quantity of 12 more than one-fourth of the number.
a/4 is one-fourth of number
12 more than one-fourth of the number
a/4 + 12
expression for 10 times the quantity of 12 more than one-fourth of the number. is given by
10(a/4 + 12) = 10a/4 + 12*10 = 2.5a + 120
Given that the above two expression are equal
equating them we have
5a - 10 = 2.5a + 120
adding 10 both sides
=>5a - 10+ 10 = 2.5a + 120 + 10
=> 5a = 2.5a + 130
subtracting 2.5a from both sides
=> 5a - 2.5a = 2.5a + 130 - 2.5a
=> 2.5a = 130
dividing both side by 2.5
=> a = 130/2.5 = 52
Thus, value of a is 52

Answer:
0.411^5 times 0.599
Step-by-step explanation:
0.599 chance of landing on heads.
0.411 chance of not landing on heads.
0.411 times 0.411 times 0.411 times 0.411 times 0.411 (for the 5 flips that do not land on heads) times 0.599 (for the time that it does land on heads).
