Answer:

5 cats

Step-by-step explanation:

d/c = 5/1

d = 25 Substitute in the proportion

25/c = 5/1 Multiply both sides by c

25 = 5c/1

25 = 5c Divide each side by 5

c = 5

There are five cats.

If 1st and 4tg terms of G.p are 500 and 32 respectively it's second term is ?

bixtya [17]

Answer:

$T_{2} = 200$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Geometry Progression

$T_1 = 500$

$T_4 = 32$

Required

Calculate the second term

First, we need to write out the formula to calculate the nth term of a GP

$T_n = ar^{n-1}$

For first term: Tn = 500 and n = 1

$500 = ar^{1-1}$

$500 = ar^{0}$

$500 = a$

$a = 500$

For fought term: Tn = 32 and n = 4

$32 = ar^{4-1}$

$32 = ar^3$

Substitute 500 for a

$32 = 500 * r^3$

Make r^3 the subject

$r^3 = \frac{32}{500}$

$r^3 = 0.064$

Take cube roots

$\sqrt[3]{r^3} = \sqrt[3]{0.064}$

$r = \sqrt[3]{0.064}$

$r = 0.4$

Using: $T_n = ar^{n-1}$

$n = 2$ $r = 0.4$ and $a = 500$

$T_{2} = 500 * 0.4^{2-1}$

$T_{2} = 500 * 0.4^1$

$T_{2} = 500 * 0.4$

$T_{2} = 200$

<em>Hence, the second term is 200</em>
