Answer:

$t=\frac{b}{b+a}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$t+\frac{at}{b}=1$

Solve for t

That means ----> Isolate the variable t

Multiply by b both sides to remove the fraction

$bt+at=b$

Factor the variable t in the left side

$t[b+a]=b$

Divide by (b+a) both sides

$t=\frac{b}{b+a}$

Create three geometric sequences of your own (including one that is decreasing). Extend your sequences to include five terms. Th

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

a) $a_n=5\,\,(2)^{n-1}$

b) $b_n=100\,\,(\frac{1}{2} )^{n-1}$

c) $c_n=160\,\,(-\frac{1}{2} )^{n-1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Geometric sequence with first term 5 and common ratio 2, where the nth term can be calculated via:

$a_n=5\,\,(2)^{n-1}$

The first five terms are: $a_1=5;\,\,\,a_2=10;\,\,\,a_3=20; \,\,\,a_4=40;\,\,\,a_5=80$

b) Geometric sequence with first term 100 and common ratio 1/2, where the nth term can be calculated via:

$b_n=100\,\,(\frac{1}{2} )^{n-1}$

The first five terms are: $a_1=100;\,\,\,a_2=50;\,\,\,a_3=25; \,\,\,a_4=12.5;\,\,\,a_5=6.25$

c) Geometric sequence with first term 160 and common ratio -1/2, where the nth term can be calculated via:

$c_n=160\,\,(-\frac{1}{2} )^{n-1}$

The first five terms are: $a_1=160;\,\,\,a_2=-80;\,\,\,a_3=40; \,\,\,a_4=-20;\,\,\,a_5=10$

Answer:

x = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

∠ CAD and ∠ EDF are corresponding angles and are congruent, so

∠ CAD = 2x

The sum of the 3 angles in Δ ABD = 180°

sum the angles and equate to 180

72 + 2x + 2x = 180

72 + 4x = 180 ( subtract 72 from both sides )

4x = 108 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 27
