Answer:

15th term = 116

Step-by-step explanation:

a= 4

Sum of an A.P = n/2 {2a + (n-1)d}

sum of first five term is equal to one-fourth of the sum of the next five term

5/2{ 2*4 + (5-1)d} = 1/4 × 10/2{2*4 + (10-1)d

5/2 {8 + 4d} = 1/4 × 5{ 8 + 9d}

40/2 + 20/2d = 1/4{ 40 + 45d)

20 + 10d= 40/4 + 45/4d

20 + 10d = 10 + 45/4d

20 - 10 = 45/4d - 10d

10 =45d - 40d /4

10 = 5/4d

Divide both sides by 5/4

10 ÷5/4 = d

10×4/5 = d

40/5 = d

8 = d

d= 8

Find the 15th term

15th term = a + (n-1)d

= 4 + (15-1)8

= 4 + (14)8

= 4 + 112

= 116

The 15th term is 116

An angle bisector always creates two acute angles. find a counterexample to show that the conjecture is false.
sweet-ann [11.9K]
An acute angle is an angle that is less than 90°. An angle bisector is a ray drawn along an angle that bisects it into two equal and adjacent parts. Now, if the total angle is, say 270°, which is more than a half circle, it would result to two 135-degree angles. In this case, the angle is no longer acute, but obtuse.

The product of two consecutive integers is 420
Olenka [21]
(a) * (a+1) = 420
a^2 + a = 420
a^2 + a - 420 = 0
(a+21)(a-20) = 0
a = -21 OR 20

The two integers can be -21 and -20, OR 20 and 21.
