Answer:
-4/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the slope formula:
-4 - 12/ 13 - 1
-16/12
Simplifies to -4/3
Answer:
10.6 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
to find the diagonal length of the stairway we can use the pythagorean theorem or a^2 + b^2 = c^2
6'4" is also 6 1/3' or 19/3'
8'6" is also 8 1/2' or 17/2'
now square them both
361/9 + 289/4
make them have the same denominator
1444/36 + 2601/36
add them
4045/36
take the square root
10.6000524 is your answer
10.6 ft
Answer:
81
Step-by-step explanation:
subtract 3 from both sides->x^1/4=-3
set both sides to the power of 4-> x=(-3)^4
solve-> x=81
If you have at least as many equations as your have unknown variables, the 'system' is solvable (unless the equations are copies of eachother).
In this case, isolate one letter and plug it in the other. I'm going for the 2a in the bottom one (it doesn't matter)
2a - 4b = 12 => (divide by two and move the b's to the other side)
a = 6 + 2b. (plug this one into the top equation)
4(6+2b) + 6b = 10 => 24+8b+6b = 10 => 24 + 14b = 10 => 14b = -14 => b=-1
a = 6 + -2 = 4.
So a=4 and b=-1.
Answer:
The first term of the geometric series is 1
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we are tasked with calculating the first term of a geometric series, given the common ratio, and the sum of the first 8 terms.
Mathematically, the sum of terms in a geometric series can be calculated as;
S = a(r^n-1)/( r-1)
where a is the first term that we are looking for
r is the common ratio which is 3 according to the question
n is the number of terms which is 8
S is the sum of the number of terms which is 3280 according to the question
Plugging these values, we have
3280 = a(3^8 -1)/(3-1)
3280 = a( 6561-1)/2
3280 = a(6560)/2
3280 = 3280a
a = 3280/3280
a = 1
