You have five quarts of paint. It takes 5/8 quart to paint each chair you are asked to paint. How many chairs can you paint?

Simplify: [5×(25)^n+1 - 25 × (5)^2n]/[5×(5)^2n+3 - (25)^n+1]

Given expression is 

$\rm :\longmapsto\:\dfrac{5 \times {25}^{n + 1} - 25 \times {5}^{2n} }{5 \times {5}^{2n + 3} - {25}^{n + 1} }$

can be rewritten as

$\rm \: = \: \dfrac{5 \times { {(5}^{2} )}^{n + 1} - {5}^{2} \times {5}^{2n} }{5 \times {5}^{2n + 3} - {( {5}^{2} )}^{n + 1} }$

We know,

$\purple{\rm :\longmapsto\:\boxed{\tt{ {( {x}^{m} )}^{n} \: = \: {x}^{mn}}}} \\$

And

$\purple{\rm :\longmapsto\:\boxed{\tt{ \: \: {x}^{m} \times {x}^{n} = {x}^{m + n} \: }}} \\$

So, using this identity, we

$\rm \: = \: \dfrac{5 \times {5}^{2n + 2} - {5}^{2n + 2} }{{5}^{2n + 3 + 1} - {5}^{2n + 2} }$

$\rm \: = \: \dfrac{{5}^{2n + 2 + 1} - {5}^{2n + 2} }{{5}^{2n + 4} - {5}^{2n + 2} }$

can be further rewritten as

$\rm \: = \: \dfrac{{5}^{2n + 2 + 1} - {5}^{2n + 2} }{{5}^{2n + 2 + 2} - {5}^{2n + 2} }$

$\rm \: = \: \dfrac{ {5}^{2n + 2} (5 - 1)}{ {5}^{2n + 2} ( {5}^{2} - 1)}$

$\rm \: = \: \dfrac{4}{25 - 1}$

$\rm \: = \: \dfrac{4}{24}$

$\rm \: = \: \dfrac{1}{6}$

Hence, 

$\rm :\longmapsto\:\boxed{\tt{ \dfrac{5 \times {25}^{n + 1} - 25 \times {5}^{2n} }{5 \times {5}^{2n + 3} - {25}^{n + 1} } = \frac{1}{6} }}$

A certain forest covers an area of 2900 km. Suppose that each year this area decreases by 8.5%. What will the area be after 8 ye

Ann [662]

Answer:

1425 square kilometer.

Step-by-step explanation:

2900 - 8.5% = 2653.5

2653.5 - 8.5% = 2427.9525

2427.9525 - 8.5% = 2221.5765375

2221.5765375 - 8.5% = 2032.74253181

2032.74253181 - 8.5% = 1859.95941661

1859.95941661 - 8.5% = 1701.8628662

1701.8628662 - 8.5% = 1557.20452257

1557.20452257 - 8.5% =1 424.84213815 ≈ 1425

The lengths of the sides of a triangle are in the ratio

Anton [14]

HOW TO SOLVE:

1) use x as a variable
2) the starting equation is:
  4x + 3x + 5x = 18

3) add all the like terms on the left side of the equation:
  12x = 18

4) Divide by 12 on both sides:
  x=1.5

5) Find the lengths of the sides:

- 4x = 4(1.5) = 6

- 3x = 3(1.5) = 4.5

- 5x = 5(1.5) = 7.5

SO, the lengths of the sides of this triangle are: 6, 4.5, and 7.5
