Answer:

The students got 3 signatures on first day.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

The number of signatures students get each day is 3 times as many as the day before.

Thus, the number of signatures form a geometric progression with common ratio 3.

r = 3

Number of signatures on sixth day = 3^6

n^{th} term in a geometric progression is given by:

a_n = ar^{n-1}

where a is the first term of the series and r is the common ratio.

a_6 = 3^6\\3^6 = ar^{5}\\3^6 = a(3)^5\\a = 3

Thus, the first term of geometric progression is 3.

Thus, the students got 3 signatures on first day.

How to prove this using trig identities?
Pavlova-9 [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

tanB + cotB = (sinB)/(cosB) + (cosB)/(sinB)

 

                      = (sin2B + cos2B)/[(cosB)(sinB)]

 

                       = 1/[(cosB)(sinB)]

 

                        = (1/cosB)(1/sinB)

 

                        = (secB)(cscB)

There are 250 bricks used to build a wall 20 feet high.How many bricks will be used to buld a wall that is 30 fet high
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer: 375

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are given the information that there are 250 bricks used to build a wall 20 feet high, the number of brick used per feet will be:

= 250/20

= 12.5 bricks per feet.

Therefore, the number of bricks that will be used to buld a wall that is 30 fet high will be:

= 12.5 × 30

= 375 bricks.

Therefore, 375 bricks would be used.
