Answer: $\pm175$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given geometric sequence = $35,_,875,...$

For a geometric sequence, the nth term is given by the formula

$a_n=ar^{n-1}$

Since, the first term $a_1=a=35$

Then, the third term = $a_3=ar^2=35r^2$

From the given sequence, the third term =875

Now, $\Rightarrow 35r^2=875\\\Rightarrow r^2=25\\\Rightarrow\ r=\pm5$

If r=5, then the second term = $a_2=ar=35(5)=175$

If r=-5, then the second term = $a_2=ar=35(-5)=-175$

Hence, the possible value for the missing term of the geometric sequence is $\pm175$

7. A crate of soft drinks contains 9 bottles of coke, 6 bottles of pepsi and 4 bottles of limca. Ademola picks one bottle of sof

Mekhanik [1.2K]

The probability that the events (a) they both picked Limca = 0.04, (b) Ademola only picked Pepsi = 0.32, (c) They both picked the same brand = 0.33 (d) They picked different brand=0.67.

<h3>What is probability?</h3>

Probability is the fraction of the required outcome event divided by the number of possible outcomes of events.

Total possible outcome of the event of picking drinks contained in the crate = 19

Hence, we can compute the following as follows;

(a) The probability they both picked Limca = (4/19)×(3/18)

Limca = 12/342

Limca = 0.04

(b) The probability Ademola only picked pepsi = 6/19

pepsi = 0.32

=(72+29+12)/342

= 114/342

= 0.33

(d) The probability they picked different brand = (9/19)×(6/18)+(9/19)×(4/18)+(6/19)×(9/18)+(6/19)×(4/18)+(4/19)×(9/18)+(4/19)×(6/18)

The probability they picked different brand = (54+36+54+24+36+24)/342

The probability they picked different brand = 228/332

The probability they picked different brand = 0.67

Therefore, the probability for events (a) is 0.04, (b) is 0.32, (c) is 0.33 and (d) is 0.67.

Identify the constant of<br> proportionality (k)<br> 8Y = 16x<br> k=

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

JUST WRITE THIS AS YOUR ANSWER

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Put together the general equation.

Step 2: Solve for the constant of proportionality.

Step 3: Plugging the constant into the equation, solve for the unknown variable.

Let's solve a few problems to see how this works, shall we?

Example 1: Y is directly proportional to x. When x = 5, y = 8. What does y equal when x = 9?

First, we set up our general equation. Because y is directly proportional to x, we have:

y = cx

where c is the constant of proportionality. In other words, when x goes up, y goes up, and when x goes down, y goes down.

The next thing we do is plug our values for x and y into the equation so we can solve for c:

8 = (c)(5)

Solving for c, we get c = 8/5 = 1.6 and we plug this into our equation:

y = 1.6x

Now, we can plug x = 9 into the equation to find out what y equals:

y = (1.6)(9)

y = 14.4

So, our answer is 14.4

Example 2: Y is directly proportional to the square of x. When x = 2, y = 32. What does y equal when x = 5?

This time, our general equation is slightly more complicated because x is squared:

y = cx2

Like before, we solve for our constant:

32 = (c)(22)

32 = (c)(4)

We get c = 8:

y = 8x2

Solving for y when x = 5, we get y = (8)(52) = (8)(25) = 200

Example 3: Y is inversely proportional to x. When x = 2, y = 8. What does y equal when x = 24?

This time, because y is inversely proportional to x, our general equation is different:

xy = c

so when x goes up, y goes down, and vise versa. But, other than that, we solve these kinds of problems the same way as direct proportion problems. Solving for the constant, we get:

(2)(8) = c

So c = 16 and our equation is now:

xy = 16

Solving for y when x = 24 we get y = 16/24 = 2/3

Example 4: Y is inversely proportional to the square root of x. When x = 36, y = 2. What does y equal when x = 64?

As before, we set up our equation:

eq001

Since the square root of 36 is 6, it is easy to solve for c:

(6)(2) = c

We get c = 12 and our equation is now:

eq002

Solving for y when x = 64 we get 8y = 12 or y = 12/8 = 1.5 because the square root of 64 is 8.
