We use the law of the sum of the 3 first terms of the geometric sequence:
\sum_{i=0}^35\left(\dfrac{-2}{3}\right)^i=5\dfrac{1-\left(\dfrac{-2}{3}\right)^4}{1-\left(\dfrac{-2}{3}\right)}\\=5\dfrac{\left(\dfrac{3^4-2^4}{3^4}\right)}{\left(\dfrac{5}{3}\right)}\\=3\left(\dfrac{65}{81}\right)=\dfrac{65}{27}

Perimeter Formula [Triangle]: P = L₁ + L₂ + L₃

  • L₁ is one side
  • L₂ is another side
  • L₃ is the 3rd side

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

L₁ = (6a - 3b)(6a - 3b)

L₂ = (5a + 5c)(5a + 5c)

L₃ = (8c - b)(8c - b)

<u>Step 2: Find Perimeter</u>

  1. Substitute in variables [Perimeter - Triangle]:                                              P = (6a - 3b)² + (5a + 5c)² + (8c - b)²
  2. Expand [FOIL]:                                                                                                P = (36a² - 36ab + 9b²) + (25a² + 50ac + 25c²) + (b² - 16bc + 64c²)
  3. Combine like terms (a²):                                                                                 P = 61a² - 36ab + 9b² + 50ac + 25c² + b² - 16bc + 64c²
  4. Combine like terms (b²):                                                                                P = 61a² + 10b² - 36ab + 50ac + 25c² - 16bc + 64c²
  5. Combine like terms (c²):                                                                                P = 61a² + 10b² + 89c² - 36ab + 50ac - 16bc
  6. Rearrange variables:                                                                                      P = 61a² - 36ab + 50ac + 10b² + 89c² - 16bc
  7. Factor:                                                                                                             P = a(61a - 36b + 50c) + 10b² + 89c² - 16bc

The centroid of a triangle is at (8, 7). One vertex of the triangle is at (0, 1). What is the midpoint of the side opposite this
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

(12,10)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the midpoint of the side opposite this vertex have coordinates B(a,b)

We have the centroid at C(8,7) and the vertex of the triangle at A(0,1).

The centroid divides AB internally in the ratio 2:1

We use the formula:

(\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n},\frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n})

where m:n=2:1 is the ratio of internal division.

We substitute the coordinates of A and B and the ratio to get:

(\frac{2a+1*0}{2+1},\frac{2b+1*1}{2+1})

This should simplify and give us the centroid.

(\frac{2a}{3},\frac{2b+1}{3})=(8,7)

This implies that:

\frac{2a}{3}=8,\frac{2b+1}{3}=7

We solve for a and b

2a=24,2b+1=21

a=12,b=10

Therefore the midpoint of the side opposite this vertex is (12,10)

Point (3,2) lies on the line ax+2y = 10. Find a. ​
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Using y=mx+c

ax+2y=10

Put y as subject of formula

2y= 10-ax

2y= -ax+10

using point (3,2)

2y= -ax+10

2(3)= -a(2)+10

6= -2a+10

Put a as subject of formula

-2a=10-6

-2a=4

a= 4/-2

a= -2

Explain how the Associative Property can be used to mentally find the volume of the prisms shown
Leona [35]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

A prism is a solid object having two identical bases, hence the same cross section along the length. This is a rectangular prism its base is a rectangle. multiplying the three dimensions of a rectangular prism: length, width and height, gives us the volume of a prism:

V=L\times W\times H

Therefore, Associative Property can be used to mentally find the volume of the prisms shown by selecting the easier way of the multiplication. For instance, we can say that:

L=5cm \\ \\ W=18cm \\ \\ H=20cm

In whose case:

V=5\times 18\times 20

To operate this mentally is not an easy way, but<em> what if we rotate this shape? </em>so we say that:

L=18cm \\ \\ W=20cm \\ \\ H=5cm

Then, the volume can be found as:

V=18\times 20\times 5

There are two forms of finding the result. First, multiplying 18 by 20 and then the result by 5, but as in the previous case this is a tricky way to do mentally:

V=(18\times 20)\times 5

Hence, here we can use Associative Property multiplying 20 by 5 and then the result by 18:

V=18\times (20\times 5)

This last arrangement is easier because 20 x 5 is easy to remember given that the result is 100. Then, by multiplying this result by 18 then we get 1800.
