1 answer:

5 0

$\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{3}{4}y=-2\ \ \ |Add\ \frac{3}{4}y\\\\
\frac{1}{2}x=-2+\frac{3}{4}y\ \ \ |Add\ 2\\\\
\frac{1}{2}x+2=\frac{3}{4}y\ \ |*\frac{4}{3}\\\\
y=\frac{4}{3}(\frac{1}{2}x+2)\\\\
\boxed{y=\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{8}{3}}$

The sum of first three terms of a finite geometric series is -7/10 and their product is -1/125. [Hint: Use a/r, a, and ar to rep

Alchen [17]

Ooh, fun

geometric sequences can be represented as
$a_n=a(r)^{n-1}$
so the first 3 terms are
$a_1=a$
$a_2=a(r)$
$a_2=a(r)^2$

the sum is -7/10
$\frac{-7}{10}=a+ar+ar^2$
and their product is -1/125
$\frac{-1}{125}=(a)(ar)(ar^2)=a^3r^3=(ar)^3$

from the 2nd equation we can take the cube root of both sides to get
$\frac{-1}{5}=ar$
note that a=ar/r and ar²=(ar)r
so now rewrite 1st equation as
$\frac{-7}{10}=\frac{ar}{r}+ar+(ar)r$
subsituting -1/5 for ar
$\frac{-7}{10}=\frac{\frac{-1}{5}}{r}+\frac{-1}{5}+(\frac{-1}{5})r$
which simplifies to
$\frac{-7}{10}=\frac{-1}{5r}+\frac{-1}{5}+\frac{-r}{5}$
multiply both sides by 10r
-7r=-2-2r-2r²
add (2r²+2r+2) to both sides
2r²-5r+2=0
solve using quadratic formula
for $ax^2+bx+c=0$
$x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$
so
for 2r²-5r+2=0
a=2
b=-5
c=2

$r=\frac{-(-5) \pm \sqrt{(-5)^2-4(2)(2)}}{2(2)}$
$r=\frac{5 \pm \sqrt{25-16}}{4}$
$r=\frac{5 \pm \sqrt{9}}{4}$
$r=\frac{5 \pm 3}{4}$
so
$r=\frac{5+3}{4}=\frac{8}{4}=2$ or $r=\frac{5-3}{4}=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}$

use them to solve for the value of a
$\frac{-1}{5}=ar$
$\frac{-1}{5r}=a$
try for r=2 and 1/2
$a=\frac{-1}{10}$ or $a=\frac{-2}{5}$

test each
for a=-1/10 and r=2
a+ar+ar²= $\frac{-1}{10}+\frac{-2}{10}+\frac{-4}{10}=\frac{-7}{10}$
it works

for a=-2/5 and r=1/2
a+ar+ar²= $\frac{-2}{5}+\frac{-1}{5}+\frac{-1}{10}=\frac{-7}{10}$
it works

both have the same terms but one is simplified

the 3 numbers are $\frac{-2}{5}$ , $\frac{-1}{5}$ , and $\frac{-1}{10}$

Shop only had 2 types of stamps left using

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

{3¢, 28¢} or {4¢, 19¢} or {7¢, 10¢}

Step-by-step explanation:

54 = 1×54 = 2×27 = 3×18 = 6×9

Possible values of the stamps are 1 more than the values of a pair of factors. Of course, a 2¢ and 55¢ stamp will not permit paying 54¢ in postage, so that combination won't work. However, other pairs that will work are ...

3¢ and 28¢
4¢ and 19¢
7¢ and 10¢
