Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It really depend what number, or what type of number you are multiplying, it's kind of like multiplication you're just doing it backwards. Say that you were trying to divide 20 by 5 you think in your head OK five times what equals 20 and your answer would be four because 5×4 is 20 that's the easiest way to think of it that did not help you with your question tell me in the comments and I will find a better way to explain it.

The sum of two terms of gp is 6 and that of first four terms is 15/2.Find the sum of first six terms.

Gnoma [55]

Given:

The sum of two terms of GP is 6 and that of first four terms is $\dfrac{15}{2}.$

To find:

The sum of first six terms.

Solution:

We have,

$S_2=6$

$S_4=\dfrac{15}{2}$

Sum of first n terms of a GP is

$S_n=\dfrac{a(1-r^n)}{1-r}$ ...(i)

Putting n=2, we get

$S_2=\dfrac{a(1-r^2)}{1-r}$

$6=\dfrac{a(1-r)(1+r)}{1-r}$

$6=a(1+r)$ ...(ii)

Putting n=4, we get

$S_4=\dfrac{a(1-r^4)}{1-r}$

$\dfrac{15}{2}=\dfrac{a(1-r^2)(1+r^2)}{1-r}$

$\dfrac{15}{2}=\dfrac{a(1+r)(1-r)(1+r^2)}{1-r}$

$\dfrac{15}{2}=6(1+r^2)$ (Using (ii))

Divide both sides by 6.

$\dfrac{15}{12}=(1+r^2)$

$\dfrac{5}{4}-1=r^2$

$\dfrac{5-4}{4}=r^2$

$\dfrac{1}{4}=r^2$

Taking square root on both sides, we get

$\pm \sqrt{\dfrac{1}{4}}=r$

$\pm \dfrac{1}{2}=r$

$\pm 0.5=r$

Case 1: If r is positive, then using (ii) we get

$6=a(1+0.5)$

$6=a(1.5)$

$\dfrac{6}{1.5}=a$

$4=a$

The sum of first 6 terms is

$S_6=\dfrac{4(1-(0.5)^6)}{(1-0.5)}$

$S_6=\dfrac{4(1-0.015625)}{0.5}$

$S_6=8(0.984375)$

$S_6=7.875$

Case 2: If r is negative, then using (ii) we get

$6=a(1-0.5)$

$6=a(0.5)$

$\dfrac{6}{0.5}=a$

$12=a$

The sum of first 6 terms is

$S_6=\dfrac{12(1-(-0.5)^6)}{(1+0.5)}$

$S_6=\dfrac{12(1-0.015625)}{1.5}$

$S_6=8(0.984375)$

$S_6=7.875$

Therefore, the sum of the first six terms is 7.875.

A piece of timber is x cm long. 7 cm is cut off. How much is left?

anygoal [31]

Answer:

x-7>0

Straight answer: x-7

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the timber is X cm long and 7cm was cut off, there remaining amount is x - 7cm. In order for 7cm to be cut off, the timber must have been > 7cm long => x > 7 => x - 7 > 0
