Answer:

The value of the 13^{th} term is ≈ 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

A geometric sequence is a series of numbers where each term is computed by multiplying the previous term by a constant, <em>r</em> also known as the common ratio.

The formula to compute the n^{th} term of a GP is: a_{n}=a_{1}\times r^{n-1}

Here, <em>a</em>₁ is the first term.

It is provided that <em>a</em>₄ = 19625 and <em>a₉ </em>= 95.

Determine the value of <em>a</em>₁ and <em>r</em> as follows:

\frac{a_{4}}{a_{9}}=\frac{a_{1}r^{4-1}}{a_{1}r^{9-1}}  \\\frac{19625}{95}= \frac{r^{3}}{r^{8}}r^{5}=\frac{95}{19625}\\ r=(\frac{95}{19625})^{1/5}\\=0.344

The common ratio is, <em>r</em> = 0.344.

The value of <em>a</em>₁ is:

a_{4}=19625\\a_{1}\times(0.344)^{3}=19625\\a_{1}=\frac{19625}{0.040707584} \\=482096.898\\\approx482097

The first term is, <em>a</em>₁ = 482097.

13th term of this geometric sequence is:

a_{13}=a_{1}\times r^{13-1}\\=482097\times (0.344)^{12}\\=1.3234\\\approx1

Thus, the 13^{th} term is approximately equal to 1.

How many solutions exist for the given equation?<br> 3(x - 2) = 22 -x
alexgriva [62]
There is only one solution because it is a linear equation.
3x - 6 = 22 - x
3x + x = 22 + 6
4x = 28
X = 7

The graphs of three functions are shown.
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

  • The square root and quadratic function share a y-intercept.
  • The range of the square root and absolute value function are the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

Y-intercepts are the same when the curves meet the y-axis at the same point. That is true of the root and quadratic functions.

X-intercepts are the same when the curves meet the x-axis at the same point. None of these functions share an x-intercept.

The ranges of the functions are the same when they have the same vertical extent. The range of the quadratic is different from the range of the other two functions.

The absolute value and root functions have the same minimum (lower end of their range). That is the same as the maximum of the quadratic function.

__

The statements that match the graphs are ...

  • The square root and quadratic function share a y-intercept.
  • The range of the square root and absolute value function are the same.

A gun mass of 5 kg fired a bullet of mass 10 g with the velocity of 360 km/h. What
klemol [59]

Answer:

The recoil velocity of the gun is 0.72\,\,\frac{km}{h}  and is pointing in opposite direction to the velocity of the bullet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use conservation of linear momentum, which states that the momentum of the bullet (product of the bullet's mass times its speed) should equal in absolute value the momentum of the recoiling gun (its mass times its recoil velocity).

We also write the mass of the bullet in the same units as the mass of the gun (for example kilograms). Mass of the bullet = 0.010 kg

In mathematical terms, we have:

5\, kg * v= 0.01 \,kg\,* 360\,\frac{km}{h} \\v=\frac{0.01\,*360}{5} \,\,\frac{km}{h}\\v=0.72\,\,\frac{km}{h}
