Just try to follow my description. When two persons are in the cabin, there is only 1 handshake. When a third person comes, he will have to handshake the two people who came before him. So, there will be 2 handshakes. When a fourth person comes, he would make 3 handshakes with the 3 people who came before him. When the fifth person comes, he would make 4 handshakes with the 4 people who came before him. So, you see there is a pattern. The number of handshakes is 1 less than the total number of people inside the cabin. So, if there are 14 people in the cabin, the last person to come in would have to make 13 handshakes with the 13 people who came in first. Obtaining the sum of all the handshakes starting from the 2 handshakes initially to the 13 handshakes, the sum would be

Total handshakes = 2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12+13
Total handshakes = 90

Therefore, there will be a total of 90 handshakes made within the cabin of 14 people.

Find the 6th term of a geometric sequence t3 = 444 and t7 = 7104. So I have to find r. But is this right: 7104 = 444r^4 r^4 = 16
galben [10]

Third term = t3 = ar^2 = 444           eq. (1)

Seventh term = t7 = ar^6 = 7104         eq. (2)

By solving (1) and (2) we get,

              ar^2 = 444    

                => a = 444 / r^2       eq. (3)

And  ar^6 = 7104

 (444/r^2)r^6 = 7104

 444 r^4 = 7104

 r^4 = 7104/444

            = 16

 r2 = 4

 r = 2

Substitute r value in (3)

                         a = 444 / r^2

                             = 444  / 2^2

                             = 444 / 4

                              = 111

Therefore a = 111 and r = 2

Therefore t6 = ar^5

                       = 111(2)^5

                       = 111(32)

                       = 3552.

<span>Therefore the 6th term in the geometric series is 3552.</span>

Express the solution of, x^3 + 2x^2 &lt; x + 2, using interval notation.
Rudiy27

x³ + 2x² - x - 2 < 0

x³ - x + 2x² - 2 < 0

x(x² - 1) - 2(x² - 1) < 0

(x - 2)(x² - 1) < 0

(x - 2)(x - 1)(x + 1) < 0

by chacking we get the solution

x ∈ (-∞,-1) ∪ (-1,1)

If SP is equal to rupees 400 and loss percent is 20% find CP​
Sindrei [870]
  • SP=400
  • Percentage of loss=20%

100-20=80%=400

\\ \rm\longmapsto 80\%\:of\:CP=400

\\ \rm\longmapsto CP=400\times \dfrac{100}{80}

\\ \rm\longmapsto CP=5(100)

\\ \rm\longmapsto CP=500
