16 horses

9 parts of the ratio is 72 cows

divide 72 by 9 for 1 part of the ratio

$\frac{72}{9}$ = 8 ← 1 part of the ratio

2 parts = 2 × 8 = 16 ← number of horses

Change 0.7 to 7/10 and 4 to 1/4,so it'll be 7/10x1/4, then find least common denominator, 40.change fractions to 28/40x10/40=280/40=70

a. First five terms: 9,13,17,21,25

b. Sum of first 25 terms = 1425

c. The given sequence is an arithmetic sequence because the common difference between two consecutive terms is same.

Further explanation:

Given

Formula of sequence

$a_n=4n+5$

1. First 5 terms:

For first 5 terms, we have to put n=1,2,...5,

So,

$For\ n=1\\a_1=4(1)+5\\=4+5\\=9\\For\ n=2\\a_2=4(2)+5\\=8+5\\=13\\For n=3\\a_3=4(3)+5\\=12+5\\=17\\For\ n=4\\a_4= 4(4)+5\\=16+5\\=21\\For\ n=5\\a_5=4(5)+5\\=20+5\\=25\\First\ 5\ terms\ are: 9,13,17,21,25$

2. Sum of first 25 terms:

For that we have to find 25th term first

$a_{25} = 4(25)+5\\=100+5\\=105$

The formula for sum is:

$S_n=\frac{n}{2}(a_1+a_n)}\\Putting\ the\ values\\S_n=\frac{25}{2}(9+105)\\=12.5(114)\\=1425$

3. Type of sequence

The given sequence is an arithmetic sequence because the common difference between two consecutive terms is same.

i.e.

$d=4$
