Answer:

a) 7a/8; b) 5a/8  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

AP = 2PQ = 2QB

Calculations:

1. A to the midpoint of QB

        a = AP + PQ + QB

If 2PQ = 2QB.

    PQ = QB and

    AP = 2PQ

∴      a = 2PQ + 2PQ = 4PQ

    PQ = a/4

    AP = 2PQ = a/2

Let M be the midpoint of QB.

AM = AP + PQ + QM

     = a/2 + a/4 + a/8

     = 7a/8

2. Midpoints of AP and QB

Let N be the midpoint of AP

NM = NP + PQ + QM

      = a/4 +a/4 + a/8 =

      = 5a/8

Find the fifth term in the sequence that is defined as follows:
hram777 [196]

Answer : The fifth term in the sequence is -2.

Step-by-step explanation :

As we are given that the expression to calculate the n^{th} term.

The expression is as follows:

a_n=2(-1)^n

where,

n is the number of term

Given:

n = 5

Now putting the value of n in the above expression, we get:

a_n=2(-1)^n

a_5=2(-1)^5

a_5=2\times (-1)

a_5=-2

Therefore, the fifth term in the sequence is -2.

Which ordered pair would form a proportional relationship with the point graphed below? (60,-20)
valentina_108 [34]

Given:

The graphed point is (60,-20).

To find:

The ordered pair that would form a proportional relationship with the given point.

Solution:

If y is proportional to x, then

y\propto x

y=kx

\dfrac{y}{x}=k

Where, k is the constant of proportionality.

For the given point,

k=\dfrac{-20}{60}

k=\dfrac{-1}{3}

For option (A),

k=\dfrac{30}{-10}

k=-3\neq \dfrac{-1}{3}

For option (B),

k=\dfrac{-15}{30}

k=-\dfrac{1}{2}\neq \dfrac{-1}{3}

For option (C),

k=\dfrac{10}{-30}

k=\dfrac{-1}{3}.

The point (-30,10) gives the same value of the constant of proportionality. So, the point (-30,10) forms a proportional relationship with the given point.

Therefore, the correct option is C.
