What's the missing number

The first three terms of a sequence are given. Round to the nearest thousandth (if necessary). 50, 60,72,... Find the 8th term.

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

179.159

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the sequence :

50, 60, 72,..

The sequence given is a geometric sequence :

For a geometric sequence ;

ar^(n - 1)

a = first term

r = a2 / a1 = 60 / 50 = 1.2

The 8th term ; n =8

a8 = ar^(n - 1)

a8 = 50*1.2^(8 - 1)

a8 = 50*1.2^7

a8 = 50*3.5831808

a8 = 179.15904

a8 = 179.159 (nearest thousandth )

Orthogonally diagonalize the matrix, giving an orthogonal matrix P and a diagonal matrix D. To save time, the eigenvalues are

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

$P=\left(\begin{array}{ccc}-\frac{2}{3}&-\frac{2}{3}&\frac{1}{3}\\\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}&0&\frac{2}{\sqrt{5}}\\-\frac{4}{3\sqrt{5}}&\frac{\sqrt{5}}{3}&\frac{2}{3\sqrt{5}}\end{array}\right)$

Step-by-step explanation:

It is a result that a matrix $A$ is orthogonally diagonalizable if and only if $A$ is a symmetric matrix. According with the data you provided the matrix should be

$A=\left(\begin{array}{ccc}-9&-4&2\\ -4&-9&2\\2&2&-6\\\end{array}\right)$

We know that its eigenvalues are $\lambda_{1}=-14, \lambda_{2}=-5$ , where $\lambda_{2}=-5$ has multiplicity two.

So if we calculate the corresponding eigenspaces for each eigenvalue we have

$E_{\lambda_{1}=-14}=\langle(-2,-2,1)\rangle$ , $E_{\lambda_{2}=-5}=\langle(1,0,2),(-1,1,0)\rangle.$ .

With this in mind we can form the matrices $P, D$ that diagonalizes the matrix $A$ so.

$P=\left(\begin{array}{ccc}-2&-2&1\\1&0&2\\-1&1&0\\\end{array}\right)$

and

$D=\left(\begin{array}{ccc}-14&0&0\\0&-5&0\\0&0&-5\\\end{array}\right)$

Observe that the rows of $P$ are the eigenvectors corresponding to the eigen values.

Now you only need to normalize each row of $P$ dividing by its norm, as a row vector.

The matrix you have to obtain is the matrix shown below

Pls help, I don’t understand how to do this

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

5 parts are shaded and 4 parts are white so:

There are 9 parts all together.

We can then form ratio's of the white areas and the shaded areas:

White Area Ratio =

$\frac{4}{9}$

Shaded Area Ratio =

$\frac{5}{9}$

Let the area of sqaure be equated to x, which means let the entire area of the square equal to x:
