Answer:

answer is 90 for first term

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the terms be  

First term x

We will use the formula s∞=x/1−r to find the sum of an infinite geometric series, where −1<r<1.  

We know the sum and the common ratio, so we'll be solving for x where r =4/5

s∞=x/1−r

450=x/1−4/5

450=x/1/5

450=5x

x=90

this is the first term x1 = 90

we know that common ratio is 4/5, so multiplying the first term by factor 4/5 to get the second term  

90 x 4/5=   72 second term

Answer:

C) 90

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of an infinite geometric series is:

S = a₁ / (1 − r)

where a₁ is the first term and r is the common ratio.

450 = a₁ / (1 − 4/5)

450 = a₁ / (1/5)

450 = 5a₁

a₁ = 90

Find the coordinates of the vertex of the following parabola algebraically. Write your answer as and x,y point
Likurg_2 [28]

The equation of the parabola in the vertex form is y =  (x - 3)^{2} - 5 with ( 3, -5) is the vertex of the parabola and 1 is the multiplier

In the above question, A parabolic equation is given as follows:

Y = x^2 - 6x + 4

The equation of the parabola in the vertex form is :

y = a (x - h)^{2} + k

Where a is a multiplier in the equation and (h,k) are the coordinates of the vertex

So, in order to obtain this form, we will use the method of completing square :

Y = x^2 - 6x + 4

y = x^{2} - 6x + (9 -9) + 4

y = (x - 3)^{2} + ( -9 + 4)

y =  (x - 3)^{2} - 5

where, ( 3, -5) is the vertex of the parabola and 1 is the multiplier

Hence, The equation of the parabola in the vertex form is y =  (x - 3)^{2} - 5 with ( 3, -5) is the vertex of the parabola and 1 is the multiplier

What is the substitution property of equality
malfutka [58]
The substitution property of equality, one of the eight properties of equality, states that if x = y, then x can be substituted in for y in any equation, and y can be substituted for x in any equation.

What is the measure of angle x? m&lt;x = ?
Ainat [17]
Hey there! :)

The total measure for triangles is 180°

You already know 2 angles. Add both angles and subtract from 180 to find x

37 + 82 = 119

180 - 119 = 61

m∠x = 61°

Hope this helps :)

In segment AC, the midpoint is B. If segments AC = 5x-9 and AB = 2x, what is the measure of segment AC.
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

The measure of segment AC is 36 units

Step-by-step explanation:

- The mid-point divides the segment into two equal parts in length

- B is the mid point of segment AC

- That means B divides segment AC into two equal parts in length

∴ AB = BC

∵ AC = 5x - 9

∵ AB = 2x

- The two parts AB and BC are equal in length

∴ BC = 2x

∵ AC = AB + BC

- Substitute the values of AB and BC in the expression of AC

∴ AC = 2x + 2x

∴ AC = 4x

∵ AC = 5x - 9

- Equate the two values of AC

∴ 5x - 9 = 4x

- Add 9 to both sides

∴ 5x = 4x + 9

- Subtract 4x from both sides

∴ x = 9

- Substitute the value of x in any expression of AC

∵ AC = 4x

∵ x = 9

∴ AC = 4(9) = 36

* The measure of segment AC is 36 units
