a_3 is 45 and a_10 is 98415

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

a_1 = 5

a_2 = 15

First of all we have to calculate the common ratio of the sequence. The common ratio is the ratio between two consecutive terms of a geometric sequence.

So,

r=\frac{a_2}{a_1} = \frac{15}{5} = 3

The explicit formula for geometric sequence is:

a_n = a_1.r^{n-1}

Putting the value of r and a_1

a_n = 5.(3)^{n-1}

Putting n=3 in the explicit formula

a_3 =5.3^{3-1}\\= 5 * 3^2\\=5 * 9\\= 45

Putting n=10 for tenth term

a_{10} =5.3^{10-1}\\=5*3^9\\=5 * 19683\\=98415

Hence,

a_3 is 45 and a_10 is 98415

I'm assuming D is the center of the circle.  See the new figure.

Angle BDC = 106 degrees, that's the definition of arc measure.

Triangle BDC is isosceles (two radii make congruent sides) so the two remaining angles in BDC are equal, DBC=DCB=(180-106)/2=37 degrees.

Angle BAC = 106/2 = 53 degrees, subtending the arc of 106 degrees.

Angle CAD = 53/2 = 26.5 degrees because AD is a bisector, the shared hypotenuse of congruent right triangles AED and AFD.

AFD is also congruent to CFD, so angle DCA is also 26.5 degrees

Angle ACB is the sum of DCA and DCB, ACB = 26.5 + 37 = 63.5 degrees

The angle subtends the arc we seek, whose measure must be double:

10x - 23 = 2(63.5) = 127 degrees

10x = 150

x = 15

Answer: 15

Which expressions represent the difference of exactly two expressions?
evablogger [386]

Answer:

  1, 3, 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Among these answer choices, you're looking for two expressions separated by a minus sign. Choice 2 is only one expression, so does not meet the required criterion.

  1. 6(x+7)-2

  3. 4f-2g

  4. 3xyz-10
