Answer:

49

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be unknown number which should be added to numbers 1, 11, 23 to get geometric progression. Then numbers 1 + x, 11 + x, 23 + x are first three terms of geometric progression.

Hence,

b_1=1+x\\ \\b_2=11+x\\ \\b_3=23+x

and

b_2=b_1\cdot q\Rightarrow 11+x=(1+x)q\\ \\b_3=b_2\cdot q\Rightarrow 23+x=(11+x)q

Express q:

q=\dfrac{11+x}{1+x}=\dfrac{23+x}{11+x}

Solve this equation. Cross multiply:

(11+x)^2=(1+x)(23+x)\\ \\121+22x+x^2=23+x+23x+x^2\\ \\121+22x=23+24x\\ \\22x-24x=23-121\\ \\-2x=-98\\ \\2x=98\\ \\x=49

Answer:

Answer:

safe speed for the larger radius track u= √2 v

Explanation:

The sum of the forces on either side is the same, the only difference is the radius of curvature and speed.

Also given that r_1= smaller radius

r_2= larger radius curve

r_2= 2r_1..............i

let u be the speed of larger radius curve

now, \sum F = \frac{mv^2}{r_1} =\frac{mu^2}{r_2}∑F=

⇒u= √2 v

therefore, safe speed for the larger radius track u= √2 v

If the graph of f(x) has the point (2,7) then what is one point that will be on the graph of f-1(x)
IRINA_888 [86]

The graph of f^-1 (x) is called the inverse function of f (x). The relationship between the two is that the point (x,y) is on the graph of f (x) if and only if the point (y,x) is on the graph of f^-1 (x).

This means that if the point (2, 7) is on f (x), therefore the point (7, 2) is on f^-1 (x).
