Answer:

The sixth term is -243/2048 ⇒ answer B

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain the geometric sequence

- There is a constant ratio between each two consecutive numbers

- Ex:

# 5  ,  10  ,  20  ,  40  ,  80  ,  ………………………. (×2)

# 5000  ,  1000  ,  200  ,  40  ,  …………………………(÷5)  

* General term (nth term) of a Geometric sequence:

# U1 = a  ,  U2  = ar  ,  U3  = ar²  ,  U4 = ar³  ,  U5 = ar^4

# Un = ar^(n-1), where a is the first term , r is the constant ratio

  between each two consecutive terms  and n is the position of the

  number in the sequence

- Ex: U5 = ar^4  ,  U7 = ar^6  ,  U10 = ar^9  ,  U12 = ar^11

- Lets solve the problem

∵ The sequence is 1/2 , -3/8 , 9/32

- Lets find the constant ratio r

∵ The first term is a = 1/2

∵ The second term is U2 = ar

∵ The second term  U2 = -3/8

∴ ar = -3/8

∴ 1/2 r = -3/8 ⇒ multiply both sides by 2

∴ r = -3/4

- Lets find the sixth term

∵ a = 1/2 and r = -3/4

∵ n = 6

∴ U6 = ar^5

∴ U6 = 1/2 (-3/4)^5 = 1/2 × -243/1024 = -243/2048

* The sixth term is -243/2048

This is confusing<br> (2x+y)^2−(x−2y)^2
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

{(2x + y)}^{2}  -  {(x - 2y)}^{2}

<  {(x + y)}^{2}  =  {x}^{2}  + 2xy +  {y}^{2}  >

<  {(x - y)}^{2}  =  {x}^{2}  - 2xy +  {y}^{2}  >

{(2x)}^{2}  + 2(2x)(y) +  {(y)}^{2}  -  {(x)}^{2}  - 2(x)(2y) +  {(2y)}^{2}

{4x}^{2}  + 4xy +  {y}^{2}  -  {x}^{2}  - 4xy +  {4y}^{2}

{4x}^{2}   -  {x}^{2}  +  {4y}^{2}  +  {y}^{2}

= {3x}^{2}  +  {5y}^{2}

Answer:

52.9 inches .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the triangular indentation has an area of 100 in.² and the base and height of this traingle are represented by expressions 3x and x+3 respectively . We need to find out the <u>perimeter </u>to the nearest tenth.

As we know that the area of triangle is ,

\rm\longrightarrow Area_{\triangle}=\dfrac{1}{2}(base)(height)

Substituting the respective values,

\rm\longrightarrow 100\ =\dfrac{1}{2}(x+3)(3x)\\\\\rm\longrightarrow 2(100) = 3x(x+3)\\\\\rm\longrightarrow200 = 3x^2+9x\\\\\rm\longrightarrow 3x^2+9x-200=0

On using the <u>Quadratic</u><u> formula</u> , we have;

\rm\longrightarrow x =\dfrac{-9\pm\sqrt{9^2-4(3)(-200)}}{2(3)} \\\\\rm\longrightarrow x =\dfrac{-9\pm \sqrt{81+1200}}{6}\\\\\rm\longrightarrow x =\dfrac{-9\pm \sqrt{1281}}{6}

On simplifying above , we will get ,

\rm\longrightarrow x = 6.802,-9.802

Since sides can't be negative, therefore,

\rm\longrightarrow\underline{\underline{ x =6.802}}

Therefore ,

  • \rm\longrightarrow Base = 3x =3(6.802)in = 20.406\ in\\
  • \rm\longrightarrow Height = x +3=6.802+3=9.802\ in

Next let's find out the <u>hypotenuse </u>using Pythagoras theorem, as ;

\rm\longrightarrow h=\sqrt{ b^2+p^2}\\

\rm\longrightarrow h =\sqrt{ (20.406)^2+(9.802)^2}\\

\rm\longrightarrow h =\sqrt{416.40+96.07}\\

\rm\longrightarrow h = 22.63\ in

Now we may find perimeter as ,

\rm\longrightarrow P = p + b + h \\

\rm\longrightarrow P = (22.63 + 9.802 + 20.406)in.

\\\rm\longrightarrow P = 52.89 \ in.\\

\rm\longrightarrow \underline{\underline{ Perimeter = 52.9\ in .}}

Find the geometric mean of 5 and 7
dsp73

Answer:

\sqrt{35}

Step-by-step explanation:

A geometric mean is just \sqrt[n]{term one * term two * term three * etc.}, where n is the number of terms.

i.e. Geometric mean of 5, 6, 7: there are three values, so the mean is \sqrt[3]{5*6*7}
