Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the sequence

40, 30, 22.5.......

We want to find the general formula for the sequence.

Let find out if it is arithmetic progression or Geometric progression

Arithmetic progression have a common difference e.g 2,5,8,11...., you will notice they have a common difference of 3.

So, let apply this to the given sequence

40, 30, 22.5.......

d = T2 - T1

d = 30 - 40 = -10

d = T3 - T2

d = 22.5 - 30 = -7.5

So, the difference are not equal, then it is not AP.

Let check for GP, GP have common ratio

r = T2 / T1 = 30 / 40 = 0.75

r = T3 / T2 = 22.5 / 30 = 0.75

Since the common ratio are equal, then, the sequence is GP

The nth term of a G.P is given as

Un = ar^(n-1)

Where

a is first term

r is common ratio

From the given sequence

40, 30, 22.5.......

a = 40 and r = 0.75

Then,

Un = a•r^(n-1)

Un = 40 × 0.75^(n-1)

From indices

a^b / a^c = a^(b-c)

Un = 40 × 0.75ⁿ / 0.75

Un = 53.333 × 0.75ⁿ

Un = 160•0.75ⁿ / 3

That is the nth term at any point

But if we want to find the next term given we know the previous term

From G.P

U1 = a

U2 = U1 × r = ar

U3 = U2 × r = ar × r = ar²

So, in this case r = 0.75 = ¾

So, the previous term multiply by ¾ will give the next term

Then,

Un = U(n-1) × 0.75

Un = ¾ U(n-1)

Un is next term

U(n-1) is previous term

Answer: C, A, D

edit - sorry the title was wrong earlier

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1

in the quadratic formula, the equation is in the format of ax^2 + bx + c

so rearrange this equation so all values are on one side

-6x^2 = -9x + 7

-6x^2 + 9x - 7 =0

so a = -6, b = 9, c = -7

answer = C

Question 2

note that all the values are already on one side for this, so repeat the process from question 1 where the equation is in the format of ax^2 + bx + c

the equation = −6x2 − 8x + 12 = 0

so a = -6, b = -8, c = 12

answer = A

Question 3

(see picture below for steps)

following the same process above, a = 4, b = 45, and c = 24, so plug these values in the quadratic equation shown in the picture below

so you get the answers x = -10.69 and x = -0.56 after putting them in a calculator

answer = D

Answer:

6+1.25t

Step-by-step explanation:

W(in the 1st month)=6+1.25

W(in the 2nd month)=6+1.25+1.25

W(in the 3rd month)=6+1.25+1.25+1.25

W(in the t months)=6+t(1.25)

The given triangle is a Right angled triangle,

By applying trigonometry :

\boxed{\tan( \theta)  =  \frac{opposite  \: \: side}{adjacent \:  \: side} }

  • \tan(45 \degree)  =  \dfrac{7}{a}

  • 1 =  \dfrac{7}{a}

  • a = 7
