If you mean 2x=40 x=20
but if you mean x^2=40 i think its x=80

You have to divided by 2 on both sides and you get x=20. Checking your answer you multiply 20 by 2 which is 40.

The trainers will be cheaper at Alan's sport shop.

prices ->
Alan's: 27.30
Irene's: 28.00

$\frac{1}{3}$ of 40.95 can be calculated as follows ->

$\frac{1}{3}$ = $\frac{x}{40.95}$
simplify to get that x = 27.30

30% of 40.00 can be calculated as follows ->

$\frac{30}{100}$ = $\frac{x}{40.00}$
simplify to get that x = 28

given that a1=5 and a2=15 are the first two terms of a geometric sequence, determine the values of a3 and a10. Show the calculat

Alekssandra [29.7K]

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

Answer:

2. n = 11

4. g = -2

6. t = 21

8. n = 4

10. y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

2. 63 = -3(1 - 2n)

Dividing both the side by negative 3 we get

$-21=1-2n\\2n=1+21\\2n=22\\n=\frac{22}{2} \\\therefore n=11$

4. -g + 2(3 + g) = -4(g + 1)

First we will open the bracket by distributive property A( B +C) = AB + AC

$-g+2\times 3 + 2\times g = -4\times g + -4\times 1\\-g+6+ 2g=-4g-4\\\textrm{we will take all the g term the left side and the constant to the right side}\\4g-g+2g=-6-4\\5g=-10\\g=\frac{-10}{5}\\\therefore g=-2$

6.-3(t +5 ) + (4t + 2) = 8

Using distributive property A( B +C) = AB + AC we get

$-3\times t + -3\times 5 + 4t + 2=8\\-3t-15+ 4t + 2=8\\t=8+15-2\\t=21\\\therefore t=21\\$

8. -8 - n = -3(2n -4)

Using distributive property A( B +C) = AB + AC we get

$-8 - n = -3\times 2n - -3\times4\\-8-n=-6n+12\\\textrm{all the n terms to the left inside and the constant of the right-hand side}\\6n-n=8+12\\5n=20\\n=\frac{20}{5}\\ \therefore n= 4$

10. -4( 2 - y) + 3y = 3(y - 4)

Using distributive property A( B +C) = AB + AC we get

$-4\times 2 --4\times y + 3y = 3\times y -3\times 4\\-8+4y+3y =3y-12\\\textrm{all the y terms to the left side and the constant to the right side}\\4y+3y-3y=-12+8\\4y=-4\\y=\frac{-4}{4}\\ \therefore y=-1$
