if there are 65 boys in a classroom and the ratio of boys to girls is 13:15, how many students are in the class?

1 answer:

6 0

There are 65 boys, and the boy ratio is 13: so to find how they got that, divide 65 by 13 and that is 5. Since we now know it is the amount of people, divided by 5, we can take the girl ratio (15) and multiply it by 5 to get the amount of girls (which is 75). You need to find the total amount of students in the class so add the boys and girls (65+75) and get 140 total students

What is the sum of the first 10 terms of the geometric sequence 4, -12, 36, -144

Oksanka [162]

The sum of the first 10 terms of the sequence 4, -12, 36, -144 is -59058

The given geometric sequence is:

4, -12, 36, -144

The first term, a = 4

The common ratio,

$r = \frac{-12}{4}\\r = -3$

Since we are looking for the sum of the first 10 terms

The number of terms, n = 10

The sum of the first n terms of a geometric sequence is given as:

$S_n = \frac{a(1-r^n)}{1-r} \\S_n = \frac{4(1-(-3)^{10}}{1-(-3)} \\S_n = \frac{4(1-59049)}{4} \\S_n = -59048$

The sum of the first 10 terms of the sequence 4, -12, 36, -144 is -59058

Answer:

x² +14x-15=0

=>x²+15x-x-15=0

=> x(x +15)-1(x+15)=0

=> (x-1)(x+15)=0

=> x = 1 or,x=-15

A pattern rule for a sequence is Start at 8, double each number and add 2. what are the first five numbers

Art [367]

(8 x 2) + 2 = 18 (18 x 2 ) + 2 = 38 (38 x 2) + 2 = 78 (78 x 2) + 2= 158.... can you see the pattern? All numbers end in 8. Thats the only pattern I see.
