Answer:

S_g=  33.333cm

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

Arc of 30 cm

10% reduction after each swing

Generally sum of geometric sequence is given by the equation

    S_g=\frac{a(1-r^n)}{1-r}

Mathematically solving for total distance traveled we have

    S_g=\frac{30(1-(0.10^5)}{1-(0.10)}

    S_g=\frac{30}{0.9}

Therefore the total distance traveled  by the pendulum after 5 swings

    S_g=  33.333cm

In a wood there are 420 silver birch trees, 160 oak trees and 300 wild berry trees. what percentage of the trees are oak trees?
Alex73 [517]
I would be happy to help!
First you need to find the total amount of trees by adding up all of the different trees:
420+160+300=880
Next you need to divide the amount of oak trees by the amount of trees in the woods:
160÷880=0.182 (rounded)
Finally to find the precentage we need to multiply the 0.182 by 100 to get the precentage of 18.2% oak trees.

Line L passes through the points (1, 1) and (7, 8). What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to line L?
asambeis [7]

When a line passes through the two points (x_{1},y_{1}) and (x_{2},y_{2}) , its slope is given by the formula m= \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

In this question, a line L passes through the points (1,1) and (7,8)

So, its slope is given by m=\frac{8-1}{7-1}

m=\frac{7}{6}

When two lines are perpendicular, then the product of their slopes is -1.

Since, the slope of the line L is \frac{7}{6} , so the slope of the line which is perpendicular to the given line L is \frac{-6}{7} as the product of \frac{-6}{7} \times \frac{7}{6}=-1.

On Monday, during a one day sale, the price of a suit was decreased by 20%. On Tuesday, the price of the suit was changed back t
nignag [31]

Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

If we consider the original price of the piece of suit is x.

Given that, on Monday during a one day sale, the price of the suit was decreased by 20%.

Therefore, the new price of the suit on Monday is x( 1 - \frac{20}{100}) = 0.8x.

Now, the price of the suit on Tuesday was changed back to the original price i.e. x.

Therefore, the price is increase by (x - 0.8x) = 0.2x from the price of 0.8x.

So, the percentage change in price of the suit on Tuesday is \frac{0.2x}{0.8x} \times 100 = 25%. (Answer)
