What's greater -5/7 or -2/7

Mathematics
1 answer:
nadezda [96]2 years ago
4 0

I think -2/7.

-2/7 is closer to 0 which is neither positive nor negative.

-5/7 is closer to a whole negative number.

the first term of an arithmetic sequence is 10 and the sum of the first five terms is 250,find the sequence​
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

The  sequence  is:

10, 30, 50, 70, 90.....................

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

First term (a) = 10

Common difference (d) = ?

Sum of first 5 terms (S_{5}) = 250

or, \frac{n}{2} [{2a+(n-1)d}] = 250

or, \frac{5}{2} [2*10 + 4d]=250

or, \frac{5}{2} * 4[5+d]=250

or, 10(5 + d) =250

or, 5 + d = 25

∴ d = 20

Now,

2nd term = a + d = 10 + 20 = 30

3rd term = a + 2d = 10 + 2*20 = 10 + 40 = 50

4th term = a + 3d = 10 + 3*20 = 10 + 60 = 70

5th term = a + 4d = 10 + 4*20 = 10 + 80 = 90

What are the endpoint coordinates for the midsegment of △PQR that is parallel to PQ¯¯¯¯¯?
andriy [413]

Answer:

M(x₄ ,y₄) = (-3.5 , 0.5)  and

N (x₅ ,y₅) = ( -1 , -0.5 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the endpoint coordinates for the mid segment of △PQR that is parallel to PQ be

M(x₄ ,y₄) and N(x₅ ,y₅) such that MN || PQ

point P( x₁ , y₁) ≡ ( -3 ,3 )

point Q( x₂ , y₂) ≡ (2 , 1 )

point R( x₂ , y₂) ≡ (-4 , -2)  

To Find:

M(x₄ ,y₄) = ?  and

N (x₅ ,y₅) = ?

Solution:

We have Mid Point Formula as

Mid\ point(x,y)=(\frac{x_{1}+x_{2} }{2}, \frac{y_{1}+y_{2} }{2})

As M is the mid point of PR and N is the mid point of RQ so we will have

Mid\ pointM(x_{4} ,y_{4})=(\frac{x_{1}+x_{3} }{2}, \frac{y_{1}+y_{3} }{2})

Mid\ pointN(x_{5} ,y_{5})=(\frac{x_{2}+x_{3} }{2}, \frac{y_{2}+y_{3} }{2})

Substituting the given value in above equation we get

Mid\ pointM(x_{4} ,y_{4})=(\frac{-3+-4 }{2}, \frac{3+-2} }{2})

∴ Mid\ pointM(x_{4} ,y_{4})=(\frac{-7} }{2}, \frac{1}{2})

∴ Mid\ pointM(x_{4} ,y_{4})=(-3.5, 0.5)

Similarly,

Mid\ pointN(x_{5} ,y_{5})=(\frac{2+-4 }{2}, \frac{1+-2 }{2})

∴ Mid\ pointN(x_{5} ,y_{5})=(\frac{-2 }{2}, \frac{-1}{2})

∴ Mid\ pointN(x_{5} ,y_{5})=(-1, -0.5)

∴ M(x₄ ,y₄) = (-3.5 , 0.5)  and

  N (x₅ ,y₅) = ( -1 , -0.5 )

31-inch piece of steel is cut into three pieces so that the second piece is twice as long as the first piece and the third piece
pychu [463]

"31-inch piece of steel is cut into three pieces"

Call the pieces a,b,c

a + b + c = 31

"second piece is twice as long as the first piece"

b = 2a

"third piece is one inch more than seven times the length of the first piece"

c = 1 + 7a

Ok, we have our equations, let's substitute the second and third into the first.

a + 2a + 1 + 7a = 31

10a + 1 = 31

10a = 30

a = 30/10 = 3

b = 2a = 6

c = 1 + 7a = 22

Check: 3 + 6 + 22 = 31, good

Answer: 3 inches, 6 inches, 22 inches

1. x + 2x - 1 = 38<br> Inverse operation
Lena [83]

Answer:

x=13

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you add the x's together: 2x+x=3x

Now you have:3x-1=38

Add 1 to both sides: 3x=39

1 cancel on the left side of the equation

Divide 3 on both sides: x=39/3

3 cancels on the left side and 39 divided by 3 is 13:

x=13

Hope this helps!
