Answer:

IT = 13.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall: According to the Centroid theorem the Centroid of is ⅔ of the distance of the vertex of the triangle to the midpoint of the opposite side.

This means that:

ST = ⅔(IT)

ST = 9 (given)

Substitute

9 = ⅔(IT)

Multiply both sides by 3

3*9 = 2(IT)

27 = 2(IT)

Divide both sides by 2

27/2 = IT

IT = 13.5

Finding a price that is 30% lower than $2075 is the same as finding a price that is 70% of $2075.

That means all we need to do is calculate what is 70% of $2075.

Convert 70% into decimal form which is 0.70.

Next, multiply $2075 by 0.70.

$2075*0.70 = $1452.50

The price the travel agent found was $1452.50

Note: If you don't know how to multiply by decimals you can multiply $2075 by 7 than divide the result by 10 (move the decimal point one place to the left).

A coin favors heads when tossed and there are 15 heads in 18 tosses

Alexxandr [17]

This is not correct. You might think you are "on a roll" but the probability of heads on any toss is just as likely as the probability of tails because each coin toss is an independent event, meaning, two events related in such a way that knowing about the occurrence of one event has no effect on the probability of the the other event. This would hold true if you have tossed these 15 heads and you believe that tails "are due". It is an independent event.

What is the 9th term of the geometric sequence 4, −20, 100, …?

sveta [45]

First, we are going to find the common ratio of our geometric sequence using the formula: $r= \frac{a_{n}}{a_{n-1}}$ . For our sequence, we can infer that $a_{n}=-20$ and $a_{n-1}=4$ . So lets replace those values in our formula:
$r= \frac{-20}{4}$
$r=-5$

Now that we have the common ratio, lets find the explicit formula of our sequence. To do that we are going to use the formula: $a_{n}=a_{1}*r^{n-1}$ . We know that $a_{1}=4$ ; we also know for our previous calculation that $r=-5$ . So lets replace those values in our formula:
$a_{n}=4*(-5)^{n-1}$

Finally, to find the 9th therm in our sequence, we just need to replace $n$ with 9 in our explicit formula:
$a_{9}=4*(-5)^{9-1}$
$a_{9}=4*(-5)^{8}$
$a_{9}=1562500$

We can conclude that the 9th term in our geometric sequence is <span>1,562,500</span>
