this is gp because

because ratio of next term to previous term is always same.

8/16= 4/8 = 1/2

so common ratio is 1/2

first term is a = 16

so nth term of a gp is given as

Tn = ar^(n-1)

T10 = 16 × (1/2)^(10-1)

= 16 × (1/2)^9 = 1/32

Suppose that a family wants to increase the size of the garden which is currently 16 feet long and 8 feet wide without changing

Cloud [144]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Sides of the garden

16 feet and 8 feet

New dimensions of the garden

16 + 2x and 8 + x

1. The area of the new garden

(16 + 2x)(8 + x) =
2x^2 + 32x + 128

2. The difference in area

2x^2 + 32x + 128 - 16*8 =
2x^2 + 32x

3. x= 2 effect on the area

2*2^2 + 32*2 =
8 + 64 =
72 ft²

4. Area difference = 160

2x^2 + 32x = 160
x^2 + 16x - 80 = 0
Solving we get positive root of 4 ft

5. Area difference = 4 times

2x^2 + 32x = 128*3
2x^2 + 32x - 384 = 0
x^2 + 16x - 192= 0
Solving we get positive root of 8 ft

From a group of 12 students, we want to select a random sample of 4 students to serve on a university committee. How many combin

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

495 combinations of 4 students can be selected.

Step-by-step explanation:

The order of the students in the sample is not important. So we use the combinations formula to solve this question.

Combinations formula:

$C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

How many combination of random samples of 4 students can be selected?

4 from a set of 12. So

$C_{n,x} = \frac{12!}{4!(8)!} = 495$

495 combinations of 4 students can be selected.
