An=a1r^(n-1)
given
a5=1/24
a10=1/768
we know that
a5=1/24=a1r^(5-1) and
a10=1/768=a1r^(10-1)
so
1/24=a1r^4
1/768=a1r^9
(a1r^9)/(a1r^4)=r^5=(1/768)/(1/24)=1/32
r^5=1/32
take 5th root of both sides
r=1/2
we have
a5=a1r^4=1/24
evaluate r^4 or (1/2)^4
1/16
a1(1/16)=1/24
times both sides by 16/1
a1=16/24
a1=2/3
the first term is 2/3
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that a license plate consist of 5 digits and 5 uppercase letters
Digits used=0,1,2,..9
Total number of letters=26
Repetition is not allowed
Total number of odd digits=(1,3,5,7,9)=5
The first place filled by 5
Second place filled by 4
Third place filled by 8
Fourth place filled by 7
Fifth place filled by 6
Sixth place filled by 26
Seventh place filled by 25
Eighth place filled by 24
Ninth place filled by 23
Tenth place filled by 22
Total number of possible different license plates =

Answer: old McDonald has 54 chickens and 2 cows.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of chickens that old McDonald have.
Let y represent the number of cows that old McDonald have.
He counted 56 heads. A chicken and a cow has one head each. It means that
x + y = 56
He counted 116 legs. A chicken has 2 legs and a cow has 4 legs. It means that
2x + 4y = 116 - - - - - - - - -1
Substituting x = 56 - y into equation 1, it becomes
2(56 - y) + 4y = 116
112 - 2y + 4y = 116
- 2y + 4y = 116 - 112
2y = 4
y = 4/2 = 2
x = 56 - y = 56 - 2
x = 54
Answer:
y=45
x=9
z= 9 root 2
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a right isosceles triangle, so
y=45
x=9
z= 9 root 2
9²+9²=z²
81+81=z²
162=z²
√162=z
z=9√2
