Answer:

= 0.0625 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a piece of paper = 1 unit²

then we tear this paper into half.

So area becomes 0.5 unit²

In this way the sequence formed will be

1, 0.5, 0.25, .........

This sequence is a geometric sequence

as \frac{T_{2} }{T_{1}}= \frac{0.5}{1}=0.5

common ratio r = 0.5

We have to find the 5th term of this sequence

Explicit formula of a geometric sequence is represented by

             T_{n} =a(r)^{n-1}

Now      T_{5} =1(0.5)^{5-1}

                   = (0.5)⁴

                   = 0.0625 in²

After 5 tears area would be  0.0625 in²

Answer:

Area = \frac{1}{16} square units

Step-by-step explanation:

To predict the area of the piece of paper after 5 tears we can use a geometric sequence.

Each time a piece is torn, half of the previous area is lost. If the area of the first piece is 1 square unit then:

a_1 = 1\\\\r = \frac{1}{2}\\\\a_2 = 1 *\frac{1}{2}\\\\a_2 = \frac{1}{2}\\\\a_n = 1(\frac{1}{2})^{n-1}\\\\a_5 = 1(\frac{1}{2})^{5-1}

a_5 = \frac{1}{16} square units

<h3>Answer:</h3>

<u>By angle bisector property</u>,

  • 11x + 23 = 8x + 35
  • 11x - 8x = 35 - 23
  • 3x = 12
  • x = 4°

So, <u>m∠ABD</u> = 8x + 35

  • 8 × 4 + 35
  • 32 + 35 = 67°

<u>m∠CBD</u> = 11x + 23

  • 11 × 4 + 23
  • 44 + 23 = 67°

<u>m∠ABC</u> = 67° + 67° = 134°

The total income for the Mr. Jones’s apartment building can be represented by the equation 2R minus C minus 2P, where r is the a
son4ous [18]

total income= 2R-C-2P

R= omoun tof rent paid by each tenant = $700

C= cable bill = $100

P = Phone bill = $50

Replace the values:

Total income = 2(700)-100-2(50)

total income= 1,400-100-100 = 1,400-200= $1,200

Total income =$1,200

Teboho has to sell a certain number of cars each month. For every car he sells over and above this number he earns 17% commissio
Nastasia [14]

The commission earned are R41123.17, R47931.67 and R15024.09

<h3>The prices of the cars before VAT was added</h3>

The VAT included prices are given as:

R271 800,00; R316 800,00 and R99 300,00.

The VAT rate is 12.36%.

So, the price before VAT is calculated as:

VAT included = Price without VAT * (1 + 12.36%)

This gives

VAT included = Price without VAT * 1.1236

So, we have:

Price without VAT = VAT included/1.1236

For the three cars, we have:

Price without VAT = R271 800.00/1.1236 = R241901

Price without VAT = R316800.00 /1.1236 = R281951

Price without VAT = R99300.00/1.1236 = R88377

Hence, the prices of the cars before VAT was added are R241901, R281951 and R88377

<h3>The commission he earned on the cars.​</h3>

This is calculated as:

Commission = Price * 17%

So, we have:

Commission = R241901 * 17% = R41123.17

Commission = R281951 * 17% = R47931.67

Commission = R88377 * 17% = R15024.09

Hence, the commission earned are R41123.17, R47931.67 and R15024.09
