Answer:

Person A paints the house in 12 days.

person B paints the house in 60 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

The together rate is the sum of each separate rate.

Person A can paint the neighbor's house 5 times as fast as Person B.

This means that the rate of person A is 1/x, and the rate of person B is 1/5x.

The year A and B worked together, it took them 10 days.

This means that:

$\frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{5x} = \frac{1}{10}$

Multiplying everything by 10x

$10 + 2 = x$

$x = 12$

This means that:

Person A paints the house in 12 days.

person B paints the house in 60 days.

The vertex angle of an isosceles triangle measures 42°. A base angle in the triangle has a measure given by

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

x=33

Each base angle measures 69 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

the 2 base angles are equal so the measure of 1 base angle = (180 - 42) / 2

= 69 degrees

2x + 3 = 69

2x = 66

x = 33

Given the sequence in the table below, determine the sigma notation of the sum for term 4 through term 15. N an 1 4 2 −12 3 36 t

Rzqust [24]

By applying basic property of Geometric progression we can say that sum of 15 terms of a sequence whose first three terms are 5, -10 and 2 is $\sum_{n=4}^{15} 5(-2)^{n-1}$$$

<h3>What is sequence ?</h3>

Sequence is collection of numbers with some pattern .

Given sequence

$a_{1}=5\\\\a_{2}=-10\\\\\\a_{3}=20$

We can see that

$\frac{a_1}{a_2}=\frac{-10}{5}=-2\\$

and

$\frac{a_2}{a_3}=\frac{20}{-10}=-2\\$

Hence we can say that given sequence is Geometric progression whose first term is 5 and common ratio is -2

Now $n^{th}$ term of this Geometric progression can be written as

$T_{n}= 5\times(-2)^{n-1}$

So summation of 15 terms can be written as

$\sum_{n=4}^{15} T_{n}\\\\$\\$\sum_{n=4}^{15} 5(-2)^{n-1}$$$

By applying basic property of Geometric progression we can say that sum of 15 terms of a sequence whose first three terms are 5, -10 and 2 is $\sum_{n=4}^{15} 5(-2)^{n-1}$$$

What is the difference between an irrational number and an integer?? please explain!

SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

Explanation: Irrational numbers are non-terminating, recurring decimal numbers i.e, a decimal expansion that neither terminates nor becomes periodic which cannot be expressed in the form of a fraction. ... Integer is a complete entity that includes every natural number along with its negatives and zero.
