Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The tangent- tangent angle WVU is half the difference of the measure of the intercepted arcs. , that is

5x + 17 = $\frac{1}{2}$ (37x + 5 - (23x - 5) )

5x + 17 = $\frac{1}{2}$ (37x + 5 - 23x + 5)

5x + 17 = $\frac{1}{2}$ (14x + 10) ← multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction )

10x + 34 = 14x + 10 ( subtract 14x from both sides )

- 4x + 34 = 10 ( subtract 34 from both sides )

- 4x = - 24 ( divide both sides by - 4 )

x = 6

A shirt is regularly priced at 42$. It is on sale for 15% off of the regular price. What is the sale price of the shirt ?

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

$35.7

Step-by-step explanation:

you can convert 15% to a decimal by dividing by 100.

15/100 = .15

if you multiply the decimal by the cost of the shirt you get how much the discount is.

0.15 * $42 = 6.30

so a 15% discount on a $42 shirt is $6.30 off. So you subtract the discount from the total cost.

$42 - $6.30 = $35.70 that is the sale price of the shirt.

35
the ratio for the two is 5:7 and you want to find _:49. to get from 7 to 49 you multiply the 7 by 7. because you did that to one side you have to do the same to the other and multiply 5 by 7 which gives you 35

The general term for the sequence 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, . . . is

Nuetrik [128]

We are given

sequence is 2 , 4 , 8 ,16 , 32 , .....

Firstly , we will check whether it is geometric sequence

Checking geometric sequence:

We will find common ratio between successive terms

and then we check whether they are equal

r1=(second term)/(first term)

$r_1=\frac{4}{2}=2$

r2=(third term)/(second term)

$r_2=\frac{8}{4}=2$

r3=(fourth term)/(third term)

$r_3=\frac{16}{8}=2$

r4=(fifth term)/(fourth term)

$r_4=\frac{32}{16}=2$

we can see that all four ratios are same

$r_1=r_2=r_3=r_4=2$

so, this is geometric sequence

Calculation of general term:

We got

common ratio is

$r=2$

Let's assume

number of terms is n

first term is 2

$a_1=2$

now, we can use formula

$a_n=a_1 (r)^{n-1}$

we can plug values

and we get

$a_n=2(2)^{n-1}$

$a_n=2^1(2)^{n-1}$

$a_n=(2)^{n-1+1}$

$a_n=(2)^{n}$ ..................Answer
