Answer:

a = 10

T8 = 1280

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of a GP is expressed as;

Tn = ar^n-1

Forth term T4 = ar^3

first term = a

If the ratio of the fourth to the first term of a geometric sequence is ⅛ then;

ar^3/a = 1/8

r^3 = 1/8

r = ∛1/8

r = 1/2

If the first term exceed the second by 5, then;

a = 5 + T2

a = 5 + ar

a = 5 + a(1/2)

a-1/2a = 5

1/2 a  5

a = 10

Hence the first term is 10

T8 = ar^7

T10 = 10(1/2)^7

T10 = 10(128)

T10 = 1280

Hence the 8th term is 1280

An angle's supplement is nine times of its complementary angle. Find the measure of the angle, the complement of the angle,and t
Nezavi [6.7K]
S = 9C
first sentence written as an expression
Where S represents the angles supplement
and C represents the angles complement
A + S = 180
definition of supplementary allows me to make this statement Where A is the original angle
A + C = 90
definition of complimentary allows this statement
now add the prior 2 statements together
A + S + A + C = 180 + 90
now simplify
2A + S + C = 270
now replace S with 9C using first statement
2A + 9C + C = 270
now simplify
2A + 10C = 270
now divide both sides by 2
A + 5C = 135
now using the second statement isolate A by adding C to both sides
A = 90 - C
now combine the two prior statements
90 - C + 5C = 135
now simplify
90 + 4C = 135
now subtract 90 from both sides
4C = 45
now divide both sides by 4
C = 11.25
so the complimentary angle is 11.25
now take the third equation and substitute in C
A + 11.25 = 90
now subtract 11.25 from both sides
A = 78.75
so the original angle is 78.75
now use the second equation and substitute in A
78.75 + S = 180
now subtract 78.75 from both sides
S = 101.25
so the suplimentary angle is 101.25
