Answer:

44.125 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Length of picture = 32 1/2 inches

Length of wall = 120 3/4 inches

Hence, to center picture horizontally ;

Distance from the edge of the wall in which the picture should be placed :

(Length of wall - length of picture) / 2

(120 3/4 - 32 1/2) / 2

(483/4 - 65/2) / 2

Take the L. C. M of 4 and 2 = 4

((483 - 130) / 4) ÷ 2

(353 / 4) ÷ 2

(353 / 4) * (1 / 2)

= 353 / 8

= 44 1/8

= 44 1/8

= 44.125 inches

The sum of two terms of gp is 6 and that of first four terms is 15/2.Find the sum of first six terms.

Gnoma [55]

Given:

The sum of two terms of GP is 6 and that of first four terms is $\dfrac{15}{2}.$

To find:

The sum of first six terms.

Solution:

We have,

$S_2=6$

$S_4=\dfrac{15}{2}$

Sum of first n terms of a GP is

$S_n=\dfrac{a(1-r^n)}{1-r}$ ...(i)

Putting n=2, we get

$S_2=\dfrac{a(1-r^2)}{1-r}$

$6=\dfrac{a(1-r)(1+r)}{1-r}$

$6=a(1+r)$ ...(ii)

Putting n=4, we get

$S_4=\dfrac{a(1-r^4)}{1-r}$

$\dfrac{15}{2}=\dfrac{a(1-r^2)(1+r^2)}{1-r}$

$\dfrac{15}{2}=\dfrac{a(1+r)(1-r)(1+r^2)}{1-r}$

$\dfrac{15}{2}=6(1+r^2)$ (Using (ii))

Divide both sides by 6.

$\dfrac{15}{12}=(1+r^2)$

$\dfrac{5}{4}-1=r^2$

$\dfrac{5-4}{4}=r^2$

$\dfrac{1}{4}=r^2$

Taking square root on both sides, we get

$\pm \sqrt{\dfrac{1}{4}}=r$

$\pm \dfrac{1}{2}=r$

$\pm 0.5=r$

Case 1: If r is positive, then using (ii) we get

$6=a(1+0.5)$

$6=a(1.5)$

$\dfrac{6}{1.5}=a$

$4=a$

The sum of first 6 terms is

$S_6=\dfrac{4(1-(0.5)^6)}{(1-0.5)}$

$S_6=\dfrac{4(1-0.015625)}{0.5}$

$S_6=8(0.984375)$

$S_6=7.875$

Case 2: If r is negative, then using (ii) we get

$6=a(1-0.5)$

$6=a(0.5)$

$\dfrac{6}{0.5}=a$

$12=a$

The sum of first 6 terms is

$S_6=\dfrac{12(1-(-0.5)^6)}{(1+0.5)}$

$S_6=\dfrac{12(1-0.015625)}{1.5}$

$S_6=8(0.984375)$

$S_6=7.875$

Therefore, the sum of the first six terms is 7.875.

Write the standard form of the equation of the circle with the given characteristics.

SOVA2 [1]

<h2><u>Circle Equations</u></h2>

<h3>Write the standard form of the equation of the circle with the given characteristics.</h3><h3>Center: (0, 0); Radius: 2</h3>

To determine the equation of a circle, use the standard form of a circle (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r² where,

<u>(h, k)</u> is the center; and
<u>r</u> is the radius

Substitute the values of the center and radius to the standard form.

<u>Given:</u>

<u>(0, 0)</u> - <u>center</u>

<u>2</u> - <u>radius</u>

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = 2²
(x - 0)² + (y - 0)² = 4
x² + y² = 4

<u>Answer:</u>

The equation of the circle is <u>x² + y² = 4</u>.

I am not sure if i did this right she wants us to distribute and get only one x on one side and find the answer.

umka21 [38]

I got x=18

3(x-4)-2(3x+4)=4(3-x)+5x+4

3x-12-6x-8=12-4x+5x+4

3x-20=16+x

2x=36x

x=18
