Answer: The value of 15th term is 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth-terms of an AP is written as $a+(n-1)d$

where,

a = first term

n = number of term

d = common difference

5th tem will be = $a+4d$

11th tem will be = $a+10d$

15th tem will be = $a+14d$

The given ratio between 5th and 11th term is 5 : 2

Taking the ratios:

$\Rightarrow \frac{a+4d}{a+10d}=\frac{5}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow 2a+8d=5a+50d\\\\\Rightarrow 3a+42d=0\\\\\Rightarrow 3(a+14d)=0\\\\\Rightarrow a+14d=0$

Hence, the value of 15th term is 0

The pollutant PCB (polychlorinated biphenyl) can affect the thickness of pelican eggshells. Thinking of the thickness, T, of the

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

The expression f(200) depicts the value of the concentration of the pollutant, which when substituted in the expression T = f(P) will give the value of the thickness of the pelican eggs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are given that T = f(P)

Where T = thickness of the eggs

P = concentration in ppm ((parts per million))

Considering f(200) comparing to f(P)

The expression f(200) depicts the value of the concentration of the pollutant, which when substiuted in the expression T = f(P) will give the value of the thickness of the pelican eggs.

i.e substituted the value of the concentration in ppm to get the thickness of the pelican eggs in mm. since the expression shows thickness of pelican eggs as a function of the concentration. for every 200ppm of concentration, the numerical value of the thickness of pelican eggs can be gotten.

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

Q (2.5, -4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A (1, -5), C = (10, 1), find Q (x, y), so that AQ:QC = 1:5

AQ = (x - 1, y + 5)

QC = (10 - x, 1 - y)

AQ:QC = 1:5

so 5*AQ = QC
