Answer:

512

Step-by-step explanation:

In a geometric sequence, the ratio between the second term and the first term is equal to the ratio between the third term and the second term.

(m² + 4) / m = 16m / (m² + 4)

Solve:

(m² + 4)² = 16m²

m² + 4 = 4m

m² − 4m + 4 = 0

(m − 2)² = 0

m = 2

The first three terms of the geometric sequence are therefore 2, 8, 32.

The common ratio is 4, and the first term is 2. So the 5th term is:

a = 2 (4)⁵⁻¹

a = 512

The graph below shows the prices of different numbers of boots at a store: A graph is shown. The values on the x axis are 0, 2,

Answer:

b=12.50p

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

x y

0 0

2 25

4 50

6 75

8 100

10 125

To Find: Which equation can be used to determine p, the cost of b boots?

Solution :

Using point slope form Find the equation of line of the given coordinates

Let $(x_{1} , y_{1})=(0,0)$

Let $(x_{2} , y_{2})=(2,25)$

So, formula : $y-y_{1} =\frac{y_{2}- y_{1}}{x_{2}- x_{1}} *(x-x_{1})$

$y-0 =\frac{25-0}{2-0} *(x-0)$

$y= 12.50x$

Now we are given that cost of b boots is p

Since we are given that x axis is Number of Boots and y in price

So in the equation put x = b and y = p

So, equation : b=12.50p

Hence Option 4 is correct

Angles α and β are the two acute angles in a right triangle. Use the relationship between sine and cosine to find the value of β

ElenaW [278]

Answer:

A) 14°

Step-by-step explanation:

If α and β are the two angles other than 90° in a right triangle, then we have the relation between α and β as, α+β=90°.

Therefore, Sin α = Sin (90° -β) =Cos β.

So, we can write the reverse as if Sin α = Cosβ, then we have α + β =90°.

It is given that, Sin (3x-27) = Cos (5x+5).

Hence, we can write (3x-27) + (5x + 5) = 90

⇒ 8x = 90+27-5 =112

⇒ x = 14°

Therefore, option A. is correct. (Answer)
