Geometric sequence is
an=a1(r)^(n-1)
an=nth erm
a1=first term
r=common ratio

5th term=14
a5=a1(12)^(5-1)=15

a1(12)^4=15
a1(20736)=15
divide both sides by 20736
a1=15/20736=5/6912
geometric sequence is
an=(5/6912)(12)^(n-1)

Joe's Painting charges $100 plus $20 per hour to paint the exterior of your home. Steve's Painting charges $120 plus $15 per hou
Tanzania [10]

Joe's Painting: 20x + 100 = y

Steve's Painting: 15x + 120 = y

x = hours worked

y = total income

We can find when the two equations intersect by making them equal to each other. That means we put an equal sign in the middle. So, it would look something like this:

20x + 100 = 15x + 120

First, we have to move the 100 by subtracting it from both sides.

20x = 15x + 120 - (100)

20x = 15x + 20

Then, we need to move the 15x by subtracting it from both sides.

20 - (15x) = 20

5x = 20

Lastly, we need to divide 5 from both sides.

5x = 20/5

x = 4

Therefore, Joe and Steve would have to work for 4 hours in order for their models to be equal to each other.

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the leg in the triangle shown below.
Natali [406]
The answer to what the length of the leg would be is 15.

You would do this problem by first writing down your Pythagorean Theorem, which is a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

Since we have our hypotenuse which is c^2 in our equation, we would write or insert the number we have.

So our equation could be that a or b leg equals 20, it doesn’t matter which one.

So we could write, 20^2 + b^2 = 25^2. So we don’t know what b leg is.

First we should figure out what 20^2 is and what 25^2 is.

20^2 is 400 and 25^2 is 625.

Our equation now comes to 400 + b^2 = 625.

Now we take 400 and subtract it from
625 -> 400 + b^2 = 625
-400.

So 625 - 400 comes out to be 225.

Lastly instead of squaring or putting 225 to the second power, we do the opposite.

So instead of squaring 225 we must square root 225. √ 225 .

The square root of √ 225 comes out to be 15.
