Answer:

aₙ = 0.4*5ⁿ⁻¹

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given sequence:</u>

0.4, 2, 10, 50, ...

<u>The first term is:</u>

a₁ = 0.4

<u>The common ratio is:</u>

r = 50/10 = 10/2 = 2/0.4 = 5

<u>The formula for the nth term is:</u>

aₙ = a₁rⁿ⁻¹
aₙ = 0.4*5ⁿ⁻¹

900 is 4 1/2% of what?

Svet_ta [14]

Simple, first change the 4.5% into 0.045

Thus,

900=0.045*n

900/0.045=0.045n/0.045

20,000=n

Thus, your answer is 20,000.

In circle O, AP = √10, PB = x and BC = 3. Find the value of x.

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

The value of x is $2\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Applying the tangent-secant theorem

$AP^{2}=PB*PC$

substitute the values and solve for x

$\sqrt{10}^{2}=x*(x+3)$

$10=x^{2}+3x$

$x^{2}+3x-10=0$

using a graphing tool

to solve the quadratic equation

The solution is $x=2\ units$
