Mathematics

zimovet [89]3 years ago

Answer:

r = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

a = 3 --- First, term

T_4 = 648 --- Fourth term

Required: Determine the common ratio

The nth term of a GP is

T_n = ar^{n-1

Substitute 4 for n

T_4 = ar^{4-1

T_4 = ar^{3

Substitute 648 and 3 for T4 and 3 respectively.

648 = 3 * r^{3

r^3 = 216

Take cube roots of both sides

r =\sqrt[3]{216}

r = 6

<em>The common ratio is 6</em>

nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

3/2 x

Step-by-step explanation:

length of a side of an  equilateral triangle is x

The perimeter is

P = 3s  where s is the side length

P = 3x

1/2 of the perimeter

1/2 (3x)

3/2 x

Morgan made a mistake when subtracting the rational expressions below.
Nat2105 [25]

Answer : D

\frac{3t^2-4t+1}{t+3} - \frac{t^2+2t+2}{t+3}

The denominators are  same

So we combine the numerators

\frac{(3t^2-4t+1)-(t^2+2t+2)}{t+3}

To remove parenthesis we distribute negative sign inside the second parenthesis

\frac{3t^2-4t+1-t^2-2t-2)}{t+3}

\frac{3t^2-4t+1-t^2-2t-2)}{t+3}

\frac{2t^2-6t-1)}{t+3}

Morgan made a mistake. He forgot to distribute the negative sign

Morgan forgot to distribute the negative sign to two of the terms 2t  and 2 inside second parenthesis

Players a, b, and c toss a fair coin in order. the first to throw a head wins. what are their respective chances of winning
Tatiana [17]
Probability a gets a head  = 1/2
 ..    ..   ..    b ..   ..  ...  ..     =  P(a gets tail) * 1/2  = 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4
 ..   ... . ..    c  ..  ..  ..  ..  .   = P(and and b gets tail) * 1/2 = 1/4 * 1/2 = 1/8

Can someone explain (with steps) how to rationalize the following expression?
insens350 [35]
F(x)=(-2/((x+y-2)^(1/2))-(x+y+2)^(1/2)
the only irrational part of this expression is the (x+y-2)^(1/2) in the denominator, so, to rationalize this, you multiply the numerator and denominator by the denominator, as well as the other parts of the expression
also, you must multiply the -sqrt(x+y+2) by sqrt(x+y-2)/sqrt(x+y-2) to form a common denominator
(-2)/(x+y-2)^(1/2)-(x+y+2)^(1/2)(x+y-2)^(1/2)/(x+y-2)^(1/2)
(common denominator)
(-2-(x^2+xy+2x+xy+y^2+2y-2x-2y-4))/(x+y-2)^(1/2)
(FOIL)
(-2-x^2-y^2-2xy+4)/(x+y-2)^(1/2)
(Distribute negative)
(-x^2-y^2-2xy+2)/(x+y-2)^(1/2)
(Simplify numerator)
(-x^2-y^2-2xy+2)(x+y-2)^(1/2)/(x+y-2)^(1/2)(x+y-2)^(1/2)
(Rationalize denominator by multiplying both top and bottom by sqrt)
(-x^2-y^2-2xy+2)((x+y-2)^(1/2))/(x+y-2)
(The function is now rational)
=(-x^2-y^2-2xy+2)(sqrt(x+y-2))/(x+y-2)
