How much must be added to each of the three numbers 1, 11, and 23 so that together they form a geometric progression?

Sliva [168]

Answer:

49

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be unknown number which should be added to numbers 1, 11, 23 to get geometric progression. Then numbers 1 + x, 11 + x, 23 + x are first three terms of geometric progression.

Hence,

$b_1=1+x\\ \\b_2=11+x\\ \\b_3=23+x$

and

$b_2=b_1\cdot q\Rightarrow 11+x=(1+x)q\\ \\b_3=b_2\cdot q\Rightarrow 23+x=(11+x)q$

Express q:

$q=\dfrac{11+x}{1+x}=\dfrac{23+x}{11+x}$

Solve this equation. Cross multiply:

$(11+x)^2=(1+x)(23+x)\\ \\121+22x+x^2=23+x+23x+x^2\\ \\121+22x=23+24x\\ \\22x-24x=23-121\\ \\-2x=-98\\ \\2x=98\\ \\x=49$

46 out of 200 dogs are short haired breeds. What percent of dogs are not short haired breeds

Ivahew [28]

Hi!

46 out of 200 are short haired, which means that 200 - 46 = 154 out of 200 are not short haired. In percentages, that is:

154/200 = 77/100 = 77%

Hope this helps!
