Answers:
x = -8/5 or x = 8/5
Sum of the first ten terms where all terms are positive = 4092
========================================================
Explanation:
r = common ratio
- first term = 4
- second term = (first term)*(common ratio) = 4r
- third term = (second term)*(common ratio) = (4r)*r = 4r^2
The first three terms are: 4, 4r, 4r^2
We're given that the sequence is: 4, 5x, 16
Therefore, we have these two equations
Solve the second equation for r and you should find that r = -2 or r = 2 are the only possible solutions. If r = -2, then 5x = 4r solves to x = -8/5. If r = 2, then 5x = 4r solves to x = 8/5.
-----------------
To find the sum of the first n terms, we use this geometric series formula
Sn = a*(1 - r^n)/(1 - r)
We have
- a = 4 = first term
- r = 2, since we want all the terms to be positive
- n = 10 = number of terms to sum up
So,
Sn = a*(1 - r^n)/(1 - r)
S10 = 4*(1 - 2^10)/(1 - 2)
S10 = 4*(1 - 1024)/(-1)
S10 = 4*(-1023)/(-1)
S10 = 4092
In order to overlook someone's faults, it takes love and an understanding that you are not perfect.
When you love someone, you tend not to see that person's flaws, or even if you do see them, you believe those flaws are negligible. Once you understand that you yourself are not perfect (as any other human being), it will be easier for you to overlook someone else's faults.
The image of the floor dimensions is missing, so i have attached it.
Answer:
$88.92
Step-by-step explanation:
Looking at the attached floor plan, we have to divide it into two parts to solve easily.
To get the smaller side of the bigger triangle; 3 - 0.6 = 2.4m
Thus,bigger triangle measures; 3.6m x 2.4m
For the smaller triangle, dimensions are; 0.6m x 1.2m
Area of bigger triangle = 3.6 × 2.4 = 8.64 m²
Area of smaller triangle = 0.6 × 1.2 = 0.72 m²
Total area = 8.64 + 0.72 = 9.36 m²
Since the carpet costs $9.50 per sq.m.
Thus;
Total spent for wall to wall carpet is = 9.36 × 9.5 = $88.92
Answer:
x= 0 ,
, 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given, equation is
+
=
. →→→ (1)
Now, by cubing the equation on both sides, we get
(
+
)³ = (
)³
⇒ (15x-1) + (13x+1) + 3×
×
(
+
) = 64 x.
⇒ 28x + 3×
×
(
) = 64x.
(since from (1),
+
=
)
⇒ 12×
×
(
)= 36x.
⇒ 3x =
.
Now, once again cubing on both sides, we get
(3x)³ = (
)³.
⇒ 27x³ = (15x-1)(13x+1)(x).
⇒ 27x³ = 195x³ + 2x² - x
⇒ 168x³ + 2x² - x = 0
⇒ x(168x² + 2x -1) = 0
⇒ by, solving the equation we get ,
x = 0 ; x =
; x = 
therefore, solution is x= 0 ,
