Mathematics

GrogVix [38]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

-6665

Step-by-step explanation:

The given GP is :

1, -6, 36, ...

Number of terms = 6

The sum of n terms of a GP is given by :

S_n=\dfrac{a(r^n-1)}{r-1}

Here,

a = 1, n = 6, r = 36/-6 = -6

So,

S_6=\dfrac{1((-6)^6-1)}{(-6)-1}\\\\=-6665

So, the sum of th GP is -6665.

Find m∠Y if m∠Y is six more than three times its supplement.
Svetlanka [38]
To answer this item, we let x be the measure of angle Y. If we say supplement, it is understood that when we sum up the measures of the two angles (angle Y and its supplement) the answer should be 180. Therefore the other angle is 180-x. Going back to the condition given in this item, we will be able to generate an equation,
                                         x = 3(180 - x)
The value of x from the equation is 135. Thus, m∠Y is 135°.

To measure the distance across a pond, Sandy and Garrett mark a spot at on
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

distance across the pond: 13 yd

distance walked by Garret: 12 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

Data:

  • distance across the pond: x yd
  • distance walked by Sandy: 5 yd
  • distance walked by Garret: x-1 yd

A right triangle is formed where the distance across the pond is the hypotenuse. From Pythagorean theorem:

x² = 5² + (x-1)²

x² = 25 + x² - 2x + 1

0 = 26 - 2x

x = 13
