Answer:

Country A = 85, Country B = 29, Country C = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

A+B+C=134 ----- eq(1)

B=C+9 ------------ eq(2)

A=36+B+C ------ eq(3)

By substituting eq(2) in eq(3), we get:

A=36+C+9+C

A=2C+45 ------- eq(4)

Now substituting eq(2) & eq(4) in eq(1), we get

2C+45+C+9+C=134

4C+54=134

4C=134-54

4C=80

C=20

Now putting the value of C in eq(2),

B=20+9

B=29

Substituting the value of B & C in eq(1), we get:

A+29+20=134

A+49=134

A=134-49

A=85

Solve the equation: Sin2x - Sinx = 0
Viktor [21]
We know that sin2x=2sinxcosx 
(search the net for proof if you wish) 

So the original equation becomes

2sinxcosx-sinx=0
The two terms both have sinx that can be taken out to get: 

sinx(2cosx-1)=0 
This is true if sinx=0 or 2cosx-1=0 , rewritten: cosx=1/2

sinx=0 than x=2kπ
cosx=1/2 than x=π/3+2kπ
where k is an integer

Can someone please turn this into a equation and then solve it plz it’s due tommorow
jeka57 [31]
If the perimeter is 28 units, then you know you will have to add the same four numbers to get the perimeter. What times 4 can get you to 28? 7. 7 x 4=28. So what plus 3 gets us to 7? 4. The answer is 4, or x=4.

Identify whether the series sigma notation infinity i=1 15(4)^i-1 is a convergent or divergent geometric series and find the sum
const2013 [10]

Answer:  The correct option is

(d) This is a divergent geometric series. The sum cannot be found.

Step-by-step explanation: The given infinite geometric series is

S=\sum_{i=1}^{\infty}15(4)^{i-1}.

We are to identify whether the given geometric series is convergent or divergent. If convergent, we are to find the sum of the series.

We have the D' Alembert's ratio test, states as follows:

Let, \sum_{i=1}^{\infty}a_i is an infinite series, with complex coefficients a_i and we consider the following limit:

L=\lim_{i\rightarrow \infty}\dfrac{a_{i+1}}{a_i}.

Then, the series will be convergent if  L < 1 and divergent if  L > 1.

For the given series, we have

a_i=15(4)^{i-1},\\\\a_{i+1}=15(4)^i.

So, the limit is given by

L\\\\\\=\lim_{i\rightarrow \infty}\dfrac{a_{i+1}}{a_i}\\\\\\=\lim_{i\rightarrow \infty}\dfrac{15(4)^i}{15(4)^{i-1}}\\\\\\=\lim_{i\rightarrow \infty}\dfrac{15(4)^i}{15(4)^{i}4^{-1}}\\\\\\=\dfrac{1}{4^{-1}}\\\\=4>1.

Therefore, L >1, and so the given series is divergent and hence we cannot find the sum.

Thuds, (d) is the correct option.
