The shadows of two vertical poles were measured at the same time to be 6m and 15m long. If the first pole is 8cm long, find the

Answer:

20 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Shadow of vertical poles : 6m ; 15m

Length of poles : 8cm ; h

8cm long pole = shadow length, 6m

h cm long pole = shadow length, 15 m

Using cross multiplication :

8cm * 15 m = h cm * 6m

120 = 6h

h = 120 / 6

h = 20 cm

Height of second pole = 20cm

Nine cards are numbered from 1 to 9 and placed in a box. One card is selected at random and not replaced. Another card is random

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 4 primes. So the probability for the first draw is 4/9. Since the card is not replaced, the second probability is 3/8. 3/8 * 4/9 is 12/72, which simplifies into 1/6.

Suppose that we have the following sequence :

Jlenok [28]

$a_n=\dfrac12a_{n-1}$
$a_n=\dfrac1{2^2}a_{n-2}$
$a_n=\dfrac1{2^3}a_{n-3}$
$a_n=\cdots=\dfrac1{2^{n-1}}a_1$
$a_n=\dfrac1{2^{n-1}}$

$b_n=b_{n-1}+\dfrac1{2^{n-1}}$
$b_n=b_{n-2}+\dfrac1{2^{n-1}}+\dfrac1{2^{n-2}}$
$b_n=b_{n-3}+\dfrac1{2^{n-1}}+\dfrac1{2^{n-2}}+\dfrac1{2^{n-3}}$
$b_n=\cdots=b_1+\dfrac1{2^{n-1}}+\dfrac1{2^{n-2}}+\cdots+\dfrac12$
$b_n=a_1+\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{n-1}\frac1{2^{n-k}}$
$b_n=1+\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{n-1}\frac1{2^{n-k}}$
$b_n=\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^n\frac1{2^{n-k}}$
$b_n=\displaystyle\frac1{2^n}\underbrace{\sum_{k=1}^n2^k}_{S_n}$

$S_n=1+2+2^2+\cdots+2^{n-1}+2^n$
$\implies2S_n=2+2^2+2^3+\cdots+2^n+2^{n+1}$
$\implies S_n-2S_n=-S_n=1-2^{n+1}$
$\implies S_n=2^{n+1}-1$

$b_n=\dfrac{2^{n+1}-1}{2^n}=2-\dfrac1{2^n}$

$\implies b_{50}=2-\dfrac1{2^{50}}\approx1.99999999999999911182158$

$\implies b_{10^6}=2-\dfrac1{2^{10^6}}\approx2.00000000000000000000000$
