The ratio of boys to girls in class is 4 : 5 What fraction of the class are boys

1 answer:

6 0

Answer:

The ratio of boys to girls is 4:5. So let 4x be the number of boys and 5x be the number of girls. Then 4x+5x = 9x is the total number of students. Then the fraction of boys in the class is 4x/9x = 4/9.

For an angle (theta) with the point (5, -12) on its terminating side, what is the value of cosine?

padilas [110]

we are given

(x,y)=(5,-12)

so, x=5 and y=-12

now, we can find r

$r=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}$

$r=\sqrt{5^2+(-12)^2}$

$r=13$

now, we can find cos

$cos(\theta)=\frac{x}{r}$

so, we get

$cos(\theta)=\frac{5}{13}$ ...........Answer

Consider the following sequence

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

a₇ = 2.375

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = $\frac{-76}{152}$ = $\frac{38}{-76}$ = $\frac{-19}{38}$ = - $\frac{1}{2}$

This indicates the sequence is geometric with nth term

$a_{n}$ = a₁ $(r)^{n-1}$

where a₁ is the first term and r the common ratio

Here a₁ = 152 and r = - $\frac{1}{2}$ , then

$a_{n}$ = 152 $(-\frac{1}{2}) ^{n-1}$ , so

a₇ = 152 $(-\frac{1}{2}) ^{6}$ = 152 × $\frac{1}{64}$ = 2.375
