Determine the value of x if the sequence 2x-1; 3x+1; 7x-1; is a geometric sequence

Mathematics

GuDViN [60]3 years ago

Answer:

x=0 or x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is a geometric sequence, that means term divided by previous term is the same number. Let's call that number, r.

That means we have:

(3x+1)/(2x-1)=r

(7x-1)/(3x+1)=r

Since both of the ratios are the same, then we have

(3x+1)/(2x-1)=(7x-1)/(3x+1)

Cross multiply:

(3x+1)(3x+1)=(2x-1)(7x-1)

Distribute:

9x^2+3x+3x+1=14x^2-2x-7x+1

Combine like terms:

9x^2+6x+1=14x^2-9x+1

Subtract 1 on both sides:

9x^2+6x=14x^2-9x

Subtract 14x^2 on both sides

Add 9x on both sides

-5x^2+15x=0

Factor -5x:

-5x(x-3)=0

-5x=0 when x=0 since -5(0)=0

x-3=0 when x=3 since 3-3=0

A physics student walks 100 meters in 80 seconds. The student stops for 30 seconds, and then walks 200 meters farther in 90 seco
klio [65]

The average speed of the student for his entire walk is equal to 1.5 m/s. Therefore, option (b) is correct.

What is the average speed?

The average speed of a body is calculated as the total distance traveled in a fixed interval of time. The average speed can be determined by dividing the total distance traveled by a body by the total time.

The average velocity is a single value if the object moves uniformly. Speed is a scalar quantity, it has no specified direction. The average speed has the S.I. unit the same as velocity i.e. m/s.

Given the distance covered by a student in first 80 sec = 100m

After stooping for 30sec again cover a distance of 200m in 90sec.

The total distance traveled by the student = 100 + 200 = 300m

The time taken by student to cover distance =  80 + 30 +90 = 200 sec

The average speed of the student = total distance/ total time taken

                                                          = 300/200 = 1.5 m/s

Therefore, the average speed of the student is equal to 1.5m/s.

A scalar and matrix multiplication problem
pentagon [3]

Answer:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-32\\4\\20\\-36\end{array}\right]

Step-by-step explanation:

The product of a scalar times the matrix involves the product of that scalar times each of the elements of the matrix, resulting on the multiplication by "-4" of each of the four elements as shown below. These new product values end up being the new matrix elements.

-4*\left[\begin{array}{ccc}8\\-1\\-5\\9\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-32\\4\\20\\-36\end{array}\right]
