Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let\ say\ r \ the \common\ ratio:\\a)a_4=r^2*a_2=9*a_2\Longrightarrow\ r=3\ (not\ -3\ since\ parts\ are\ positive)\\\\b)\\\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^{n} a_i =a_1+a_2+a_3+...+a_n\\\\=a_1+a_1*r+a_1*r^2+a_1*r^3+...+a_1*r^{n-1}\\\\=a_1*(1+r+r^2+...+r^{n-1})\\\\=a_1*\dfrac{r^n-1}{r-1} \\\\147620=5*\frac{(3^n-1)}{3-1} \\\\3^n-1=\frac{2*147620}{5} \\\\3^n=59049 \\\\n*ln(3)=ln(59049)\\\\n=\dfrac{ln(59049)}{ln(3)} \\\\n=10\\\\a_n=5*3^{10-1}=5*19683=98415(cm)

I. Daska is situated at a distance of 15 miles from both Gujranwala and Sialkot. A bus travels from Gujranwala to Daska at an av
son4ous [18]

Answer:

The average speed of the entire trip is 8.5 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed = Total  Distance / Total Time

So we have to find the total distance and the total time taken .

1) From Gujranwala to Daska

speed= 25miles/hour           distance = 15miles

Time taken = distance / speed

                   = 15/25= 0.6 hours

2)  From Daska to Sialkot

speed= 40miles/hour           distance = 15miles

Time taken = distance / speed

                   = 40/15= 2.67 hours

3 ) From  Sialkot to Daska

speed= 30miles/hour           distance = 15miles

Time taken = distance / speed

                   = 30/15= 2 hours

The total distance traveled to three places is = 15+ 15+15= 45miles

The Total time taken is = 0.6+ 2.67+ 2= 5.267=5.3 hours

Speed = Total  Distance / Total Time

Speed= 45/ 5.3

          = 8.49=8.5 miles per hour

The average speed of the entire trip is 8.5 miles per hour.
