Answer:

$\frac{45}{4096}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) q=90/180=45/90=...=1/2;

2) the formula of the n-th term of the given sequence is:

$a_n=a_1*q^{n-1};$

3) according to the formula 15th term is:

$a_{15}=a_1*q^{15-1}=180*\frac{1}{2} ^{14}=\frac{180}{16384} =\frac{45}{4096}$

or ≈0.011.

Find the exact area of the surface obtained by rotating the curve about the x-axis.

$\bf \begin{cases}
y=sin\left( \frac{\pi x}{6} \right)\\
0\le x\le 6\\
\textit{about the x-axis, or }y=0
\end{cases}\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
\textit{using the disc method}
\\\\
V=\int\limits_{0}^{6}\pi \left[ sin\left( \frac{\pi x}{6} \right) \right]^2\cdot dx\implies \pi\int\limits_{0}^{6} \left[ sin\left( \frac{\pi x}{6} \right) \right]^2\cdot dx
\\\\\\
 \pi\int\limits_{0}^{6} sin^2\left( \frac{\pi x}{6} \right) \cdot dx\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\$

$\bf \textit{now, let us check the double angle identities}
\\\\
cos(2\theta)=
\begin{cases}
cos^2(\theta)-sin^2(\theta)\\
\boxed{1-2sin^2(\theta)}\\
2cos^2(\theta)-1
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
thus\implies cos(2\theta)=1-2sin^2(\theta)\implies 2sin^2(\theta)=1-cos(2\theta)
\\\\\\
sin^2(\theta)=\cfrac{1-cos(2\theta)}{2}\qquad thus\\\\
-----------------------------$

$\bf \pi\int\limits_{0}^{6} \left[ sin\left( \frac{\pi x}{6} \right) \right]^2\cdot dx\implies 
\pi\int\limits_{0}^{6} \cfrac{1-cos\left(2\cdot \frac{\pi x}{6} \right)}{2}\cdot dx
\\\\\\
\pi\int\limits_{0}^{6}\cfrac{1}{2}dx-\pi \cdot \cfrac{1}{2}\pi\int\limits_{0}^{6}cos\left(\frac{\pi x}{3} \right)dx
\\\\\\
\left[\cfrac{\pi x}{2}-\cfrac{\pi }{2}\cdot \cfrac{sin\left(\frac{\pi x}{3} \right)}{\frac{\pi x}{3} } \right]\implies \left[ \cfrac{\pi }{2}x-\cfrac{3sin\left(\frac{\pi x}{3} \right)}{2x} \right]_0^6$

and surely, you'd know how to get the values for the bounds there

How do you use distributive property on an equasion like -2 (-6x+ 3y - 1 )

aksik [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

so to distribute you have to times -2 by -6x, -2 by 3y, and -2 by -1.

I hope you know that negative times a negative equals positive. (-) x (-) = +

The answer will then be 12x - 6y + 2.

Pls, let me know if that helps. ;)

49. 100-36= how many girls in percent
= 64%
64%= 16 girls
64/100=16/x
cross multiply
1600=64x
