Answer:

BM: y = (2/3) x + 16/3 with segment length of 2.77

Step-by-step explanation:

AC formula: m = (6-0)/(0-4) = -3/2

(y-0)/(x-4) = -3/2 y = (-3/2)x + 6 ... (1)

BM slope: BM⊥ AC m = 2/3

BM formula: (y-4) / (x- -2) = (y-4) / (x+2) = 2/3

y-4 = 2/3 x + 4/3

y = (2/3) x + 16/3 ... (2) -2≤x≤0.31

intercept of AC and BM (M) from (1) and (2): (-3/2)x + 6 = (2/3) x + 16/3

(13/6) x = 2/3 x = (2/3) / (13/6) = 4/13 ≈ 0.31

y = (2/3) (4/13) + (16/3) = (8/39) + (208/39) = 216/39 = 72/13 ≈ 5.54

M (4/13 , 72/13) or (0.31 , 5.54)

segment BM = √(4/13 - -2)² + (72/13 - 4)² = √1300/169 = 2.77

In a geometric sequence, a4 = 54 and a7 = 1,458. what is the 12th term? answer: B) 354,294

slamgirl [31]

Option B:

The 12th term is 354294.

Solution:

Given data:

$a_4=54$ and $a_7=1458$

To find $a_{12}:$

The given sequence is a geometric sequence.

The general term of the geometric sequence is $a_n=a_1\ r^{n-1}$ .

If we have 2 terms of a geometric sequence $a_n$ and $a_k$ (n > K),

then we can write the general term as $a_n=a_k\ r^{n-k}$ .

Here we have $a_4=54$ and $a_7=1458$ .

So, n = 7 and k = 4 ( 7 > 4)

$a_7=a_4\ .\ r^{7-4}$

$1458=54\ . \ r^3$

This can be written as

$$r^3=\frac{1458}{54}$

$$r^3=27$

$$r^3=3^3$

Taking cube root on both sides of the equation, we get

r = 3

$a_{12}=a_7\ .\ r^{12-7}$

$=1458\ .\ r^5$

$=1458\ .\ 3^5$

$a_{12}=354294$

Hence the 12th term of the geometric sequence is 354294.

Beginning with an "If-then" statement ⇣

If 2/5 = 30 then 1/5 = 15

Now we have 1/5, let's make it 1 by multiplying x5.

15 x 5 = 75
