40, 10, 5/2 5/8... (fractions) is it arithmetic or geometric and what are the next two terms PLZ HELP DUE IN 10 MINS

patriot [66]

Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the sequence

$40,\:10,\:\frac{5}{2},\:\frac{5}{8}$

A geometric sequence has a constant ratio 'r' and is defined by

$\:a_n=a_0\cdot r^{n-1}$

Computing the ratios of all the adjacent terms

$\frac{10}{40}=\frac{1}{4},\:\quad \frac{\frac{5}{2}}{10}=\frac{1}{4},\:\quad \frac{\frac{5}{8}}{\frac{5}{2}}=\frac{1}{4}$

The ratio of all the adjacent terms is the same and equal to

$r=\frac{1}{4}$

Thus, the given sequence is a geometric sequence.

As the first element of the sequence is

$a_1=40$

Therefore, the nth term is calculated as

$\:a_n=a_0\cdot r^{n-1}$

$a_n=40\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{n-1}$

Put n = 5 to find the next term

$a_5=40\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{5-1}$

$a_5=40\cdot \frac{1}{4^4}$

$a_5=\frac{40}{4^4}$

$=\frac{2^3\cdot \:5}{2^8}$

$a_5=\frac{5}{2^5}$

$a_5=\frac{5}{32}$

now, Put n = 6 to find the 6th term

$a_6=40\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{6-1}$

$a_6=40\cdot \frac{1}{4^5}$

$a_6=\frac{40}{4^5}$

$=\frac{2^3\cdot \:5}{2^{10}}$

$a_6=\frac{5}{2^7}$

$a_6=\frac{5}{128}$

Thus, the next two terms of the sequence 40, 10, 5/2, 5/8... is:

$a_5=\frac{5}{32}$

$a_6=\frac{5}{128}$

Stacey had 3 cakes for her party, She had 1/8 of a cake left after the party. How much cake was eaten at her party?

hoa [83]

Answer: 3=24/8 24/8 - 1/8 = 23/8 or 2 7/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Exchange 3 into 24/8 which is still 3 but in 8th’s. Then subtract 1/8 from 24/8 which is 23/8 or 2 7/8

Find the exact value of tan(x-y) if sin x=8/17 cosy = 3/5

jolli1 [7]

To solve the the question we proceed as follows:

From trigonometric laws

$(cos x)^2+(sin x)^2=1$

$(cos x)^2+(sin x)^2=1$

$sin (x-y)=sin$ $x$ $sin$ $y-sin$ $y$ $cos$ $x$

$cos (x-y)=cos$ $x$ $cos$ $y+sin$ $x$ $xin$ $y$

si $x=\frac{8}{17}$

$cos$ $x=sqrt(1-(sin x)^2)=sqrt(1-64/289)=sqrt(\frac{225}{289} )=\frac{15}{17}$

$cos$ $y=\frac{3}{5}$

$sin$ $x= sqrt(1- (cos x)^2)= sqrt(1-\frac{9}{25} )=sqrt(\frac{16}{25} )=\frac{4}{5}$

thus

$tan (x-y)=[sin (x-y)]/[cos (x-y)]$

=[sin x cos y-sin y cos x]/[cos x cos y+sin x sin y]

plugging in the values we obtain:

$[8/17 *3/5-4/5*15/7]/[15/17*3/5+8/17*4/5]$

simplifying

$[24/85-60/85]/[45/85+32/85]$

$=-\frac{36}{77}$
