<u>Hint </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

  • Break the given sequence into two parts .
  • Notice the terms at gap of one term beginning from the first term .They are like \dfrac{1}{2},\dfrac{1}{4},\dfrac{1}{8} . Next term is obtained by multiplying half to the previous term .
  • Notice the terms beginning from 2nd term , 4,7,10,13 . Next term is obtained by adding 3 to the previous term .

<u>Solution</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u>

We need to find out the sum of 50 terms of the given sequence . After splitting the given sequence ,

\implies S_1 = \dfrac{1}{2},\dfrac{1}{4},\dfrac{1}{8} .

We can see that this is in <u>Geometric</u><u> </u><u>Progression </u> where 1/2 is the common ratio . Calculating the sum of 25 terms , we have ,

\implies S_1 = a\dfrac{1-r^n}{1-r} \\\\\implies S_1 = \dfrac{1}{2}\left[ \dfrac{1-\bigg(\dfrac{1}{2}\bigg)^{25}}{1-\dfrac{1}{2}}\right]

Notice the term \dfrac{1}{2^{25}} will be too small , so we can neglect it and take its approximation as 0 .

\implies S_1\approx \cancel{ \dfrac{1}{2} } \left[ \dfrac{1-0}{\cancel{\dfrac{1}{2} }}\right]

\\\implies \boxed{ S_1 \approx 1 }

\rule{200}2

Now the second sequence is in Arithmetic Progression , with common difference = 3 .

\implies S_2=\dfrac{n}{2}[2a + (n-1)d]

Substitute ,

\implies S_2=\dfrac{25}{2}[2(4) + (25-1)3] =\boxed{ 908}

Hence sum = 908 + 1 = 909

2.85 as a mixed number
WARRIOR [948]
The number 2.85 can be writen using the fraction 285/100 which is equal to 57/20 when reduced to lowest terms.
It is also equal to 2 17/20 when writen as a mixed number.
You can use the following approximate value(s) for this number:57/20 =~ 2 6/7 (if you admit a error of 0.250627%)2.85 =~ 2 5/6 (if you admit a error of -0.584795%)2.85 =~ 3 (if you admit a error of 5.263158%)

Say that Thailand has a workforce of 35,709,487 people, each of whom earns an average salary of (equivalent USD) $8,630 annually
marysya [2.9K]

The income tax rate must be 29%.

Given that,

Thailand has a workforce of 35,709,487 people, each of whom earns an average salary of (equivalent USD) $8,630 annually.

If the Thai government wants to raise $70 billion in tax revenue,

We have to find,

The approximately where should it set the income tax rate?

According to the question,

Thailand has a workforce of 35,709,487 people, each of whom earns an average salary of (equivalent USD) $8,630 annually.

\rm Total \ income = Number \ of \ people \times Income \ per \ person\\\\Total \ income = 35,709,487 \times 8,630\\\\Total \ income = 308,172,872,810

If the Thai government wants to raise $70 billion in tax revenue,

Then,

The income tax rate is,

\rm Tax\  rate = \dfrac{70,000,000,000,}{308,172,872,810}\\\\Tax \ rate = 0.29\\\\Tax \ rate = 29 \ percent

Hence, The income tax rate must be 29%.

A parallelogram has verticies of (0,0) (0,6) (4,4) (4, -2). Which transformation maps the parallelogram onto itself?
gulaghasi [49]

The transformation that would map the parallelogram onto itself is the rotation of 180 degrees about the point (2, 2)

<h3>What is a transformation?</h3>

Transformation is the movement of a point from its initial location to a new location. Types of transformation are reflection, translation, rotation and dilation.

Rigid transformation is the transformation that does not change the shape or size of a figure. Examples of rigid transformations are <em>translation, reflection and rotation</em>.

The transformation that would map the parallelogram onto itself is the rotation of 180 degrees about the point (2, 2)
