Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of an AP is

a_{n} = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Given a₅ is double a₇ , then

a₁ + 4d = 2(a₁ + 6d) , that is

a₁ + 4d = 2a₁ + 12d ( subtract a₁ from both sides )

4d = a₁ + 12d ( subtract 12d from both sides )

- 8d = a₁

The sum of n terms of an AP is

S_{n} = \frac{n}{2} [ 2a₁ + (n - 1)d ] , substitute values

S_{17} = \frac{17}{2} ( 2(- 8d) + 16d)

     = 8.5(- 16d + 16d)

     = 8.5 × 0

     = 0

Hey there!

\large\boxed{40\%}

To find percent error, we find the difference between the prediction and the actual value. We take that difference, divide it by the prediction, and multiply it by 100.

So let's find the difference.

42 - 30 = 12

Divide the difference, which is 12, by 30.

12 ÷ 30 = 0.4

Multiply this by 100 to get the percent.

0.4 x 100 = 40

The percent error is 40%.

Hope this helps!

To make a shade of paint called jasper green, mix 8 quarts of green paint with 3/4 cups of black paint.
polet [3.4K]
8 quarts = 32 cups
So we have a ratio of 32 : 3/4 cups
And the equal ratio of 4: x
So to solve for x, divide 3/4 by 8.
3/4 divided by 8 = 3/4 •1/8 = 3/32 of a cup of green paint.

Use the rules of transformations to compare the graphs of the functions, f(x) = 1/x and g(x) = 5/x-1. Which of the following opt
Sphinxa [80]

Answer: The Horizontal asymptote of f(x) and g(x) is y=0. The third option is correct.

Explanation:

it is given that the using the rules of transformations to compare the graphs of the functions,

f(x)=\frac{1}{x}

g(x)=\frac{5}{x-1}

The graph of f(x) vertically stretch by factor 5 and shifts 1 unit right to transform g(x).

To find vertical asymptotes equate denominator equal to 0.

x=0

x=1

Therefore the function f(x) has vertical asymptote x=0, and g(x) has vertical asymptote x=1. So their is not common vertical asymptote.

To find horizontal asymptotes put x=\infty.

f(x)\rightarrow 0\text{ as }x\rightarrow \infty

g(x)\rightarrow 0\text{ as }x\rightarrow \infty

Therefore, the function have common horizontal asymptote, i.e., y=0.
