In mathematics, number sequencing of the same pattern are called progression. There are three types of progression: arithmetic, harmonic and geometric. The pattern in arithmetic is called common difference, while the pattern in geometric is called common ratio. Harmonic progression is just the reciprocal of the arithmetic sequence.

The common ratio is denoted as r. For values of r<1, the sum of the infinite series is equal to

S∞ = A₁/(1-r), where A1 is the first term of the sequence. Substituting A₁=65 and r=1/6:

S∞ = A₁/(1-r) = 65/(1-1/6)
S∞ = 78

The reacttimes data set has 50 observations of human reaction times to a physical stimulus. The reaction times are named times a

scoundrel [369]

Solution: The formula for mean is:

$Mean=\frac{\sum x}{n}$

Where:

$\sum x$ is the sum of given observations

$n$ is the number of observations

$\sum x=87.12$

$n=50$

$\therefore Mean =\frac{87.12}{50}= 1.74$ rounded to two decimal places

To find the median, we need to first arrange the data in ascending order but we are already given the data in ascending order.

Therefore, the median is:

$Median=\left(\frac{n+1}{2} \right)^{th} item$

$=\left(\frac{51}{2} \right)^{th} item$

$=25.5^{th} item$

$=1.52+0.5(1.54-1.52)$

$=1.52+0.01$

$=1.53$

Therefore, the median = 1.53

A central angle theta in a circle of radius 7 m is subtended by an arc of length 8 m. Find the measure of theta in degrees. (Rou

gogolik [260]

Answer: In degrees , The measure of $\theta=65.5^{\circ}$

In radians , the measure of $\theta =\dfrac{8}{7}\text{ radians}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the formula for length of arc is given by :-

$l=\theta r$

, where $\theta$ = Central angle subtended by arc.

r= radius of the circle.

As per given , we have

Radius of circle : r=7 m

Length of arc : l= 8 m

Substitute these values in the above formula , we get

$8=\theta (7)\\\\\Rightarrow\ \theta =\dfrac{8}{7}\text{ radians}$

Hence, the measure of $\theta =\dfrac{8}{7}\text{ radians}$ .

To convert it into degrees we multiply it with $\dfrac{180^{\circ}}{\pi}$

The measure of $\theta =\dfrac{8}{7}\times\dfrac{180^{\circ}}{\pi}$

$=(\dfrac{8\times180}{7\times3.14})^{\circ}=65.5141037307^{\circ}$

$\approx65.5^{\circ}$

Hence, the measure of $\theta=65.5^{\circ}$

3x + 4(2) = 20
3x + 8 = 20
3x = 12
x = 4
(4,2)
You have y=2 then all you need to do is plug 2 into the y in the equation 3x + 4y = 20 and do the math to find x. Hope this helps
