Write an equation for the nth term of the given geometric sequence. 12, 156, 2028, ..., a

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a(n) = 12 * (13)^(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

First step is to determine what's the scale/multiplication factor between each term:

156 / 12 = 13

2028 / 156 = 13

So, since we got 13 between 1st, 2nd and 3rd term, we can be confident it's the right multiplication factor.

an would be the first term (12) multiplied by a factor of 13. So,

[tex]an = 12 * (13)^{n-1}[/tex]

If we try for n > 1, we have

a(2) = 12 * (13)^(2-1) = 12 * 13 = 156

a(3) = 12 * (13)^(3-1) = 12 * 13² = 12 * 169 = 2028

It matches!

Compare the fractions. Use <, =, or >. -2/3 -2/8

Answers

Answer:

[tex]-\frac{2}{8} >-\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

To compare fractions is useful to express the fractions as decimals and compare the values of the decimals first.

Using a calculator we can find that [tex]-\frac{2}{3} =-0.66666...[/tex] and [tex]-\frac{2}{8} =-0.25[/tex].

Now, remember that wen comparing negative numbers the smallest number is the greater one; this is because the closest a negative number is to zero the greatest is value.

-0.66666... and -0.25 are both negative. Since -0.25 is smaller (closer to zero), -0.25 is bigger than -0.66666... In other words, -0.25 > -0.66666...

We know that [tex]-\frac{2}{3} =-0.66666...[/tex] and [tex]-\frac{2}{8} =-0.25[/tex], so we can get back to our original fractions:

[tex]-\frac{2}{8} >-\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

We can conclude that [tex]-\frac{2}{8}[/tex] is greater than [tex]-\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

The large rectangle below represents one whole. What percent is represented by the shaded area?

Answers

Answer: 44%

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given picture , it can be seen that the rectangle is divided into 25 equal sections.

The number of shaded sections= 11

Now, the percent is represented by the shaded area is given by :_

[tex]\dfrac{\text{Number of shaded sections}}{\text{Total sections}}\times100\\\=\dfrac{11}{25}\times100=44\%[/tex]

Hence, the  percent is represented by the shaded area =44%

Answer:

44%

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of shaded pieces to total pieces is 11 : 25.

Percent means per hundred.

So, we need an equivalent ratio that will tell us how many pieces would be shaded out of 100 total pieces.

44:100= 44 per hundred = 44%

44% is represented by the shaded area.

You have 1 case of soap bars and there is 150 bars in a case you use 300 bars of soap per day how many cases do you need to order to have enough for 7 days?

Answers

Answer: There are 150 bars in a case, and 2 cases per day are used (or 300 bars), Thus, in 7 days you would use 7 x 2 or 14 cases, or 2100 bars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

14 cases of soap bars.

Step-by-step explanation:

In one case of soap bars there is = 150 bars

You use amount of soap bars per day = 300

You need to order to have enough for 7 days  = 300 × 7 = 2100 bars

150 bars ⇒ 1 case

2100 bars ⇒ [tex]\frac{2100}{150}[/tex] = 14 case

Find the area of this shape.



The area of the shape is
square centimeters.

Answers

Answer:

35 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of the bottom portion, you would use the formula for finding out a triangle (B*H*1/2) which is:

(4+4)*5.75*1/2=23

Then, for the top portion, one would find the area of the triangles on the sides (with two marks going through). Since along the middle is 8cm, and along the top is 4, we can see that there is 2cm on either side, so that is the length of the base of the triangle. To solve for the top triangles, you would do almost the same thing as the last one:

2*2*1/2=2

But since there's two identical triangles on either side, we can multiply that by two, which would bring it to 4.

That just leaves the rectangle that is left between the two triangles. To solve this, it's just B*H and luckily both of those are labeled for you already:

4*2=8  

Now, to find the total area, all you have to do is add up the areas of the different sections:

23+4+8=35 cm

What is the volume of the square pyramid? Round to the nearest tenth

Answers

ANSWER

[tex]Volume = 480.0{cm}^{3} [/tex]

EXPLANATION

The volume of the square pyramid is given by;

[tex]Volume = \frac{1}{3} {l}^{2} \times h[/tex]

Where l=12cm is the length of the square base and h=10cm is the height of the pyramid.

We substitute the values into the formula to get;

[tex]Volume = \frac{1}{3} \times {12}^{2} \times 10 {cm}^{3} [/tex]

This simplifies to,

[tex]Volume = \frac{1}{3} \times {12} \times 12\times 10 {cm}^{3} [/tex]

[tex]Volume = 4 \times 12\times 10 {cm}^{3} [/tex]

[tex]Volume = 480.0{cm}^{3} [/tex]

Third option is correct.

Answer:

The correct option is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a square pyramid is

[tex]V=\frac{1}{3}(\text{Base area})h[/tex]

[tex]V=\frac{1}{3}a^2h[/tex]                  .... (1)

Where, a is th side of base and h is the height of pyramid.

From the given figure it is clear that the height of the pyramid is 10 cm and the  length of base is 12 cm.

Substitute a=12 and h=10 in equation (1), to find the volume of the square pyramid.

[tex]V=\frac{1}{3}\times (12)^2\times (10)[/tex]

[tex]V=\frac{1}{3}\times (144)\times (10)[/tex]

[tex]V=(48)\times (10)[/tex]

[tex]V=480[/tex]

The volume of pyramid is 480 cm³. Therefore the correct option is 3.

Find the perimeter of parallelogram ABCD with vertices A(–2, 6), B(1, 2), C(–2, –2), and D(1, –6).

Answers

Answer:

The perimeter = 26 unites

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise some facts of parallelogram

- Every two opposite sides are parallel and equal

- Every two opposite angles are equal

- Every two adjacent angles are supplementary

- Th two diagonals bisects each other

- The perimeter = 2(S1 + S2)

* Now lets solve the problem

- ABCD is a parallelogram, where

 A = (-2 , 6) , B = (1 , 2) , C = (-2 , -2) , D = (1 , -6)

- To find the perimeter we need the length of AB and BD

- The rule of the distance between two point is

  d = √[(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²]

* Lets find AB

∵ AB = √[1 - -2)² + (2 - 6)²] = √[(3²) + (-4)²]

∴ AB = √25 = 5

* Lets find BD

∵ BD = √[(1 - 1)² + (-6 - 2)² = √[(0)² + (-8)²]

∴ BD = √64 = 8

* Lets find the perimeter

∵ The perimeter = 2 (5 + 8) = 26 unites

Answer:

26 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The attached image shows the coordinates drawn as a parallelogram.

The perimeter is sum of all the sides, AB + BD + DC + CA

Both BD and CA are straight lines with 8 units

AB and DC are not straight lines. So we need to find it using the pythagorean theorem, which is , one leg squared of a triangle + another leg squared will give us hypotenuse squared.

Looking at the triangle AYB, we can write and solve for AB:

[tex]AY^2+YB^2=AB^2\\4^2 + 3^2 = AB^2\\16+9=AB^2\\25=AB^2\\AB=5[/tex]

we can use the same argument and lengths for the triangle CXD. We will have DC = 5 units

Perimeter = AB + BD + DC + CA = 5 + 8 + 5 + 8 = 26 units

To simplify the expression {x⁵}/{x²}, you subtract the exponents (5 - 2), resulting in x³, which is x cubed.

The given expression is {x⁵}/{x²}. To simplify this, we use the Division of Exponentials rule, which states that when dividing two expressions with the same base, you subtract the exponent of the denominator from the exponent of the numerator.

In this case, we subtract 2 from 5 (because the base is x and we have x to the power of 5 divided by x to the power of 2), giving us:

(x⁵⁻² which simplifies to (x³).

The simplified expression is therefore x cubed, or (x³).

Inverse of y equals 12 to the x

Answers

Answer:

[tex]f^{-1}(x) = log_{12}(y)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following function

y = 12^x, and we need to find the inverse function.

To find the inverse function we should solve the equation for "x". To do so, first, we need to:

1. Take the logarithm in both sides of the equation:

lg_12 (y) = log _12 (12^x)

(Please read lg_12 as: "Logarithm with base 12")

From property of logarithm, we know that lg (a^b) = b*log(a)

Then:

lg_12 (y) = x*log _12 (12)

We also know that log _12 (12) = 1

Then:

x = log_12(y).

Then, the inverse of: y= 12^x is:

[tex]f^{-1}(x) = log_{12}(y)[/tex]
