Let [tex]\sf a+b,a-b,ab,\dfrac{a}{b}[/tex] form an arithmetic sequence. What is the sixth term of this sequence?​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

171/40 or 4 11/40

Step-by-step explanation:

AP givena + b, a - b,  ab, a/bTo find6th termSolution

Common difference

Difference of first two

d = (a -b) - (a + b) = -2b

Difference of second two

d= ab - (a - b)

Difference of last two

d = a/b - ab

Now comparing d:

-2b = ab - (a - b)ab - a = - 3ba(1 - b) = 3ba = 3b/(1 - b)

and

a/b - ab = -2ba(1/b - b) = -2ba = 2b²/(b² - 1)

Eliminating a:

2b²/(b² - 1) = 3b/(1 - b)2b/(b+1) = -32b = -3b - 35b = - 3b = -3/5

Finding a:

a = 3b/(1 - b) = 3*(-3/5) *1/(1 - (-3/5)) = -9/5*5/8 =-9/8

So the first term is:

a + b = -3/5 - 9/8 = -24/40 - 45/40 = - 69/40

Common difference:

d = -2b = -2(-3/5) = 6/5

The 6th term:

a₆ = a₁ + 5d =-69/40 + 5*6/5 = -69/40 + 240/40 =171/40 = 4 11/40

Answer:

n=16

Step-by-step explanation:

6n=9246n=924 nn

Write the problem as a mathematical expression.

6n=9246n=924 nn

Cancel the common factor of 99 and 2424.

Factor 33 out of 99.

6n=3(3)246n=3(3)24

Cancel the common

Factor 33 out of 2424.

6n=3⋅33⋅86n=3⋅33⋅8

Cancel the common factor.

6n=3⋅33⋅86n=3⋅33⋅8

Rewrite the expression.

6n=386n=38

Multiply the numerator of the first fraction by the denominator of the second fraction. Set this equal to the product of the denominator of the first fraction and the numerator of the second fraction.

6⋅8=n⋅36⋅8=n⋅3

Solve the equation for nn.

Rewrite the equation as n⋅3=6⋅8n⋅3=6⋅8.

n⋅3=6⋅8n⋅3=6⋅8

Multiply 66 by 88.

n⋅3=48n⋅3=48

Divide each term by 33 and simplify.

Divide each term in n⋅3=48n⋅3=48 by 33.

n⋅33=483n⋅33=483

Cancel the common factor of 33.

Cancel the common factor.

b. Consider a large population of turtles in which 30% of the population are snapping turtles and 70% of the population are box turtles. What is the value of the diversity index D for the population

Answers

Answer:  the value of the diversity index D for the population is 0.42

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that; population of the two species are

p1 = 30% = 0.3 (snapping turtle)

p2 = 70% = 0.7 ( box turtle)

so if two (2) organisms are picked, then they can be different from each other ( i.e Event E) under following two scenarios

E1 → First organism selected from p1 and second organism selected from p2

E2 → First organism selected from p2 and second organism selected from p1

which means we are observing the different orders in which the organisms can be picked.

So the probability of event E = the sum of probabilities of events E1 and E2.

which is;

D = P(E) = P(E1) + P(E2)

= P1×P2 + P2×P1

= 2P1P2

so we substitute

D = 2 × 0.3 × 0.7

D = 0.42

Therefore the value of the diversity index D for the population is 0.42

Scalene triangles are

acute triangles.      Scalene triangles always dont have that sharp corner..they sometimes do, the sharp turn which is 60 degrees, ACUTE IS ALWAYS 60 DEGREES.

area of a triangle is 14x^5 + 63x^2. If the base is 7x^2, write an expression to represent the height ( x^2 means x square)

Answers

Answer:

[tex]h=4x^3+18[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The area of a triangle, [tex]A=14x^5 + 63x^2[/tex]

Base, [tex]b=7x^2[/tex]

We need to find the height of the triangle.

The formula for the area of the triangle is given by :

[tex]A=\dfrac{1}{2}\times b\times h\\\\\text{h is height}\\\\h=\dfrac{2A}{b}\\\\h=\dfrac{2\times (14x^5 + 63x^2)}{7x^2}\\\\h=\dfrac{2\times 7x^2(2x^3 + 9)}{7x^2}\\\\h=2(2x^3+9)\\\\=4x^3+18[/tex]

So, the height of the triangle is [tex]4x^3+18[/tex].

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at a 90° angle, but most importantly (for this problem), they bisect the opposite angles of the rhombus equally.

This means that the two angles, given by the expressions (6x + 12) and (8x - 8), are equal to each other.

Set them equal to each other in an equation and solve for x.

6x + 12 = 8x - 8

Subtract 6x from both sides.

12 = 2x - 8

Add 8 to both sides.

20 = 2x

Divide both sides by 2.

x = 10

The value of 10 for x will make the given parallelogram a rhombus.

Clare subscribes to an online music streaming service
for a yearly fee of $96. Starting next month, there will
be a 12% increase in the fee.
The ad for another music streaming service is shown
below. Should Clare switch? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

She should go with service 2 because it is, cheaper. Service 1 cost $107.52, but service 2 cost only $105.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost now+increase$=new cost

(Part=percent*whole)

Increase=percent increase*cost now

i=12%*$96

i=0.12*96=$11.52

$96+11.52=107.52

Service two⬇️

8.72*12=$105

Yes Clare should switch to service 2 because; cheaper it costs only $105 which is lesser than $107.52

How to Calculate Yearly Fee?

To find the new cost, we will use the expression;

New Cost = Present Cost + increase

However,

Increase = percentage increase * present cost

Increase = 12% * $96

Increase = 0.12 * 96

Increase = $11.52

Thus;

New Cost  = $96 + 11.52

New Cost = $107.52

For Service two;

We are told that digital streaming costs $8.75 per month. Thus;

Cost = 8.75 * 12

Cost = $105
