Full Question:

The 4th term of a g.p. is 40 and the 10th term in the sequence is 2560, what is the 11th term in the sequence ?

Answer:

the 11 the term is 5120

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Geometry Progression

4th term = 40

10th term = 2560

Required

11 term.

The nth term of a geometric sequence is calculated as follows

Tₙ = arⁿ⁻¹

For the 4th term, n = 4 and Tₙ = 40

Substitute these in the given formula; this gives

40 = ar⁴⁻¹

40 = ar³. --;; equation 1

For the 10th term, n = 10 and Tₙ = 2560

Substitute these in the given formula; this gives

2560 = ar¹⁰⁻¹

2560 = ar⁹. --;; equation 2

Divide equation 2 by 1. This gives

2560/40 = ar⁹/ar³

64 = r⁹/r³

From laws of indices

64 = r⁹⁻³

64 = r⁶

Find 6th root of both sides

(64)^1/6 = r

r = (2⁶)^1/6

r = 2

Substitute r = 2 in equation 1

40 = ar³. Becomes

40 = a * 2³

40 = a * 8

40 = 8a

Divide both sides by 8

40/8 = 8a/8

5 = a

a = 5.

Now, the 11 term can be solved using Tₙ = arⁿ⁻¹ where n = 11

So,

Tₙ = arⁿ⁻¹ becomes

Tₙ = 5 * 2¹¹⁻¹

Tₙ = 5 * 2¹⁰

Tₙ = 5 * 1024

Tₙ = 5120.

Henxe, the 11 the term is 5120

At a bake shop, the cost of flour is $2.50 per pound and increases at a rate of $0.07 per month. The cost of cocoa is $6.00 per

Vesna [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We will find two equations for this system, one representing flour and the other representing cocoa. For the flour, we start with $2.50, and the cost goes up .07 per month, x. The equation for that is

y = .07x + 2.50

For the cocoa, the equation is written in the exact same way, but the cost goes down. Down is a negative thing while up is a positive thing. The cost starts at $6.00 and goes down .03 per month, x. The equation for that is

y = -.03x + 6.00

Comparing the first equation to the second, the .07 is positive because the cost goes UP that amount per month and the .03 is negative because the cost goes DOWN that amount per month. Get it?

If y is cost and we are tryong to find out where the cost is the same, we are looking for when y is the same. If the first y is equal to .07x + 2.50 and the second y is equal to -.03x + 6.00, and y is equal to y, then

.07x + 2.50 = -.03x + 6.00 (this is setting the first y equal to the second y). This is the system that describes how to find the number of months x when the cost y is the same. We'll solve it just for practice.

Combining like terms we get

.10x = 3.5 so

x = 35

Now back sub in what x equals to solve for y. If x = 35, then in the first equation,

.07(35) + 2.50 = y and

y = 4.95 (you could have used the second equation and subbed in 35 for x and you will get the exact same y value. Promise!)

What this answer tells us is that 35 months after the start of this pricing, the cost of flour will be the same as the cost of cocoa. But immediately after 35 months, the costs will not be the same anymore. It is only AT 35 months. At 36 months, the costs will be different.

Choose Yes or No to tell if the digit in the ones place is 1/10 the value of the digit in the tens place.

Radda [10]

Answer:

4099 yes
4110 no
5909 no
5011 yes

Step-by-step explanation:

The digits will be related by a factor of 10 if they are the same digit. 4099 and 5011 have the same digit in the tens and ones places. 4110 and 5909 do not.

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

-1.14

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information in statement is

mean=μ=69

standard deviation=σ=3.5

Let X be the Ishaan's exam score

X=65

The Z score can be computed as

$z=\frac{x-mean}{standard deviation}$

$z=\frac{65-69}{3.5}$

z=-1.1429

z=-1.14 (rounded to two decimal places).

Thus, the computed z-score for Ishaan's exam grade is -1.14.

One of the tallest buildings in a country is topped by a high antenna. The angle of elevation from the position of a surveyor on

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

a. distance of the surveyor to the base of the building = 2051.90 ft

b. height of the building = 1384 ft

c. Angle of elevation from the surveyor to the top of the antenna = 38.31°

d. Height of antenna = 237.08 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The picture above is a illustration of the described event.

a = the height of the flag

b = the height of the building

c = distance of the surveyor from the base of the building

the angle of elevation from the position of the surveyor on the ground to the top of the building = 34°

distance from her position to the top of the building = 2475 ft

distance from her position to the top of the flag = 2615 ft

(a) How far away from the base of the building is the surveyor located?

using the SOHCAHTOA principle

cos 34° = c/2475

c = 0.8290375726 × 2475

c = 2051.8679921

c = 2051.90 ft

(b) How tall is the building

The height of the building = b

sin 34° = opposite /hypotenuse

0.5591929035 = b/2475

b = 0.5591929035 × 2475

b = 1384.0024361

b = 1384.00 ft

(c) What is the angle of elevation from the surveyor to the top of the antenna?

let the angle = ∅

cos ∅ = adjacent/hypotenuse

cos ∅ = 2051.90/2615

cos ∅ = 0.784665392

∅ = cos-1 0.784665392

∅ = 38.310258303

∅ = 38.31°

(d) How tall is the antenna?

height of the antenna = a

sin 38.31° = opposite/hypotenuse

sin 38.31° = (a + b)/2615

sin 38.31° × 2615 = (a + b)

(a + b) = 0.6199159917 × 2615

(a + b) = 1621.0803182

(a + b) = 1621. 08 ft

Height of antenna = 1621. 08 - 1384.00 = 237.08031822 ft

Height of antenna = 237.08 ft
