Answer:

$QS=68\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the value of x

we know that

r is the midpoint of qs

QR=RS

QS=QR+RS------> QS=2RS -----> equation A

RT=RS+ST ----> equation B

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

Substitute the given values in the equation B and solve for x

$8x-43=(2x-4)+(4x-1)$

$8x-43=6x-5$

$8x-6x=43-5$

$2x=38$

$x=19$

step 2

Find the value of RS

$RS=2x-4$

substitute the value of x

$RS=2(19)-4$

$RS=34\ units$

step 3

Find the value of QS

Remember equation A

QS=2RS

$QS=2(34)=68\ units$

Find the sum of the first 8 terms of the sequence: -5. 15, -45, 135, .......

MakcuM [25]

Sum of geometric sequence

for the sum where the initial value is a₁ and the common ratio is r and the term is n

$S_n= \frac{a_1(1-r^n)}{1-r}$

common ratio is -3
-5 times -3 is 15, -15 times -3=-45 etc
first term is -5
and we want the 8th term

$S_8= \frac{-5(1-(-3)^8)}{1-(-3)}$
$S_8= \frac{-5(1-6561)}{1+3}$
$S_8= \frac{-5(-6560)}{4}$
$S_8= \frac{32800}{4}$
$S_8= 8200$

the sum is 8200

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

For a better understanding of the solution provided please go through the diagram in the file attached.

Let ABCD be the rectangular yard. The diagonal d=17 meters. AD=8 meters. Therefore, the length of DC can be found by applying the Pythagorean theorem in the right triangle $\Delta ADC$ as:

$DC=\sqrt{17^2-8^2}=\sqrt{(AC)^2-(AD)^2}=\sqrt{225} =15$ meters.

Excel:In cell B13, create a formula using the VLOOKUP function that looks up the value from cell A11 in the range A5:B7, returns

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

=Vlookup'B13' A11' 7'false

Press enter.

Step-by-step explanation:

Vlookup is a technique in excel which enables users to search for criterion values. It is vertical lookup function in excel which return a value from a different column. The formula for Vlookup function is:

=Vlookup'select cell you want to look up in' select cell you want to lookup from' select column index number' true/false.

where true is approximate match and false is exact match.

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

There is not sufficient evidence to warrant the rejection of the claim that the mean weight of cereal is atleast 14 oz

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypothesis for the test above will be stated as follows :

The claim to be tested is the alternative hypothesis, which is the negation of the Null hypothesis

H0 : μ < 14

H1 : μ ≥ 14

If the Null is rejected, then it means that the company's claim that the mean weight of its cereal being atleast 14 is valid ;

Then it means there is significant evidence to support the stance that the mean weight of cereal in the company's packet is atleast 14 oz.
