the first term of a geometric progression is 12 and the second term is -6. Find the (i) the tenth term of the progression (ii) the sum to infinity

Answers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

a1=ar⁰=12 A2=ar¹=-6

a=12 ar=-6

12r=-6

r=-6/12

r=-1/2

a10=ar⁹

=12*(-1/2)⁹

=12*(-512)

=-3/128

S∞ = a1 / (1-r )

=12/(1-1/2)

=12*1/2

=6

Answer 2

The tenth term of the progression will be -3/128, and the sum to infinity will be 6.

What is geometric progression?

The geometric progression defined as a series represents the sum of the terms in a finite or infinite geometric sequence. The successive terms in this series share a common ratio.

The nth term of a geometric progression is expressed as

Tₙ = arⁿ⁻¹

Where a is the first term, r is the common ratio

We have been given that the first term of a geometric progression is 12 and the second term is -6

So common ratio r = second term/first term = -6/12= -1/2

The tenth term of the progression will be

⇒ ar¹⁰⁻¹ = ar⁹

⇒ 12(-1/2)⁹

⇒ -12(1/512)

⇒ -3/128

The sum to infinity = a / (1-r )

The sum to infinity = 12/(1 - 1/2)

The sum to infinity = 12 × 1/2

The sum to infinity = 6

Thus, the tenth term of the progression will be -3/128, and the sum to infinity will be 6.

The equation 50=36.50+0.10m represent the additional number of messages roboerto can send with a budget of $50 .solve the equation to find the number he has left to send

Answers

Answer :
M = 135

Step by Step Explanation :
See the photo attached :) it’s kinda hard to explain in words but you cancel out the 36.50 by subtracting it on both sides, and then the equation becomes 13.50 = 0.10m. Since we have to get the m by itself, you cancel out the 0.10 by subtracting on both sides, and it leaves you with 135 = m

You can write them as a sum of a whole and fraction and use the distributive property of multiplication:

after swimming 60 feet below the surface of the water, a whale swims up 30 feet. use a number line to help you create an equation that shows the new location of the whale in relation to the water's surface.

ANSWER:

A. The equation is -60 + 30 = 30. The whale is 30 feet below the waters surface.

B. The equation is -60 + (-30) = -90. The whale is 90 feet below the waters surface.

C. The equation is -60 + 30 = -90. The whale is 90 feet below the waters surface

D. The equation is -60 + (-30) = -30. The whale is 30 feet below the waters surface.​

Answers

Answer:

First, in standard notation, we must define our zero.

In this case, would make sense to define the zero in the surface of the water.

(below is a number line so you can see the process to think this)

Then if the whale is swimming 60ft bellow the surface of the water, then the first position of the whale is:

-60

Now the whale goes up 30ft, then the new position of the whale is:

-60ft + 30ft = -30ft.

The correct option is A:

The equation is -60 + 30 = -30. The whale is 30 feet below the water's surface.

(you wrote that the equation was equal to +30 instead of -30 in the option A, i supposed that it was a typo)

Ob.{-2, 0, 1,3}

Answers

Answer:

(03.01) The domain of a relation is the output (y) values of the relation the input (x) values of the relation a set of points that pair input values with output values x and y values written in the form (x, y)

{-2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3} representing the domain of the relation.

What is a function?

A relation is a function if it has only One y-value for each x-value.

To determine the domain of a relation, we need to identify all possible values for the input or independent variable.

In this case, without any further information, we can look for the set of numbers provided in the answer choices and determine which set includes all possible values for the input.

Looking at the given answer choices:

A. {-1, 0, 1, 3}

B. {-2, 0, 1, 3}

C. {-2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3}

D. {0, 1, 2, 3}

Since there is no specific information or restrictions mentioned, the most inclusive set that covers all possible values for the input variable is {-2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3}.

Therefore, {-2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3}, representing the domain of the relation.

Answers

Answer:

93 large, 3 medium

the first thing you gotta do is find the least amount of the smaller number that you can take away until it becomes a  multiple of the largest number.

1356-12(1)

1344-12(2)

1332-12(3)

1320 12 factored into 1356 3 times before we reached a multiple of 15 so we subtract 3 from the total number of pizza sold and we have 93 large pizzas and 3 medium pizzas
