The fifth term of a geometric sequence is 32 and the eighth term is 4.
(a) Find the ratio. (2 marks)
(b) Find the first term. (2 marks)
(C) Find the sum of the first 50 terms of the sequence. (3 marks)
What is the first term?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a. 1/2

b. 512

c. 1024

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of a geometric progression can be written as;

Tn = ar^n-1

where a is the first term, r is the common ratio and n is the term number

From the question;

Fifth term = ar^4 = 32

Eight term = ar^7 = 4

a. We want to find the common ratio

What to do here is that we can divide the 8th by the 5th term

ar^7/ar^4 = 4/32

r^3 = 1/8

r^3 = (1/2)^3

Thus r = 1/2

b. First term

we can make a substitution in any of the two given terms

Let’s use the fifth term

ar^4 = 32

a * (1/2)^4 = 32

a * 1/16 = 32

a = 16 * 32

a = 512

C. Sum of the first 50 terms

To calculate this, we use the sum of terms formula

Sn = a(1- r^n)/1-r

a = 512 , n = 50 and r = 1/2

Making the substitution;

Sn = 512(1-(1/2)^50)/1-1/2

Kindly note that (1/2)^50 will be infinitesimally small and will be close to zero

So we can approximate (1/2)^50 to be zero

Hence;

Sn = 512(1-0)/0.5

Sn = 512/0.5

Sn = 1024

Answers

Answer:

(s+2)^3

Step-by-step explanation:

I think this is referring to a square as a box, so the length of a jewelry box would be s. We learn that a shipping box is 2 inches longer, so s+2 = the length of the shipping box.

Volume = Length*Width*Height, but if square, all dimensions are the same, so s+2 to the power of 3 would be your answer.

Using the information that
5.2 x 67 = 348.4
write down the value of
a) 52 x 67
b) 5.2 x 6.7
c) 348.4 - 52

Answers

Answer:

Below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) 52 = 5.2 * 10 so the result is 348.4 * 10 = 3484.

b) 6.7 is a tenth of 67 so the result is  348.4 / 10 = 34.84.

c) 348.4  - 52 = 296.4.

Two times the complement of an angle is 23 less than the supplementary of the angle. What is the measure of the angle?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the angles be x and y

If the two angles are complementary then their sum is 90 i.e x+y = 90

x = 90-y

If the two angles are supplementary, then their sum is 180 i.e x+y = 180

x = 180-y

If two times the complement of an angle is 23 less than the supplementary of the angle, this is written as;

2(90-y) = (180-y)-23

180-2y = 157-y

-2y+y = 157-180

-y = -23

y = 23

Hence the angle is 23°

Given f(x) = 4(x - 8), determine the value of f(10).

Answers

Answer:

f(10) = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 4(x - 8)

Let x = 10

f(10) = 4 ( 10-8)

       = 4 ( 2)

      = 8

Here, we are provided with a polynomial in x and it's general value in variable X is also given.

[tex]f(x) = 4( x - 8)[/tex]

We need to find the value of f(10)

For this, we need to substitute the value of x with 10, because we are required to find f(10)

Given polynomial, f(x) = 4(x - 8), Putting value of x

[tex]f(10) = 4(10 - 8)[/tex]

[tex]f(10) = 4(2)[/tex]

[tex]f(10) = \boxed{ \red{8}}[/tex]

Answer:

A. Brian will need 1.75 (1 3/4) cups of flour

B. Brian will need 1 1/16 cups of sugar

Step-by-step explanation:

Brian wants to make it for 3 people, so everything must be divided by 4 since 12/4=3.

7/4=1.75

4 1/4 divided by 4=1 1/16

Answer:A is 21 cups of flour and B is 12 3/4 cups of sugar
