125, 312.5...., given that a, = 8?

(1) a, = 4,- 1 ta

(3) 4, = 4, + 1.5(, -1)

(2) a. = 2.5(

4-1) (4) 4 = (a), -1)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: a = 2.5 (an-1)

Step-by-step explanation: trust me;)

Answer 2

The function which is used to represent the geometric progression 8, 20, 50, 125, 312.5, ... is [tex]a_{n} = 8(2.5)^{n-1}[/tex].

What is geometric progression?

sequence where each succeeding term is produced by multiplying each preceding term by a fixed number, which is called a common ratio. This progression is as a geometric sequence of  numbers.

Formula for nth term of geometric progression

[tex]a_{n} =ar^{n-1}[/tex]

Where,

[tex]a_{n}[/tex] is the nth term of the sequence or geometric progression

n is the total number of terms

r is the common ratio

and a is the first term

According to the given question

We have

A geometric progression

8, 20, 50, 125, 312.5

Now the common ratio for the above progression is given by

[tex]r = \frac{20}{8} = 2.5[/tex]

And the first term is

a = 8

Therefore, the function which is used to represent the above sequence is given by

[tex]a_{n} = 8(2.5)^{n-1}[/tex]

Hence, the function which is used to represent the geometric progression 8, 20, 50, 125, 312.5, ... is [tex]a_{n} = 8(2.5)^{n-1}[/tex].

The area of the circle semicircle will be 13288.28 square centimeters.

What is the area of a circle?

Suppose the circle has a radius of 'r' units, then, its area is given as:

A = πr² square unit

The radius of the semicircle is 92 cm.

The area of the semicircle is half of the area of the circle.

Then the area of the circle semicircle will be

A = π x 92² / 2

A = π x 8464/ 2

A = 4232 x 3.14

A = 13288.48 square cm

a toy car costing 500.00 is reduced by 10% in the sale how much does it cost now?

Answers

After the 10% reduction in the price of the  toy car, the car costs 450.

In order to determine the cost of the toy car after the price was reduced by 10%, the first step is to determine what 10% of $500 is.

10% x 500

0.1 x 500 = 50.

The second step is to subtract the value of the 10% price reduction from the original cost of the  toy car.

500 - 50 = 450

Answer:

y=-2x-7

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope intercept form:

y+mx+b

m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

We can take the first two points and find the slope by:

[tex]\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex] ->

[tex]\frac{-5-3}{-1- - 5}[/tex] = -2.

That’s the slope.

For the y-intercept we solve the equation:

y=−2(−5)+b -> b = -7

now we have the slope and y-intercept so the equation is:

y=-2x-7

Assuming these are the correctly written equations:

5y = x + 49

y = (1/5)x + (49/5)

∠DOB=108°

Step-by-step explanation:

∠AOD=∠COB=y

∠AOC=3.5y-y-y

          =1.5y

3.5y+1.5y=360° (angles at a pt)

          5y=360°

             y=360°÷5

               =72°

         1.5y=72°×1.5

               =108°

Hence, ∠DOB=108°.

Answer:

108

Step-by-step explanation:

Call the angle facing east x. The angle facing west is also x. The angle facing north, (thus the angle facing south) is given and is y. You can tell that if you take y twice and x once you get 3.5y, and it's easy to spot that x+y=180. Rest is simple math as in the image added - sorry for the handwriting. With simple algebra (you substitute back and forth) you should get x = 108 degrees.
