Consider we need to find the first five terms of the given AP and the explicit formula.

Given:

[tex]a_n=a_{n-1}-3[/tex] when [tex]a_1=5[/tex]

To find:

First five terms of the given AP and the explicit formula.

Solution:

We have,

[tex]a_n=a_{n-1}-3[/tex]       ...(i)

[tex]a_1=5[/tex], it means first term is 5.

Putting n=2 in (i), we get

[tex]a_2=a_{2-1}-3[/tex]

[tex]a_2=a_{1}-3[/tex]

[tex]a_2=5-3[/tex]

[tex]a_2=2[/tex]

Second term is 2. So, common difference is

[tex]d=a_2-a_1[/tex]

[tex]d=2-5[/tex]

[tex]d=-3[/tex]

First terms is 5 and common difference is -3. So, the first five terms of the AP are 5, 2, -1, -4, -7.

The explicit formula of an AP is

[tex]a_n=a_1+(n-1)d[/tex]

[tex]a_n=5+(n-1)(-3)[/tex]

[tex]a_n=5-3n+3[/tex]

[tex]a_n=8-3n[/tex]

Therefore, the explicit formula of AP is [tex]a_n=8-3n[/tex].

m∠AYB = 85°

m∠C = 50°

Step-by-step explanation:

By is the angle bisector of ∠ABC,

Therefore, m∠1 = m∠2 = 30°

m∠3 = 35°

m∠AYB + m∠YAB + m∠ABY = 180°

m∠AYB = 180° - [(m∠1 + m∠2) + m∠3]

             = 180° - [(30° + 30°) + 35°]

             = 180° - 95°

             = 85°

m∠A + m∠B + m∠C = 180°

2(30°) + 2(35)° + m∠C = 180°

Three triangles have the side lengths given below:

Triangle X: 8cm, 13cm, 5cm
Triangle Y: 14cm, 30cm, 17cm
Triangle Z: 26cm, 10cm, 24cm

Which of the triangles could not be right triangles?

Answers

Answer:

Triangle Z

Step-by-step explanation:

If a triangle is a right angle triangle, it will follow the Pythagoras theorem.

By Pythagoras theorem,

(Hypotenuse)² = (Leg 1)² + (Leg 2)²

Options (1)

Side lengths of the triangle X: 8 cm, 13 cm, 5 cm

By Pythagoras theorem,

(13)² = 8² + 5²

169 = 64 + 25

169 = 69

False.

Option (2)

Side lengths of triangle Y: 14 cm, 30 cm, 17 cm

By Pythagoras theorem,

(30)² = (14)² + (13)²

900 = 196 + 169

900 = 365

False.

Option (3)

Side lengths of triangle Z: 26 cm, 10 cm, 24 cm

By Pythagoras theorem,

(26)² = (10)² + (24)²

676 = 100 + 576

676 = 676

True.

Therefore, triangle Z represents a right triangle.

Since its a right angle triangle we can use the pythogorean theorem, which is a^2 + b^2 = c^2

So if we apply it to this situation we get,

12^2 + b^2 = 20^2

144 + b^2 = 400

b^2= 400 - 144

b^2= 256

A jeweler is making a triangular pendant. He has two sides of length 23 mm and 31 mm. What are the

possible lengths (in whole mm) for the third side?

Answers

Answer:

38.60mm

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

Given data

We are given that the dimension of the triangles are length 23 mm and 31 mm

Let us assume that the triangle is a right angle triangle

Step two:

Applying the Pythagoras theorem we can find the third as

[tex]z^2= x^2+y^2\\\\z^2= 31^2+23^2\\\\z^2= 961+529\\\\z^2= 1490\\\\[/tex]

square both sides

z= √ 1490

z= 38.60mm

Hence a possible dimension of the third side is 38.60mm

Solve the equation 8 sin x = 2.5 for
the interval 0° to 720°

Answers

Answer:

18.2°, 161.8° and 378.2°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression:

8 sin x = 2.5

Divide both sides by 8

sinx = 2.5/8

Sinx = 0.3125

x = arcsin(0.3125)

x1 = 18.2

Since sin theta is positive in the second quadrant, x2 = 180 - 18.2 = 161.8°

Since our angle must lie in between  0° and 720°,then;

x3 = 360 + 18.2 = 378.2°

Hence the required angles are 18.2°, 161.8° and 378.2°

An original oil painting measures 55" x 55". The artist wants to produce prints that are 2.5 times smaller than the original painting. What will be the side length, in inches, of the prints?

Answers

Answer:

The side length of the prints is approximately 34.785 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we have to calculate the area of the original oil painting ([tex]A[/tex]), measured in square inches, by the following formula:

[tex]A = l^{2}[/tex] (1)

Where [tex]l[/tex] is the length of the side, measured in inches.

And the length of the miniature is determine by means of reduction factor ([tex]k[/tex]), with no unit:

[tex]\frac{A}{k} = l'^{2}[/tex] (2)

If we know that [tex]l = 55\,in[/tex] and [tex]k = 2.5[/tex], then the side length of the miniatures is:

[tex]l' = \sqrt{\frac{l^{2}}{k} }[/tex]

[tex]l' = \frac{l}{\sqrt{k}}[/tex]

[tex]l' = \frac{55\,in}{\sqrt{2.5}}[/tex]

[tex]l' \approx 34.785\,in[/tex]

The side length of the prints is approximately 34.785 inches.

Examine these points on line u and line v. Line u: (9, –8), (5, 4) Line v: (4, 2), (7, –7) How many points of intersection are there between line u and line v?

Answers

Answer:

The line u and line v have no point of intersection because they are parallel lines

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a straight line is given as follows;

[tex]Slope, \, m =\dfrac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}[/tex]

The slope of line u is (4 - (-8))/(5 - 9) = -3

The equation for line u is y - 4 = -3*(x - 5)

y = -3·x + 15 + 4 = 19 - 3·x

The slope for line v is (-7 - 2)/(7 - 4) = -3

The equation for the line v is y - 2 = -3*(x - 4)

∴ y = -3x + 12 + 2 = -3x + 14

y = 14 - 3·x

Therefore. line u and line v have the same slope and are therefore parallel and they do not intersect

A tour director collected AED 258 for 13 tour packages. Tour packages A cost AED 18 and tour package B costs AED 22. How many of each tour package were sold?

Answers

Answer:

6 packages B

7 packages A

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number of packages A be a and the number of packages B be b

Total number of packages is 13;

Thus;

a + b = 13 •••••(i)

Total package a cost is 18(a) = 18a

Total package b cost is 22(b) = 22b

Total of both is 258

18a + 22b = 258 •••••••(ii)

From i, a = 13-b

Put this in equation ii

18(13-b) + 22b = 258

234-18b + 22b = 258

4b = 258-234

4b = 24

b = 24/4 = 6

since;

a + b = 13

a + 6 = 13

a = 13-6

a = 7

Answers

Answer:

x ≈ 2.1

y ≈ 5.4

w = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

Segment AC = 13

Segment BC = y

Segment AD = 12

Segment CD = w

Segment BD = x

By Pythagoras's theorem, for the right triangle ΔACD, we have;

[tex]\overline {AC}[/tex]² = [tex]\overline {AD}[/tex]²  + [tex]\overline {CD}[/tex]²

∴ 13² = 12² + w²

w² = 13² - 12² = 25

w = √(25) = 5

w = 5

By, Pythagoras's theorem similarly, in the right triangle ΔBCD we have;

y² = x² + w²

∴ y² = x² + 5² = x² + 25

y² = x² + 25

In the right triangle ΔABC we have;

[tex]\overline {AB}[/tex]² = [tex]\overline {AC}[/tex]²  + [tex]\overline {CB}[/tex]²

∴ (12 + x)² = 13² + y² = 13² + (x² + 25)

(12 + x)² = 13² + (x² + 25)

144 + 24·x + x² = 13² + x² + 25

24·x = 13² + 25 - 144 = 50

x = 50/24 ≈ 2.1

x ≈ 2.1

y² = x² + 25

∴ y = √(x² + 25) = √((50/24)² + 25) = 65/12 ≈ 5.4

y ≈ 5.4

Answers

Answer:

The value of x is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given triangle

∵ A segment joining two points lie on the two side

∵ This segment is parallel to the third side

∴ This segment divides the two sides into parts that have the same ratio

→ That means x over 2x - 3 equal to 10 over 14

∵ [tex]\frac{x}{2x-3}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{10}{14}[/tex]

→ By using cross multiplication

10 × (2x - 3) = x × 14

∴ 10(2x) - 10(3) = 14x

∴ 20x - 30 = 14x

→ Add 30 to both sides

∵ 20x - 30 + 30 = 14x + 30

∴ 20x = 14x + 30

→ Subtract 14x from both sides

∵ 20x - 14x = 14x - 14x + 30

∴ 6x = 30

→ Divide both sides by 6

x = 5

The value of x is 5

Explain why the quotient of two integers with different signs is negative PLEASE.

Answers

Answer:

Ok, so we have the fact that plus +minus=minus

Thats the fact. It always works that way that same signs means positive and different means negative, as explained with logic.

4+(-5)

So we know that 4 is positive and -5 is negative

if you look at it through a number line, substracting 5 from 4 you have

3--->2---->1---->0---->-1

Under zero, the negatives start, so its proved by maths and logic as well.

Step-by-step explanation:

The quotient of two integers with different signs is negative because if a number is divided by the negative number it always gives a negative value.

What is the quotient?

The number being divided is referred to as the dividend, and the number being divided by it is referred to as the divisor. The quotient is the outcome of the division.

Due to the following causes, it is discovered that the two quotients with the two different signs give a negative quotient.

Divide the absolute values of the integers to divide the two numbers with a different sign. The ratio is adverse. Note from this rule that 12/–3 and −12/3 are equal to – 4.

The product of two negative integers has a positive quotient. If the indicators differ, the response is unfavorable. The answer is yes if the signals are consistent.

Thus, the quotient of two integers with different signs is negative because if a number is divided by the negative number it always gives a negative value.
