If x = 1, y = 7, and z = 15, determine a number that when added to x, y, and z yields consecutive terms of a geometric sequence. What are the first three terms in the geometric sequence? 3

Answers

Answer 1

Given:

[tex]x = 1, y = 7,z = 15[/tex]

A number is added to x, y, and z yields consecutive terms of a geometric sequence.

To find:

The number which is added to  x, y, and z, then find the first three terms in the geometric sequence.

Solution:

Let the unknown number be k.

After adding k to x, y, and z, we get

[tex]x = 1+k, y = 7+k,z = 15+k[/tex]

These are the consecutive terms of a geometric sequence. So,

[tex](7+k)^2=(1+k)(15+k)[/tex]

[tex]49+14k+k^2=15+k+15k+k^2[/tex]

[tex]49+14k=15+16k[/tex]

Isolate the variable terms.

[tex]49-15=16k-14k[/tex]

[tex]34=2k[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{34}{2}=k[/tex]

[tex]17=k[/tex]

The unknown number is 17.

Now,

[tex]x=1+k[/tex]

[tex]x=1+17[/tex]

[tex]x=18[/tex]

Similarly,

[tex]y=7+k[/tex]

[tex]y=7+17[/tex]

[tex]y=24[/tex]

And

[tex]z=15+k[/tex]

[tex]z=15+17[/tex]

[tex]z=32[/tex]

Therefore, the three terms in the geometric sequence are 18, 24, 32.

What is the surface area of this design?
PLEASE HELP ASAP!!

Answers

SO you would have to first have the surface area of the cube which is 25 for each side so 25 x 6 = 150

Then you find the surface area for the other sides and It is 4 x 5 divided by two for each triangle on the side,  so that would be 20 and you multiply then 6.4 x 5 to equal 32 for the rectangle. The last part is the bottom and it is 4 x 5 again which is 20 so then you add them all up but im not sure.

Use the recursive relationship to complete the next two rows of Pascal's triangle. Row 5: 1 _ _ _ _ 1 Row 6: 1 _ _ _ _ _ 1

Answers

Answer:

      1   5  10  10   5   1           Row 5

   1   6   15  20  15   6    1       Row 6

Recursive relationship:

Each row has number of positions = row number + 1. The Row 0 is always 1.

The first and last number in each row is 1, the number in the second position and the penultimate corresponds to the number of the row.  The middle numbers correspond to the sum of the two numbers in the top row. The resulting number from the addition is located in the middle of the numbers added in the next row.

Step-by-step explanation:

The pascal's triangle

* Row 0  =  1

* Row 1 = 1  1

                   1                          Row 0

                1    1                       Row 1

Since there are only two positions, the first and last are 1.

*Row 2 = 1  _ 1

                   1                          Row 0

                1    1                       Row 1

              1   2   1                     Row 2

2 is the sum of 1 + 1 and we place it in the next row between the added numbers 1 and 1.

* Row 3 = 1 _  _    1

                  1                          Row 0

                1    1                       Row 1

              1   2  1                    Row 2

            1   3   3  1                   Row 3

1 + 2 = 3  (the row number and the and adding the numbers from the previous row)

* Row 4 = 1 _  _    _   1

                  1                          Row 0

                1    1                       Row 1

              1   2   1                     Row 2

            1   3  3  1                   Row 3

         1   4   6   4   1                Row 4

1 + 3 = 4  (the row number)

3 +3 = 6

* Row 5 = 1 _  _   _  _   1

                  1                          Row 0

                1    1                       Row 1

     1   5   10   10   5   1           Row 5

1 + 4 = 5

4 + 6 = 10

* Row 6 = 1  _  _ _  _  _   1

                  1                          Row 0

                1    1                       Row 1

Place the quadratic y=2x^2+24x+79 into vertex form by using the method of completing the square and then state the coordinates of its vertex.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y=2(x+6)^2+7[/tex]

[tex](-6,7)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]y=2x^2+24x+79[/tex]

Completing the square is a process of converting a quadratic equation in standard form into vertex form.

The first step in completing the square is grouping the quadratic and linear terms of the quadratic equation.

[tex]y=(2x^2+24x)+79[/tex]

Factor out the coefficient of the quadratic term,

[tex]y=2(x^2+12x)+79[/tex]

Now complete the square, add a term to make the grouped part of the equation a complete square, then balance the equation.

[tex]y=2(x^2+12x+36-36)+79[/tex]

Simplify,

[tex]y=2(x^2+12x+36)+79+(2)(-36)[/tex]

[tex]y=2(x+6)^2+79-72[/tex]

[tex]y=2(x+6)^2+7[/tex]

The x-coordinate of the vertex of the equation is equal to (-1) times the numerical part of the quadratic term, and the y-coordinate is equal to the constant.

26 is 7.05% or 7.04% of 369.

Step-by-step explanation:

Now 7.04% of 369 is actually 25.9776.

and 7.04% is 26.01452.

But if you round both 25.9776 and 26.01452 you get 26

So, technically you are correct.

Hope this helps!!!!!

The graph of  y=-x^2-12x-35 is attached and it has x intercepts at x=-7 and x=-5 and vertex is at (6, -107).

What is quadratic equation?

A quadratic equation is a second-order polynomial equation in a single variable x , ax²+bx+c=0. with a ≠ 0 .

To graph the equation y=-x^2-12x-35, we can start by finding the x-intercepts (or roots) and the vertex of the parabola.

To find the x-intercepts, we can set y=0 and solve for x:

0 = -x² - 12x - 35

Using the quadratic formula, we get:

x=-b±√b²-4ac/2a

x=12±√144-140/2(-1)

x=12±√144-140/(-2)

x=12±2/(-2)

The x-intercepts are approximately x=-7 and x=-5

To find the vertex, we can use the formula x=-b/2a to get the x-coordinate, and then substitute it into the equation to get the y-coordinate:

x = -b / 2a = -(-12) / 2(-1) = 6

y = -x² - 12x - 35 = -(6)^2 - 12(6) - 35 = -107

So the vertex is at (6, -107).

Hence, the graph of  y=-x^2-12x-35 is attached and it has x intercepts at x=-7 and x=-5 and vertex is at (6, -107).
