the sum of the first n terms of a sequence is 20 - 10 / 2 ^ n - 1 find the sum of the first five terms​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]S_5=\dfrac{170}{9}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The sum of first n term of a sequence is[tex]S_n=20-\dfrac{10}{2n-1}[/tex]

We need to find the sum of the first 5 terms.

Put n = 5,

[tex]S_5=20-\dfrac{10}{2(5)-1}\\\\=20-\dfrac{10}{10-1}\\\\=20-\dfrac{10}{9}\\\\=\dfrac{170}{9}[/tex]

So, the sum of first 5 terms is equal to [tex]\dfrac{170}{9}[/tex].

-- second law of thermodynamics

Step-by-step explanation:

The 1st law of thermodynamic states that there is conservation of energy, i.e. we cannot create energy and we cannot destroy energy also in an isolated system.

The given example is not a representative of the 1st law.

The [tex]\text{2nd law of thermodynamics}[/tex] states that there is a natural tendency of an isolated system to [tex]\text{degenerate}[/tex] into a more [tex]\text{disordered state.}[/tex] Before dropping the notes and papers were in an isolated ordered system.

After dropping the papers scattered and did not remain in a stack position. It moves into a more disordered state.

Begore dropping down the notes and papers, they were in a stable position, i.e. no kinetic energy is there. No randomness when the notes and the papers were dropped. There is an increase in kinetic energy. There is randomness among the molecules by bombardment. So there is an increase in entropy.

Thus, above illustrations represents :

Triangle PQR has been dilated to form triangle P'Q'R'. What is the least amount of information needed to determine if the two triangles are similar

Answers

Answer:

angles Q and Q' are congruent, angles R and R' are congruent

For two triangles to be congruent, we need to show is two of the  

1. corresponding angles are congruent,

or,

2. all three pairs of corresponding sides are proportional,  

or,

3. two pairs of corresponding sides are proportional AND the included angles are congruent.  

And, angles are always congruent when a figure is dilated

Therefore, angles Q and Q' are congruent, angles R and R' are congruent

(satisfies the first criterion that at least two corresponding angles are congruent)

dx = f'(g(x))g'(x) = 0

Answers

Answer:

-4sin(4x-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given y = cos u, u = 4x - 3

dy/dx = dy/du * du/dx

dy/du = -sinu

du/dx = 4

dy/dx = -4sinu

since u = 4x - 3

dy/dx = -4sin(4x-3)

A farmer in China discovers a mammal
hide that contains 71% of its original
amount of C-14.
N = Noekt
No = inital amount of C-14 (at time
t = 0)
N = amount of C-14 at time t
k = 0.0001
t = time, in years

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm assuming you're looking for the age of the mammal hide, since there's no question here, but there's also nothing else to solve for. Remember a few things before we move on. First, if we are not told the initial amount with which we start, we have to assume that it's 100%. Second, remember that natural log and e are inverses of each other so they eliminate each other in application. Now to set up the problem. It looks like this:

[tex]71=100e^{-.0001t}[/tex] and begin by dividing both sides by 100 to get

[tex].71=e^{-.0001t}[/tex] and take the natural log of both sides. The other important thing to remember about the rules for logs and natural logs is that when you take the natural log of something, you are "allowed" to move the exponent down out front, which is why we do this. We cannot currently solve for t when it's stuck up there where it is right now. Taking the natural log allows us to bring that exponent down AND eliminate both the natural log and the e at the same time:

ln(.71) = -.0001t and we divide to solve for t:

[tex]\frac{ln(.71)}{-.0001}=t[/tex] and

[tex]\frac{-.3424903089}{-.0001}=t[/tex] so

t = 3424.9 years, or rounded, 3425 years.

ABCD is a trapezium.
AB is parallel to DC and angle BAD is 90°.
Find the coordinates of D.

Answers

Answer:

D(-3, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given coordinates are;

A(-1, -5), B(5, -2) and (1, 1)

The coordinates and the coordinates of the point D form a trapezium

The parallel sides of the trapezium ABCD = AB and DC

The angle ∠BAD = 90°

The coordinates of the point D = Required

Let (x, y) represent the x and y-coordinates of the point D, by the given information, we get;

The slope of the line DC = The slope of the line AB

The slope of AB = (-2 - (-5))/(5 - (-1)) = 3/6 = 1/2

∴ The slope of CD, m = 1/2

From the point C(1, 1),the equation of the line CD is therefore;

y - 1 = (1/2)·(x - 1)

∴ y = x/2 - (1/2) + 1 = x/2 + 1/2

y = x/2 + 1/2

Given that ∠BAD is 90°, therefore, AD is perpendicular to DC and we have;

The slope of AD = -1/m

∴ The slope of AD = -1/(1/2) = -2

From the point A(-1, -5), the equation of the line AD is therefore;

y - (-5) = -2·(x - (-1))

y = -2·x - 2 - 5 = -2·x - 7

y = -2·x - 7

Equating both (simultaneous) values of y to find the value of x gives;

y = y, therefore;

x/2 + 1/2 = -2·x - 7

x/2 + 2·x = 5·x/2 = -7 - (1/2) = -15/2

∴ 5·x/2 = -15/2

x = (-15/2) × (2/5) = -3

x = -3

From y = -2·x - 7, and x = -3, we get;

y = -2 × (-3) - 7 = 6 - 7 = -1

The coordinates of the point D(x, y) = (-3, -1).

185/100 + 50% + 4%=?

Answers

Answer:

2.39

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert everything to a decimal.  

To do that with a fraction divide the numerator by the denominator.  

185 divided by 100 = 1.85

185/100 = 1.85

To convert a percent to a decimal divide the number by 100.

50 divided by 100 = 0.5

50/100 = 0.5

4 divided by 100 = 0.04

4/100 = 0.04

Now add:

1.85 + 0.5 + 0.04 = 2.39

The perimeter of a rectangular swimming pool is 154 meters. Its length is 2m more than twice its breadth. What are the length and the breadth of the pool?​

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

According to the question;

Perimeter of rectangle (p) = 154 m

Let the breadth of rectangle be "X" then length will be 2x+2.

Then;

Perimeter (p) = 2(l+b)

154 = 2((2x+2) + x)

154 = 2(3x+2)

154 = 6x + 4

or, 6x = 154-4

or, X = 150/6

Therefore, X= 25.

Hence;

Length = 2*25+2 = 52 m

Breadth = 25 m

Hope it helps!

We can assume,

Perimeter of rectangle = 154 m

Breadth = x

Length = 2x + 2

Now, perimeter = 2(l+b)

[tex] \sf \to 154= 2((2x+2) + x)[/tex]

[tex] \sf \to 154 = 2(3x+2)[/tex]

[tex] \sf \to 6x = 154-4[/tex]

[tex] \sf \to x = \frac{150}{6} = 25[/tex]

Then,

Breadth = 25 m

Length [tex] \sf = 2x + 2[/tex]

[tex] \sf \to (2 \times 25) + 2[/tex]

Which compound inequality is equivalent to | ax -b | > C for all real numbers a, b, and c, where c>0?

Answers

Hello,

Answer D

ax-b < -c or ax-b >c

If ax-b >0 then |ax-b| = ax-b ==> ax-b > c

if ax-b <0 then |ax-b|=-(ax-b) > c ==> ax-b <-c

The equivalent compoud inequality is (d) ax - b > c or ax - b < -c

How to determine the  compound inequality?

The absolute value expression is given as:

| ax -b | > c

Given that c > 0, then it means that:

| ax -b | > 0

So, we have the following inequalities from | ax -b | > c

ax - b > cax - b < -c

Hence, the equivalent compoud inequality is (d) ax - b > c or ax - b < -c
