We have
(a + bx) / (a - bx) = (b + cx) / (b - cx)
==> (a + bx) (b - cx) = (a - bx) (b + cx)
==> ab + (b ² - ac) x - bcx ² = ab + (ac - b ²) x - bcx ²
==> (b ² - ac) x = (ac - b ²) x
==> b ² - ac = ac - b ²
==> 2b ² = 2ac
==> b ² = ac … … … [1]
Similarly, you would find
(a + bx) / (a - bx) = (c + dx) / (c - dx)
==> ad = bc … … … [2]
and
(b + cx) / (b - cx) = (c + dx) / (c - dx)
==> c ² = bd … … … [3]
Now:
c ² = bd ==> b = c ² / d
b ² = ac ==> c = b ² / a
ad = bc ==> d = bc / a
and we find
d / c = (bc / a) / (b ² / a) = c / b
and
c / b = (b ² / a) / (c ² / d) = (b ² d) / (a c ²) = b / a
which is to say, the ratio between d and c is equal to the ratio between c and b, and also equal to the ratio between b and a. Therefore (a, b, c, d) are in a geometric progression.

1. Determine the sum of the first 53 terms of the following series: 179+173+167+...
2. Determine the sum of the first 19 terms of the following series: 6−12+24−48+...
Answers
(1) This series consists of terms of an arithmetic sequence:
179 - 173 = 6
173 - 167 = 6
and so on, so that the n-th term in the series is (for n ≥ 1)
a(n) = 179 - 6 (n - 1) = 185 - 6n
Then the sum of the first 53 terms is
[tex]\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^{53}(185-6n) = 185\sum_{n=1}^{53}1-6\sum_{n=1}^{53}n[/tex]
[tex]\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^{53}(185-6n) = 185\times53-6\times\frac{53\times54}2[/tex]
[tex]\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^{53}(185-6n) = \boxed{1219}[/tex]
(2) This series has terms from a geometric sequence:
-12 / 6 = -2
24/(-12) = -2
-48/24 = -2
and so on. The n-th term is (again, for n ≥ 1)
a(n) = 6 (-2)ⁿ⁻¹
and the sum of the first 19 terms is
[tex]\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^{19}6(-2)^{n-1} = 6\left(1 + (-2) + (-2)^2 + (-2)^3 + \cdots+(-2)^{19}\right)[/tex]
Multiply both sides by -2 :
[tex]\displaystyle-2\sum_{n=1}^{19}6(-2)^{n-1} = 6\left((-2) + (-2)^2 + (-2)^3 + (-2)^4 + \cdots+(-2)^{20}\right)[/tex]
Subtracting this from the first sum gives
[tex]\displaystyle(1-(-2))\sum_{n=1}^{19}6(-2)^{n-1} = 6\left(1 -(-2)^{20}\right)[/tex]
and solving for the sum, you get
[tex]\displaystyle3\sum_{n=1}^{19}6(-2)^{n-1} = 6\left(1 -(-2)^{20}\right)[/tex]
[tex]\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^{19}6(-2)^{n-1} = 2\left(1 -(-2)^{20}\right)[/tex]
[tex]\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^{19}6(-2)^{n-1} = 2\left(1 -(-1)^{20}2^{20}\right)[/tex]
[tex]\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^{19}6(-2)^{n-1} = 2\left(1 -2^{20}\right) = 2-2^{21} = \boxed{-2,097,150}[/tex]
Jada worked at the bakery for 14 hours last week he spent $12 of his earnings on a cake for his father‘s birthday as he was last with $86 after buying the cake what is Gianna‘s hourly wage
Answers
Answer:
$7 is his Hourly Wage.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can start by finding out how much money Jada started with by adding the amount of money he had after buying the cake with how much he spent on the cake, 86 + 12 = 98.
We now know how much money he had before buying anything. Now we can just divide the total amount of money by how long he worked.
98 ÷ 14 = 7

Answer:
x = 29.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Since this is a right triangle, we can use trig functions
cos x = adj side/ hypotenuse
cos x = 67/77
Taking the inverse cos of each side
cos^-1( cos x) = cos^-1 (67/77)
x = 29.52626525

In △MNP , point Q is between points M and N, and point R is between points N and P. Point H is the incenter of the triangle, HQ⊥MN, and HR ⊥NP. QN=36 and HN=39 . What is HR ? Enter your answer in the box.
Answers
Answer:
15
Step-by-step explanation:
The given parameters are represented by drawing the triangle with the details given using MS Visio
The point Q is located between points M and N in ΔMNP
The point R is located between points N and P in ΔMNP
The incenter of the triangle = H
Line HQ is perpendicular to side MN on ΔMNP
Line HR is perpendicular to side NP on ΔMNP
The length of the segment QN = 36
The length of the segment HN = 39
By Pythagoras' theorem, HQ = √((HN)² - (QN)²)
∴ HQ = √(39² - 36²) = 15
HQ = 15
Given that H is the incenter of ΔMNP, the lengths of the perpendicular from H to the sides of the triangle are equal to the radius of the inscribed circle of the triangle
Therefore, the radius lengths are HQ, and HR
∴ HR = HQ = 15
HR = 15.
Mrs. Kennedy is teaching an 8th grade class. She is standing 7 meters in front of Catherine. Davis is sitting to Catherine’s left. If Davis and Mrs. Kennedy are 12 meters apart, how far apart are Davis and Catherine?
13.90 meters
5 meters
9.75 meters
4.36 meters
Answers
Answer:
9.75 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Davis and Catherine are approximately 13.90 meters apart.
How to determine distance apartTo find the distance between Davis and Catherine, we can use the concept of right triangles and apply the Pythagorean theorem.
Let's consider a right triangle where the distance between Davis and Mrs. Kennedy is the base, the distance between Mrs. Kennedy and Catherine is the height, and the distance between Davis and Catherine is the hypotenuse.
According to the given information, Mrs. Kennedy is 7 meters in front of Catherine, and Davis and Mrs. Kennedy are 12 meters apart.
Using the Pythagorean theorem, we have:
(Base)² + (Height)² = (Hypotenuse)²
Substituting the given values:
(12)² + (7)² = (Hypotenuse)²
Simplifying the equation:
144 + 49 = (Hypotenuse)²
193 = (Hypotenuse)²
Taking the square root of both sides:
√193 ≈ 13.89 = 13.90
Therefore, Davis and Catherine are approximately 13.90 meters apart.

Answers
Answer:
A, B, F
Step-by-step explanation:
2/3 - x + 1/6 = 6x
Collect like terms
2/3 + 1/6 = 6x + x
(4+1) / 6 = 7x
5/6 = 7x
x = 5/6 ÷ 7
= 5/6 × 1/7
x = 5/42
a) 4 - 6x + 1 = 36x
4 + 1 = 36x + 6x
5 = 42x
x = 5/42
Equivalent to the last step of the simplification above
b) 5/6 - x = 6x
5/6 = 6x + x
5/6 = 7x
This is equivalent to the third step of the simplification
c) 4 - x + 1 = 6x
4 + 1 = 6x + x
5 = 7x
x = 5/7
Not equivalent to any of the steps in the simplification above
d) 5/6 + x = 6x
5/6 = 6x - x
5/6 = 5x
x = 5/6 ÷ 5
= 5/6 × 1/5
x = 5/30
Not equivalent to any of the steps in the simplification above
e) 5 = 30x
x = 5/30
Not equivalent to any of the steps in the simplification above
f) 5 = 42x
x = 5/42

what is the value of a if va- vh is equals to 1
Answers
Answer:
[tex] \displaystyle a = \frac{1+vh}{v}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
we want to figure out a value of a for the following condition
[tex] \displaystyle va - vh = 1[/tex]
to do so factor out v;
[tex] \displaystyle v (a - h )= 1[/tex]
divide both sides by v which yields:
[tex] \displaystyle \frac{(a-h) \cancel{(v)}}{ \cancel{v}}= \frac{1}{v} [/tex]
therefore,
[tex] \displaystyle a-h = { \frac{1}{v}}[/tex]
now,add h to both sides:
[tex] \displaystyle a = \frac{1}{v}+h[/tex]
further simplification if necessary:
[tex] \displaystyle a =\boxed{ \frac{1+vh}{v}}[/tex]
factor out of v
[tex]\sf{v(a-h)=1 }[/tex]Dividing both sides by (v)
[tex]\sf{\dfrac{v(a-h)}{(v)}=\dfrac{1}{(v)} }[/tex]cancel out (v)
[tex]\sf{\dfrac{\cancel{v}(a-h)}{\cancel{(v)}}=\dfrac{1}{(v)} }[/tex][tex]\sf{ a-h=\dfrac{1}{v} }[/tex]
add h in both sides
[tex]\sf{a-h+h=\dfrac{1}{v}+h }[/tex]cancelout h
[tex]\sf{a-\cancel{h}+\cancel{h}=\dfrac{1}{v}+h }[/tex] [tex]\sf{a=\dfrac{1}{v}+h }[/tex] [tex]\boxed{\sf{a=\dfrac{1+vh}{v} } }[/tex][tex]\sf{ }[/tex] [tex]\sf{ }[/tex]

Two towns A and B are 220km apart. A bus left town A at 11.00 AM and travelled towards town B at 60km/hr. At the same time, a van left town B for town A and travelled at 80km/hr. The van stopped for a total of 45 minutes on the way before meeting the bus. Calculate the distance covered by the bus before meeting the van. Please show clear working and explanation to get a brainlist !!!
Answers
Answer:
Sa / Va = time traveled by bus a
Sb / Vb + 3/4 = time traveled by van b
Sa / Va = Sb / Vb + 3/4 times traveled are the same
= (220 - Sa) / Vb + 3/4
Sa ( 1 / Va + 1 / Vb) = 220 / 80 + 3/4
Sa (140 / 4800) = 3.5
Sa = 120 km
Check: 120 km / 60 km/hr = 2 hr = Ta
Sb = 1.25 * 80 = 100 km traveling for 1.25 hrs

Four cans of cat food and 3 cans of dog food cost $1.99. Four cans of the same cat food and 1 can of the same dog food cost $1.33 hat is the cost of one can of cat food
Answers
Answer:
$0.25
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use System of Equations to find out how much a can of cat food costs.
Let's use variables to represent the cat food and dog food:
x = cost of 1 cat food can
y = cost of 1 dog food can
Here are our 2 equations based on the scenarios in the question:
4x + 3y = 1.99
4x + y = 1.33
Now let's set the second equation to y using basic algebra:
4x + y = 1.33
y = -4x+1.33
And we're going to plug that value of y, which is -4x+1.33 into the first equation and solve:
4x + 3y = 1.99
4x + 3(-4x+1.33) = 1.99
4x + -12x+3.99 = 1.99
-8x + 3.99 = 1.99
-8x = -2
x = 1/4
x = 0.25
1 can of cat food costs $0.25

This is the tangent of the angle.
The sine of the angle =√3/hypotenuse.
The hypotenuse = √( √3)^2 + 3^2) (By the Pythagoras theorem)

On a Job application Doris gave her age as 32 years. Her actual age at the time was about 27. What is the relative error fo her age?
Answers
Answer:
Relative error = 0.19
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Measured age = 32 years
Actual age = 27 years
Relative error =?
Next, we shall determine the absolute error. This can be obtained as follow:
Measured age = 32 years
Actual age = 27 years
Absolute error =?
Absolute error = | Measured – Actual |
Absolute error = | 32 – 27 |
Absolute error = 5 years
Finally, we shall determine the relative error. This can be obtained as follow:
Absolute error = 5 years
Actual age = 27 years
Relative error =?
Relative error = Absolute error / Actual years
Relative error = 5 / 27
Relative error = 0.19
