What are the possible values for the missing term of the geometric sequence? .004, _____, .4.04.04, -.04.0004.0004, -.0004
Answers
By definition, in a Geometric sequence the terms are found by multiplying the previous one by a constant. This constant is called "Common ratio".
In this case, you know these values of the set:
[tex]\begin{gathered} .004 \\ .4 \end{gathered}[/tex]Notice that you can set up this set with the value given in the first option:
[tex].004,.04,.4[/tex]Now you can check it there is a Common ratio:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{0.04}{0.004}=10 \\ \\ \frac{.4}{0.04}=10 \end{gathered}[/tex]The Common ratio is:
[tex]r=10[/tex]Therefore, it is a Geometric sequence.
Apply the same procedure with each option given in the exercise:
- Using
[tex].004,.04,-.04,.4[/tex]You can notice that it is not a Geometric sequence, because:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{-.04}{.04}=-1 \\ \\ \frac{.4}{-.04}=-10 \end{gathered}[/tex]- Using

A helicopter pilot sights a landmark an an angle of depression of 34°. The altitudeof the helicopter is 1,748 feet. To the nearest foot, what is the horizontal distancefrom the helicopter to the landmark?
Answers
For the question, we will be making a sketch showing the features in the question.
From the sketch and the question, the angle of depression = 34 degrees
The helicopter height above the ground (altitude) = 1,748 ft
L represents the landmark
x = horizontal distance from the helicopter to the landmark
To solve the question, we need to bring out the right triangle from the sketch
Angle e = 34 degrees (alternate to the angle of depression given)
To get x, we make use of the trigonometrical ratio of tan
[tex]\begin{gathered} \tan \text{ }\theta=\frac{opposite}{adjacent} \\ \text{From the right triangle, the opposite = 1748} \\ \text{The adjacent = x} \\ \theta=34^0 \\ \tan \text{ 34 =}\frac{\text{1748}}{x} \\ \text{Making x the subject of the formula, we have} \\ x=\frac{1748}{\tan 34} \\ x=\frac{1748}{0.6745} \\ x=2591.55 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the horizontal distance from the helicopter to the landmark to the nearest foot is 2592 feet.

The diamond method for factoring: Fill in the missing value
Answers
Consider a quadratic expression, let "m" and "n" represent the factors.
The diamond method of factoring is the following:
On the left of the diamond, there is one of the factors, for example, "m", of the right of the diamond you will find the other factor "n".
On the top of the diamond, you will find the product of both factors, on the bottom of the diamond you will find the sum of the factors.
Looking at the given diamond, you know the result of the product and the sum of both factors:
[tex]m*n=-15[/tex][tex]m+n=14[/tex]Using these expressions, you can find both factors.
- First, write the second expression for one of the variables, for example, for "n"
[tex]\begin{gathered} m+n=14 \\ m=14-n \end{gathered}[/tex]- Second, replace the expression obtained on the second equation:
[tex]\begin{gathered} m*n=-15 \\ (14-n)n=-15 \end{gathered}[/tex]Distribute the multiplication
[tex]14n-n^2=-15[/tex]Zero the expression and order the terms from greatest to least:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 14n-n^2+15=-15+15 \\ 14n-n^2+15=0 \\ -n^2+14n+15=0 \end{gathered}[/tex]- Third, use the quadratic expression to determine the possible values of n:
[tex]x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[/tex]Where
a is the coefficient of the quadratic term
b is the coefficient of the x-term
c is the constant
For the quadratic expression obtained, where "n" represents the x-variable.
[tex]-n^2+14n+15=0[/tex]The coefficients are:
a= -1
b=14
c=15
[tex]\begin{gathered} x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} \\ n=\frac{-14\pm\sqrt{14^2-4*(-1)*15}}{2*(-1)} \\ n=\frac{-14\pm\sqrt{196+60}}{-2} \\ n=\frac{-14\pm\sqrt{256}}{-2} \\ n=\frac{-14\pm16}{-2} \end{gathered}[/tex]Solve the sum and difference separately to determine both possible values for "n"
→Sum:
[tex]\begin{gathered} n=\frac{-14+16}{-2} \\ n=\frac{2}{-2} \\ n=-1 \end{gathered}[/tex]→Difference:
[tex]\begin{gathered} n=\frac{-14-16}{-2} \\ n=\frac{-30}{-2} \\ n=15 \end{gathered}[/tex]- Finally, determine the possible value/s of m:
For n=-1
[tex]\begin{gathered} m+n=14 \\ m+(-1)=14 \\ m-1=14 \\ m=14+1 \\ m=15 \end{gathered}[/tex]For n=15
[tex]\begin{gathered} m+n=14 \\ m+15=14 \\ m=14-15 \\ m=-1 \end{gathered}[/tex]So, the factors are -1 and 15 and the diamond is:

Larry Mitchell invested part of his $17000 advance at 2% annual simple interest and the rest at 5% annual simple interest. If his total yearly interest from both accounts was $610, find the amount invested at each rate
Answers
The simple interest is given by:
[tex]SI=Prt[/tex]where P is the principal (the amount we invest in the account), r is the interest rate and t is the time of investment.
Let P be the interest Larry made in the 2% account, the simple interest in this case is given by:
[tex]0.02P[/tex]Now for the second account we would have an envestment of (17000-P), then the simple interest have to be:
[tex]0.05(17000-P)[/tex]and we know that both investments have to be equal to 610, then we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 0.02P+0.05(17000-P)=610 \\ 0.02P+850-0.05P=610 \\ -0.03P=610-850 \\ -0.03P=-240 \\ P=\frac{-240}{-0.03} \\ P=8000 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore Larry invested $8000 in the 2% account and $9000 in the 5% account.

You want to buy a $364,000 home. You plan to pay 5% as a down payment, and take out a 30 year loan for the rest. (Enter numeric answers to 2 decimal places.)
a) How much is the loan amount going to be?
Answers
Considering buying a home for $364,000 and paying 5% down payment. The amount to be paid for loan is going to be $345 800
How to find the loan amountThe following is gotten from the question:
cost of the home = $ 364 000
percentage to pay as down payment = 5 %
Solving for the down payment
The down payment refers to the initial payment and is a percentage, We convert the percentage to decimal as follows
5 % = 5 / 100
= 0.05
The percentage of the money is calculated by multiplying as follows
5 % of $364 000
= 0.05 * 364 000
= $18 200
Solving for the loan amount
The loan amount is calculated by subtracting the down payment from the cost of home
= cost of the home - down payment
= $ 364 000 - $ 18 200
= $ 345 800
Conversion from percentage to decimal followed by multiplication helped to get the down payment, then subtracting the down payment from the cost of home helped to get the loan amount to be $345 800

Writing about Finding a Percen Explain how to find 27% of 16 using multiplication by a decimal. Then explain how to use estimation to check your answer.
Answers
To find 27% of 16 using multiplication by a decimal, we can proceed as follows:
First, convert the number 27 in decimal:
[tex]16\cdot\frac{27}{100}=16\cdot0.27=4.32[/tex]A way to estimate the possible value, we can multiply the number 16 by the nearest tenth, that is, 0.3. We know that the possible value is a little greater than the actual value.
We can do this in the following way:
[tex]16\cdot\frac{30}{100}=\frac{48}{100}=4.8[/tex]Then, after the estimation, we can say that the value must be less than 4.8. Multiplying by 3 or 30 is easier than by 27. This is a way to check the answer.
We can also say that if we multiply 16 by 3 is 48 (equivalently to 4.8, after doing the correct operations), and this is a quick value to know, that, approximately 4.32 is 27% of 16.

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{4}{5}=\frac{6}{x} \\ \text{cross}-\text{multiply} \\ 4\times x=6\times5 \\ 4x=30 \\ \text{divide both sides by the coefficient of x, which is 4} \\ \text{thus,} \\ \frac{4x}{4}=\frac{30}{4} \\ x=7.5 \end{gathered}[/tex]thus, BC = 7.5
2) BX = 9, BA = 15, BY = 15, YC = y
In the above diagram,
[tex]\begin{gathered} BC=BY+YC \\ \Rightarrow BC=15\text{ + y} \end{gathered}[/tex]Thus, from the theorem of similar triangles,
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{BX}{BA}=\frac{BY}{BC}=\frac{XY}{AC} \\ \frac{9}{15}=\frac{15}{15+y} \end{gathered}[/tex]solving for y, we have
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{9}{15}=\frac{15}{15+y} \\ \text{cross}-\text{multiply} \\ 9(15+y)=15(15) \\ \text{open brackets} \\ 135+9y=225 \\ \text{collect like terms} \\ 9y\text{ = 225}-135 \\ 9y=90 \\ \text{divide both sides by the coefficient of y, which is 9} \\ \text{thus,} \\ \frac{9y}{9}=\frac{90}{9} \\ \Rightarrow y=10 \end{gathered}[/tex]thus, YC = 10.
