Find the sum of the first 8 terms of the following sequence. Round to the nearest hundredth if necessary 6,−4, 8/3

Answers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

with the introduction of fractions it is clear we are multiplying things to get the sequence.

that makes this a geometric sequence, meaning that every new term is created by multiplying the previous term by a certain constant number, the ratio r.

what do we have to multiply with the first term (6) to get -4 ?

6×r = -4

r = -4/6 = -2/3

to check we use the same factor with the second term and see, if we get the predefined third term :

-4 × -2/3 = 8/3

correct, perfect.

so,

a0 = 6

an = an-1 × -2/3 = a0 × (-2/3)^(n-1) = 6 × (-2/3)^(n-1)

for the sum of a finite number of terms of a geometric sequence the formula is :

Sn = a0×(r^n - 1) / (r - 1) if |r| > 1

Sn = a0×(1 - r^n) / (1 - r) if |r| < 1

Sn = a0×n if r = 1

in our case : |-2/3| = 2/3 < 1

S8 = 6×(1 - (-2/3)⁸) / (1 - (-2/3)) =

= 6×(1 - 256/6561) / (3/3 - -2/3) =

= 6×(6561/6561 - 256/6561) / (5/3) =

= 6×(6305/6561) × (3/5) = 2×(6305/2187) × (3/5) =

= 2×(1261/2187) × 3 = 2×(1261/729) =

= 2522/729 = 3.459533608...

≈ 3.46

How much would it cost to buy x pounds of oranges? If oranges were 1.25$

Answers

Answer:

$20

Step-by-step explanation:

if one ound = 16 ounces then you would do 1.25x16 witch equals $20

If oranges were 1.25$ per pound. then the cost to buy x pounds of oranges would be 1.25x $.

What is the unitary method?

The unitary method is a method for solving a problem by the first value of a single unit and then finding the value by multiplying the single value.

If oranges were 1.25$ per pound. We need to find the cost to buy x pounds of oranges.

The cost of oranges per pound = 1.25$

The cost of oranges x pound = 1.25$ × x

                                                 = 1.25x $

Thus, The cost to buy x pounds of oranges would be 1.25x $.

Range of scores: 100 - 62 = 38

Oulier: 62 => Range without the outlier = 100 - 88 = 12

Interquartile range, IQR, = difference between third quartile and first quartile: IQR = Q3 - Q1

2                      88

3                      89 ---------------   first quartile, Q1 = 89

4                      90

=> IQR = 98 - 89 = 9 : the interquartle range is 9

Quartlies without the outlier:

2                      88

What is the value of x?

Answers

Answer:

x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Altitude- on- Hypotenuse theorem

(leg of large Δ )² = (part of hypotenuse below it ) × ( whole hypotenuse )

x² = 9 × (9 + 16) = 9 × 25 = 225 ( take square root of both sides )

x = [tex]\sqrt{225}[/tex] = 15

Answer:

I did this quickly, so please check the logic.

I find x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

See attached image.  Note that I've defined 3 triangles and their Pythagorean equations.  I also define a third line, RQ, as z.  Rearrange the equations and substitute in a way that allows elimination of all variables except x.

Solve for x by completing the square: x2 - 12x + 11 = 0
A.
(-11,0) and (1,0)
B.
(1,0) and (11,0)
C.
(0,1) and (0,-11)

Answers

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

x² - 12x + 11 = 0 ( subtract 11 from both sides )

x² - 12x = - 11

To complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides

x² + 2(- 6)x + 36 = - 11 + 36

(x - 6)² = 25 ( take square root of both sides )

x - 6 = ± [tex]\sqrt{25}[/tex] = ± 5 ( add 6 to both sides )

x = 6 ± 5

Then

x = 6 - 5 = 1 ⇒ (1, 0 )

x = 6 + 5 = 11 ⇒ (11, 0 )

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-6, -7) and has a
slape of 0?

Answers

Answer:

y=0x-7 or y=-7

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We want to write the equation of the line that passes through the point (-6, -7), but that also has a slope of 0

There are many ways to write the equation of the line; one of the most common ways is to use slope-intercept form, which is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

As we are already given the slope of this line, we can immediately plug it into the equation as m

So substitute 0 as m in the equation:
y=0*x+b

Multiply

y=0x+b

We can also rewrite it as y=b, but for right now, y=0x+b will be helpful for our calculations

We need to find b now.

As the equation passes through the point (-6, -7), we can use it to help solve for b

Substitute -6 as x and -7 as y:

-7=0(-6)+b

Multiply

-7=0+b

Simplify

-7=b

Substitute -7 as b into the equation.

y=0x-7, or y=-7

the angle below the right base in the triangle is corresponding to 98° and are congruent.

right base angle = 180° - 98° = 82° ( adjacent angles on a straight line ) , then

In the diagram, the circle is inscribed in triangle PQR. Find arc EF, FG, and GE.

Answers

Check the picture below.

In essence, the two triangles made by the radii and the twin tangent lines are congruent by SSS or even for right-triangles congruence by LL.

Applying the tangents theorem, the arc measures are:

Arc EG = 140°

Arc EF = 120°

Arc FG = 100°

What is the Tangents Theorem?

The tangents theorem states that a tangent to a circle forms a right angle (90 degrees) at the point of tangency, and also, if two tangents meet at point outside a circle, both tangents are equal.

Using the tangent theorem, we would find the central angles opposite arc EF, FG, and GE which are all the same measure as their central angles.

Let the center of the circle be point O.

m∠EOG = 2[180 - m∠PEG + m∠EOP)] (central angle opposite to arc EG)

Substitute

m∠EOG = 2[180 - 90 + 1/2(40)]

m∠EOG = 140°

Arc EG = m∠EOG = 140°

Arc EG = 140°

m∠EOF= 2[180 - m∠QFO + m∠FQO)] (central angle opposite to arc EF)

Substitute

m∠EOF = 2[180 - 90 + 1/2(60)]

m∠EOF = 120°

Arc EF = m∠EOF = 120°

Arc EF = 120°

m∠FOG = 2[180 - m∠RFO + m∠FRO)] (central angle opposite to arc FG)

Substitute

m∠FOG = 2[180 - 90 + 1/2(80)]

m∠FOG = 100°

Arc FG = m∠FOG = 140°

Arc FG = 100°

Therefore, applying the tangents theorem, the arc measures are:

Arc EG = 140°

Arc EF = 120°

Arc FG = 100°

7 x (3/5) to get 21/35

5 x (30/7) to get 150/35

Now add the two to get 171/35

(150+21=171)

Finally find a common denominator for 35 and 2.

What would the surface area be ?

Answers

Answer:

320.44

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation for right cylinder surface area: 2πrh+2πr^2

Answer:

33π cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

To find surface area you add the area of every face.

Area of the 2 circle faces:

The formula for the area of circle is πr². If the diameter is 6 you divide that by 2 to get a radius of 3. The area of the circle is 9π. Sense the top and bottom are both circles you multiply the area by 2 to get 18π.

Area of side face:

To find the area of the side, it is the same as a rectangle (length [circumference] multiplied by height [2.5]). The forumla for the circumference of a circle is πd. The circumference is 6π so multiply that by the height of 2.5 to get the area of the side of 15π.

Total surface area:

Now add the 18π (area of 2 circle faces) with the 15π (area of side face) to get 33π cm² surface area.
