How many terms are there in a geometric series if the first term is 4, the common ration is 3 and the sum of the series is 160

Marina CMI [18]

$\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{sum of a finite geometric sequence}
\\\\
S_n=\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n}\ a_1\cdot r^{i-1}\implies S_n=a_1\left( \cfrac{1-r^n}{1-r} \right)\quad 
\begin{cases}
n=n^{th}\ term\\
a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\
r=\textit{common ratio}\\
----------\\
a_1=4\\
r=3\\
S_n=160
\end{cases}$

$\bf 160=4\left( \cfrac{1-3^n}{1-3} \right)\implies 160=4\left( \cfrac{1-3^n}{-2} \right)\implies 160=-2(1-3^n)
\\\\\\
160=2(3^n-1)\implies \cfrac{160}{2}=3^n-1\implies 80=3^n-1
\\\\\\
81=3^n~~
\begin{cases}
81=3\cdot 3\cdot 3\cdot 3\\
\qquad 3^4
\end{cases}\implies 3^4=3^n\implies 4=n$

ed is using the recipe shown to make fruit salad he wants to use 30 diced stawberries in his vruit sald how many bananas apples

Leya [2.2K]

We know that 1 serving = 4 bananas
3 apples
6 pears
and 20 strawberrys
To get 30 we need to half 20 =10 20+10=30

That means we also needs to half the other ones
1/2 of 4 = 2 4+2=6
1/2 of 3 = 1.5 3+ 1.5=4.5
1/2 of 6 = 3 6+3=9

6 Bananas
4.5 Apples
9 Pears
30 strawberries diced.
