<h3>Answer:  101/200</h3>

==================================================

Explanation:

Each term multiplied out is of the form 1 - 1/(k^2) which we can write as 1^2 - (1/k)^2

Note we have something in the form a^2 - b^2 with a = 1 and b = 1/k

So  

a^2 - b^2 = (a-b)(a+b)

1^2 - (1/k)^2 = (1 - 1/k)(1 + 1/k)

1^2 - (1/k)^2 = [ (k - 1)/k ] * [ (k + 1)/k ]

----------------

Let P = [ (k - 1)/k ] * [ (k + 1)/k ]  represent the kth term we are dealing with

Then let Q be the term just after term P, so it's the (k+1) term

To form term Q, replace every k with k+1

Q =  [ (k+1 - 1)/(k+1) ] * [ (k+1 + 1)/(k+1) ]

Q = [ k/(k+1) ] * [ (k+2)/(k+1) ]

----------------

Let's multiply P and Q to find out what happens . See figure 1 in the attached images below.

As figure 1 shows, we see that the middle terms cancel out. This will happen when we multiply P*Q*R, where R is the term just after Q. Extend this idea out as far as you want and each time the middle terms will pair up and cancel.

All that's left are the first and last terms, which are

1 - 1/2 = 1/2

and

1 + 1/100 = 101/100

They multiply to 101/200

----------------

Figure 2 (also attached as an image) shows a longer way to do the problem. Basically I expanded out a bunch of terms to multiply, and then show how we have various terms pair up and cancel, in basically the same way as explained above. What's left are the first and last terms 1/2 and 101/100 which multiply to 101/200.

The volume of a triangular prism is 20 cubic mm. If the dimensions were doubled, what would the new
anygoal [31]

Answer:

The new volume will be 160 mm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a triangular prism can be calculated by multiplying the area of the triangular base by the height.

Let’s say we have the base with dimensions a and b, while the height can be h

The volume can be calculated as

V = 1/2 * a * b * h

Now , to answer this question, we shall be choosing arbitrary lengths for a, b and h. Whatever length we shall be choosing , we should make sure that they must be equal to 20 mm^3.

Let’s say we have a as 2mm , b as 4 mm and H as 5 mm

Plugging these into the equation, we surely have our volume as 20 mm^3

Now let’s double these dimensions. Our new dimensions become , 4mm by 8mm by 10mm

Plugging these new values into the equation, we have;

1/2 * 4 * 8 * 10 = 160 mm^3

Thus, our volume is expected to be increased by a factor of 8

Answer:

measure of 1 = 117 degrees

measure of 2 = 63 degrees

<em>*x = 39</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

m1 = 3 x 39 = 117

m2 = 39 + 24 = 63

117 + 63 = 180 degrees

The ratio of boys to girls in band class was 3 to 5. If there were 24 boys. How many girls were in band class?
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

40 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a proportion where x is the number of girls in band class:

\frac{3}{5} = \frac{24}{x}

Cross multiply and solve for x:

3x = 120

x = 40

So, there were 40 girls in band class.
