Answer:

r = 4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

Sum of an infinite geometric series = a / (1 - r)

Givens

Sum = 5*a

a = a

r = ?

Solution

5a = a/(1 - r)                   Divide both sides by a

5a/a = a / (a * (1 - r)       The a's on the right cancel

5 = 1 / (1 - r)                    Multiply both sides by 1 - r

5*(1 - r) = 1*(1 - r)/(1 - r)   The 1 - r s on the right cancel

5*(1 - r) = 1                     Remove the brackets.

5 - 5r = 1                        Subtract 5 from both sides

5-5 - 5r = 1 - 5               Combine

-5r = - 4                          Divide by - 5

r = 4/5

<h2> The answer is very simple add the whole numbers then find the LCM of 3 and 4 which is 12 then multiply 3/4 by 3 which will be 9/12 then multiply 2/3 by 4 which will be 9/12 then we add 9/12 + 8/12 which will equal to 5 17/12 which we can reduce and answer will be 6 5/12 spinach.</h2>

Find dy/dx by implicit differentiation for ycos(x)=xcos(y)
alekssr [168]

Answer:

dy/dx = (cos y + y sin x) / (cos x + x sin y)

Step-by-step explanation:

y cos x = x cos y

y (-sin x) + dy/dx cos x = x (-sin y dy/dx) + cos y

-y sin x + dy/dx cos x = -x sin y dy/dx + cos y

dy/dx (cos x + x sin y) = cos y + y sin x

dy/dx = (cos y + y sin x) / (cos x + x sin y)

gladu [14]

Answer:

$107.38

$91 (the price) multiplied by the percentage 18% (91 x 18 = 1630) (1638/100=16.38 [the tip})

$91 (th original price) + 15.38 (the tip) = $108.38 (final price)
