Answer: 2343 / 256

Explanation

I will do this for you in two forms: 1) adding each term, and 2) using the general formula for the sum of geometric series.

1) Adding the terms:

 4
∑ 3 (3/4)^i = 3 (3/4)^0 + 3 (3/4)^1 + 3 (3/4)^2 + 3 (3/4)^3 + 3 (3/4)^4
i=0

= 3 + 9/4 + 27/16 + 81/64 + 243/256 = [256*3 + 27*16 + 64*9 + 4*81 + 243] / 256 =

= 2343 / 256

2) Using the formula:

n-1
∑ A (r^i) = A [1 - r^(n) ] / [ 1 - r]
i=0

Here n - 1 = 4 => n = 5

r = 3/4

A = 3

Therefore the sum is 3 [ 1 - (3/4)^5 ] / [ 1 - (3/4) ] =

= 3 [ 1 - (3^5) / (4^5) ] / [ 1/4 ] = 3 { [ (4^5) - (3^5) ] / (4^5) } / {1/4} =

= (3 * 781) / (4^5) / (1/4) =  3 * 781 / (4^4) = 2343 / 256

So, no doubt, the answer is 2343 / 256

Step-by-step explanation:

Since line NL is not necessarily congruent to MQ (labelled with different congruent marks), triangle NLM is not congruent to triangle MQP.

Instead, triangles NLM and QPM are congruent.

The function f(x) = (x − 4)(x − 2) is shown. What is the range of the function?
leonid [27]

The range of the quadratic function is [-1, ∞) after plotting the function on the coordinate plane.

<h3>What is a function?</h3>

It is defined as a special type of relationship, and they have a predefined domain and range according to the function every value in the domain is related to exactly one value in the range.

It is given that:

The function is:

f(x) = (x - 4)(x - 2)

The above function is a quadratic function.

The above function can be written as:

f(x) = x² - 6x + 8

From the graph,

The minimum value of graph at x = 3 is y = -1

The range of the function is [-1, ∞)

Thus, the range of the quadratic function is [-1, ∞) after plotting the function on the coordinate plane.
