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

Find the mean of this data set: {– 78, -12, 3, – 44}
blagie [28]

Answer:

<u>Answer</u><u>:</u><u> </u><u>A</u><u>.</u><u> </u><u>-</u><u>3</u><u>2</u><u>.</u><u>7</u><u>5</u>

\dashrightarrow{ \tt{mean =  \frac{ \sum f(n)}{n} }} \\

• f(n) are the values of the set

• n is the number of items

\dashrightarrow \: { \tt{mean =  \frac{ - 78 + ( - 12) + 3 + ( - 44)}{4} }} \\  \\  \dashrightarrow \: { \tt{ \frac{ - 131}{4} }} \\  \\  \dashrightarrow \: { \boxed{ \tt{mean =  - 32.75}}}

hammer [34]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

To find the volume of a cylinder, you multiply the base by the height.

First, we find the base. The base is a circle. To find the area of a circle, you square the radius and multiply it by pi (we will use 3.14). The radius is half the diameter.

6.5/2=3.25

We square this.

3.25²=10.5625

And multiply by 3.14

10.5625(3.14)=33.16625

Now we multiply this by the height.

33.16625(12)=397.995

Therefore, the volume of this silo is 397.995 cubic meters.

Have a wonderful day! :D
