Answer:

250

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the terms of a geometric series is given by the formula ...

Sn = a1×(1 -r^n)/(1 -r)

sum of n terms for first term a1 and common ratio r.

<h3>series sum</h3>

The given series has first term a1 = 150, and common ratio r = 60/150 = 2/5. Putting these values into the formula gives a sum of 7 terms that is ...

S7 = 150×(1 -(2/5)^7)/(1 -2/5) = 150((77997/78125)/(3/5))

S7 = 150×(25999/15625) = 249.5904

Rounded to the nearest integer, the sum of the first 7 terms is 250.

A geometric series is the collection of an unlimited number of terms with a fixed ratio between them. The sum of the first seven terms of the series is 249.

<h3>What is geometrical series?</h3>

A geometric series is the collection of an unlimited number of terms with a fixed ratio between them.

The given series is an geometric series, the details of the series are:

a₁ = 150

r = 60/150 = 0.4

n = 7

The sum of the geometric series is,

S = 150(1-0.4⁶)/(1-0.4)

S = 248.976 ≈ 249

Hence, the sum of the first seven terms of the series is 249.

What is the factored form of the expression?<br><br> d^2 = 36d + 324

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

$(x-43.45)(x+7.45)=0$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the quadratic equation $d^{2}=36d+324$ i.e. $d^{2}-36d-324=0$

As, the roots of the quadratic equation $ax^{2}+bx+c=0$ are given by $x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}$ .

So, from the given equation, we have,

a = 1, b = -36 , c = -324.

Substituting the values in $x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}$ , we get,

$x=\frac{36\pm \sqrt{(-36)^{2}-4\times 1\times (-324)}}{2\times 1}$

i.e. $x=\frac{36\pm \sqrt{1296+1296}}{2}$

i.e. $x=\frac{36\pm \sqrt{2592}}{2}$

i.e. $x=\frac{36\pm 50.9}{2}$

i.e. $x=\frac{36+50.9}{2}$ and $x=\frac{36-50.9}{2}$

i.e. $x=\frac{86.9}{2}$ and $x=\frac{-14.9}{2}$

i.e. x = 43.45 and x = -7.45

Thus, the roots of the equation are 43.45 and -7.45.

Hence, the factored form of the given expression will be $(x-43.45)(x+7.45)=0$
