We happen to have

\dfrac17 = \dfrac18 + \dfrac1{8^2} + \dfrac1{8^3} + \cdots

which is to say, the base-8 representation of 1/7 is

\dfrac17 \equiv 0.111\ldots_8

This follows from the well-known result on geometric series,

\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^\infty ar^{n-1} = \frac a{1-r}

if |r|. With a=1 and r=\frac18, we have

\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac1{8^{n-1}} = 1 + \frac18 + \frac1{8^2} + \frac1{8^3} + \cdots \\\\ \implies \frac1{1-\frac18} = 1 + \frac18 + \frac1{8^2} + \frac1{8^3} + \cdots \\\\ \implies \frac87 = 1 + \frac18 + \frac1{8^2} + \frac1{8^3} + \cdots \\\\ \implies \frac17 = \frac18 + \frac1{8^2} + \frac1{8^3} + \cdots

Uniformly multiplying each term on the right by an appropriate power of 2, we have

\dfrac17 = \dfrac2{16} + \dfrac{2^2}{16^2} + \dfrac{2^3}{16^3} + \dfrac{2^4}{16^4} + \dfrac{2^5}{16^5} + \dfrac{2^6}{16^6} + \cdots

Now observe that for n\ge4, each numerator on the right side side will contain a factor of 16 that can be eliminated.

\dfrac{2^n}{16^n} = \dfrac{2^4\times2^{n-4}}{16^n} = \dfrac{2^{n-4}}{16^{n-1}}

That is,

\dfrac{2^4}{16^4} = \dfrac1{16^3}

\dfrac{2^5}{16^5} = \dfrac2{16^4}

\dfrac{2^6}{16^6} = \dfrac4{16^5}

etc. so that

\dfrac17 = \dfrac2{16} + \dfrac4{16^2} + \dfrac9{16^3} + \dfrac2{16^4} + \dfrac4{16^5} + \dfrac9{16^6} + \cdots

and thus the base-16 representation of 1/7 is

\dfrac17 \equiv 0.249249249\ldots_{16}

and the first 10 digits after the (hexa)decimal point are {2, 4, 9, 2, 4, 9, 2, 4, 9, 2}.

A 14 inch pizza (diameter is 14) was cut in to 8 pieces. What is the angle measure of each slice? *
Luda [366]

Answer:

The angle for each slice is 45 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate the angle of each slice, we first need to calculate the total area of the pizza, because we will use that to find the area of each slice and as a result it's angle. To calculate the area of the pizza we must use:

pizza area = pi*r²

r = d / 2 = 14 /2 = 7 inches

pizza area = pi*(7)² = 153.86 square inches

Since the pizza was divided in 8 pieces, the area of each piece is given by the area of the pizza divided by the number of slices. We have:

slice area = pizza area  / 8 = 153.86 / 8 =19.2325 square inches

Each slice is a circle sector, therefore it's area is given by:

slice area = (angle*pi*r²)/360

Therefore we can solve for angle:

19.2325 = (angle*pi*7²)/360

angle*pi*49 = 6923.7

angle = 6923.7 / pi*49 = 45 degrees

The angle for each slice is 45 degrees.

Judy pays $29 for 8 gallons of gas and 2 bottles of water. Carmen pays $45 for 12 gallons of gas and 4 bottles of water. How muc
Dmitry [639]
G=gas
w=bottle of water

8g + 2w = 29
12g + 4w = 45
I'm going to use elimination to cancel out the variable w by multiplying the first equation by -2.

-16g - 4w = -58
12g + 4w = 45
-4g = -13
/-4 /-4
g = 3.25

Now plug it into an equation, any equation.
8 (3.25) + 2w = 29
26 +2w=29
w=1.5
Now to check, plug it into both equations if you want.

12 (3.25) + 4 (1.5)=45
39 + 6=45

One bottle of water is $1.50, while one gallon of gas is $3.25.
