The sum of the sum notation ∞Σn=1 2(1/5)^n-1 is S= 5/2

<h3>How to determine the sum of the notation?</h3>

The sum notation is given as:

∞Σn=1 2(1/5)^n-1

The above notation is a geometric sequence with the following parameters

Initial value, a = 2
Common ratio, r = 1/5

The sum is then calculated as

S = a/(1 - r)

The equation becomes

S = 2/(1 - 1/5)

Evaluate the difference

S = 2/(4/5)

Express the equation as products

S = 2 * 5/4

Solve the expression

S= 5/2

Hence, the sum of the sum notation ∞Σn=1 2(1/5)^n-1 is S= 5/2

What is x2 – 6 = 16x + 30 rewritten in standard form, then factored?

AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

The standard form of quadratic equation is $x^2-16x-36=0$

The factored form of $x^2-16x-36=0$ is $(x+2)(x-18)=0$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation $x^2-6=16x+30$

We have to write in standard form and then factorize the given equation.

The standard form for a general quadratic equation is given as $ax^2+bx+c=0$

Consider $x^2-6=16x+30$

Taking all terms to left side, we have,

$x^2-6-16x-30=0$

Adding like terms, we have,

$x^2-16x-36=0$

Now we will factorize it.

We will solve the quadratic equation $x^2-16x-36=0$ using middle term splitting method,

-16x can be written as -18x+2x

$x^2-16x-36=0$ becomes

$\Rightarrow x^2-18x+2x-36=0$

Taking x common from first two terms and 2 common from last two terms we have,

$\Rightarrow x(x-18)+2(x-18)=0$

$\Rightarrow (x+2)(x-18)=0$

Thus, the factored form of $x^2-16x-36=0$ is $(x+2)(x-18)=0$

You roll 4 fair, distinguishable, six-sided dice. What is the probability of rolling :______

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

a)0.25

b)0.375

Step-by-step explanation:

Possible outcomes when dice are rolled : 1 ,2 ,3,4,5 ,6

Even= 2,4,6

Odd = 1 ,3 , 5

Probability of getting even = $\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}$

Probability of getting odd = $\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}$

4 dices are rolled together

a)P(3 even and 1 odd numbers)

P(3 even and 1 odd numbers)= $^4C_3 (\frac{1}{2})^3 (\frac{1}{2})^1$

P(3 even and 1 odd numbers)= $\frac{4!}{3!1!} (\frac{1}{2})^3 (\frac{1}{2})^1 =0.25$

b)P(2 even and 2 odd numbers)

P(2 even and 2 odd numbers)= $^4C_2 (\frac{1}{2})^2 (\frac{1}{2})^2$

P(3 even and 1 odd numbers)= $\frac{4!}{2!2!} (\frac{1}{2})^2 (\frac{1}{2})^2$ =0.375
