500{ e }^{ -0.12x }=123\\ \\ { e }^{ -\frac { 12 }{ 100 } x }=\frac { 123 }{ 500 } \\ \\ { e }^{ -\frac { 3 }{ 25 } x }=\frac { 123 }{ 500 }

\\ \\ { \left( { e }^{ x } \right)  }^{ -\frac { 3 }{ 25 }  }=\frac { 123 }{ 500 } \\ \\ { e }^{ x }={ \left( \frac { 123 }{ 500 }  \right)  }^{ \frac { 1 }{ -\frac { 3 }{ 25 }  }  }

\\ \\ { e }^{ x }={ \left( \frac { 123 }{ 500 }  \right)  }^{ -\frac { 25 }{ 3 }  }\\ \\ \ln { \left( { \left( \frac { 123 }{ 500 }  \right)  }^{ -\frac { 25 }{ 3 }  } \right)  } =x

\\ \\ x=-\frac { 25 }{ 3 } \ln { \left( \frac { 123 }{ 500 }  \right)  }

\therefore \quad x\approx 11.7

The geometric sequence a i a i ​ a, start subscript, i, end subscript is defined by the formula: a 1 = 8 a 1 ​ =8a, start subscr
frozen [14]

Question:

The geometric sequence ai is defined by the formula: a₁ = 8, aᵢ = aᵢ₋₁(-1.5 ).

Find the sum of the first 20 terms in the sequence. Choose 1 answer:

Answer:

The sun of 20 terms of the progress is -10,637.621536256

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Geometric Sequence

a₁ = 8

aᵢ = aᵢ₋₁(-1.5 )

First, the common ratio needs to be calculated.

The common ratio is the ratio of a term to its previous term.

In other words,

Ratio = 2nd term ÷ 1st term or 3rd term ÷ 2nd term, ...... Etc.

We can calculate the common ratio from aᵢ = aᵢ₋₁(-1.5 ) by dividing both sides by aᵢ₋₁. This gives

aᵢ / aᵢ₋₁ = aᵢ₋₁(-1.5 ) / aᵢ₋₁

aᵢ / aᵢ₋₁ = -1.5

So, the common ratio, r = -1.5

Now that we've had the common ratio and first term to be -1.5 and 8 respectively, the sum of 20 terms can then be calculated using the sum of n terms formula.

Sₙ = a(1 - rⁿ)/(1 - r)

We're making use of this formula because r is less than 1

Where n = 20

a = first term = 8

r = -1.5

By substituting these values; we get

S₂₀ = 8(1 - (-1.5)²⁰)/(1 - (-1.5))

S₂₀ = 8(1 - (-1.5)²⁰)/(1 + 1.5))

S₂₀ = 8(1 - (-1.5)²⁰)/(1 + 1.5))

S₂₀ = 8(1 - (3325.25673008

))/(2.5)

S₂₀ = 8(1 - 3325.25673008

)/(2.5)

S₂₀ = 8(-3324.25673008

)/(2.5)

S₂₀ = -10,637.621536256

S=n(a1+an)/2 gives the partial sum of an arithmetic sequence. What is the formula solved for an?
Veseljchak [2.6K]
S = n(a1 + an)/2
2S = n(a1 + an)
2S = na1 + nan
nan = 2S - na1
an = (2S - n a1)/n

How do I find the perimeter of a triangle with sides 3ft 8in., 2ft 10in., and 4 ft?
Dmitriy789 [7]
Formula for triangle perimeter is: a + b + c. In this scenario we have:

a = 3 feet 8 inches
b = 2 feet 10 inches
c = 4 feet

a + b + c =
= 3 ft + 8 in + 2 ft + 10 in + 4 ft =
= 9 ft + 18 in

We know that 1 foot is 12 inches, so we can simplify the result to this form:

10 ft + 6 in

or:

<u>10.5 feet</u>
