\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{sum of a finite geometric sequence}
\\\\
S_n=\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n}\ a_1\cdot r^{i-1}\implies S_n=a_1\left( \cfrac{1-r^n}{1-r} \right)\quad 
\begin{cases}
n=n^{th}\ term\\
a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\
r=\textit{common ratio}
\end{cases}\\\\
-------------------------------

\bf \sum\limits_{i=1}^{5}~\stackrel{a_1}{375}\stackrel{r}{\left( \frac{-1}{5} \right)}^{i-1}\qquad 
\begin{cases}
a_1=375\\
r=-\frac{1}{5}
\end{cases}\implies S_5=375\left( \cfrac{1-\left(  \frac{-1}{5}\right)^5}{1-\left(  \frac{-1}{5}\right)} \right)


\bf S_5=375\left( \cfrac{1-\left( \frac{-1}{3125} \right)}{1+\frac{1}{5}} \right)\implies S_5=375\left( \cfrac{1+\frac{1}{3125}}{1+\frac{1}{5}} \right)
\\\\\\
S_5=375\left( \cfrac{\frac{3126}{3125}}{\frac{6}{5}} \right)\implies S_5=375\left(\cfrac{3126}{3125}\cdot \cfrac{5}{6}\right)\implies S_5=375\left(\cfrac{521}{625}\right)
\\\\\\
S_5=\cfrac{1563}{5}\implies S_5=312\frac{3}{5}

Find the area of the shaded regions. GIve your answer as a completely simplified exact value in terms of pi. (No approximations)
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

A = 27π cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the shaded region = area of full circle of O - Area of the unshaded sector

= (πr²) - (θ/360*πr²)

Where,

r = 6 cm

θ = 360

Area of shaded region = (π*6²) - (90/360*π*6²)

= (36π) - (¼*π*36)

= 36π - 9π

Area of shaded region = 27π cm²

Factor completely
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

B.) 2(5x-4)(x+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

10x^2+2x-8

= 2(5x^2 + x - 4)

= 2(5x^2 + 5x - 4x - 4)

= 2[5x(x + 1) - 4(x + 1)]

= 2(5x-4)(x+1)

The graph represents the normal distribution of recorded weights, in pounds, of cats at a veterinary clinic.
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

The weights within this range are:

8.9

9.5

9.8

10.4


Step-by-step explanation:

The graph represents the normal distribution with a mean of 9.5 and a standard deviation of 0.5. Therefore, the range of the values within 2 standard deviations is:

9.5 - 2(0.5) ≤ x ≤ 9.5 + 2(0.5)

8.5 ≤ x ≤ 10.5
