Evaluate the sum of the following finite geometric series.

rjkz [21]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{\dfrac{156}{125}\approx1.2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Method 1:</h3>

$\sum\limits_{n=1}^4\left(\dfrac{1}{5}\right)^{n-1}\\\\for\ n=1\\\\\left(\dfrac{1}{5}\right)^{1-1}=\left(\dfrac{1}{5}\right)^0=1\\\\for\ n=2\\\\\left(\dfrac{1}{5}\right)^{2-1}=\left(\dfrac{1}{5}\right)^1=\dfrac{1}{5}\\\\for\ n=3\\\\\left(\dfrac{1}{5}\right)^{3-1}=\left(\dfrac{1}{5}\right)^2=\dfrac{1}{25}\\\\for\ n=4\\\\\left(\dfrac{1}{5}\right)^{4-1}=\left(\dfrac{1}{5}\right)^3=\dfrac{1}{125}$

$\sum\limits_{n=1}^4\left(\dfrac{1}{5}\right)^{n-1}=1+\dfrac{1}{5}+\dfrac{1}{25}+\dfrac{1}{125}=\dfrac{125}{125}+\dfrac{25}{125}+\dfrac{5}{125}+\dfrac{1}{125}=\dfrac{156}{125}$

<h3>Method 2:</h3>

$\sum\limits_{n=1}^4\left(\dfrac{1}{5}\right)^{n-1}\to a_n=\left(\dfrac{1}{5}\right)^{n-1}\\\\\text{The formula of a sum of terms of a geometric series:}\\\\S_n=a_1\cdot\dfrac{1-r^n}{1-r}\\\\r-\text{common ratio}\to r=\dfrac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}\\\\a_{n+1}=\left(\dfrac{1}{5}\right)^{n+1-1}=\left(\dfrac{1}{5}\right)^n\\\\r=\dfrac{\left(\frac{1}{5}\right)^n}{\left(\frac{1}{5}\right)^{n-1}}\qquad\text{use}\ \dfrac{a^n}{a^m}=a^{n-m}\\\\r=\left(\dfrac{1}{5}\right)^{n-(n-1)}=\left(\dfrac{1}{5}\right)^{n-n+1}=\left(\dfrac{1}{5}\right)^1=\dfrac{1}{5}$

$a_1=\left(\dfrac{1}{5}\right)^{1-1}=\left(\dfrac{1}{5}\right)^0=1$

$\text{Substitute}\ a_1=1,\ n=4,\ r=\dfrac{1}{5}:\\\\S_4=1\cdot\dfrac{1-\left(\frac{1}{5}\right)^4}{1-\frac{1}{5}}=\dfrac{1-\frac{1}{625}}{\frac{4}{5}}=\dfrac{624}{625}\cdot\dfrac{5}{4}=\dfrac{156}{125}$

How far is the point described by the ordered pair (4,5)<br>from the x axis?

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

<h2>The point is 4 units away from the x-axis.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The given ordered pair is (4, 5).

Remember, in a ordered pair, the first number is about the number of units used horizontally, and the second number is about the number of units used vertically.

So, this point is 4 units right side of the origin and 5 units upside of the origin.

Therefore, the point is 4 units away from the x-axis.

Our school has 6 Grade and 786 students. What is the average number of students in each grade

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

The average number of students in each grade is 131 students

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to get this answer, you will divide 786 by 6 because 768 is the number of students in your school and 6 is the number of grades. Once you divided 786 and 6, you should get 131. Hope this helps! :)
