Answer:  The correct option is (B) 2044.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the sum of a 9-term geometric sequence when the first term is 4 and the last term is 1,024.

We know that

the n-th term of a geometric sequence with first term a and common ratio r is given by

a_n=ar^{n-1}.

According to the given information, we have

a=4

and

ar^{9-1}=1024\\\\\Rightarrow 4\times r^8=1024\\\\\Rightarrow r^8=\dfrac{1024}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow r^8=256\\\\\Rightarrow r^8=2^8\\\\\Rightarrow r=2.

Therefore, the sum of the 9-term geometric sequence is given by

S_9\\\\\\=\dfrac{a(r^9-1)}{r-1}\\\\\\=\dfrac{4\times(2^9-1)}{2-1}\\\\\\=\dfrac{4\times(512-1)}{1}\\\\=4\times511\\\\=2044.

Thus, the required sum of the 9-term sequence is 2044.

Option (B) is CORRECT.

192 = total beads

necklace + bracelet = 192

Let x equal the number of beads 

bracelet = 5x
necklace = x

5x + x = 192 

6x = 192

x = 32

It takes 32 beads to make a necklace

Due to weather mark walk to school day of the 20 days in february what would be the fraction representation for the number of da
nekit [7.7K]

Tbe question doesn't state the number of days he walked to school out of 20 school days in the

Month of February.

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

To. Obtain the fractional representayion for the number of days he walked to school ;

Let the number of days he walked to school = 10 (this is an hypothesized value)

Number of school days in February = 20

Fraction = 10 /20 = 0.5

The percentage of times walked to school : multiply the fraction obtained above by 100%

0.5 * 100% = 50%

Just put the desired value and proceed uSing the steps described above.

Solve this equation<br>5(-7x-3)- 8x=-230​
Brut [27]

Simplifying

5(7x + -3) = 230

Reorder the terms:

5(-3 + 7x) = 230

(-3 * 5 + 7x * 5) = 230

(-15 + 35x) = 230

Solving

-15 + 35x = 230

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '15' to each side of the equation.

-15 + 15 + 35x = 230 + 15

Combine like terms: -15 + 15 = 0

0 + 35x = 230 + 15

35x = 230 + 15

Combine like terms: 230 + 15 = 245

35x = 245

Divide each side by '35'.

x = 7

Simplifying

x = 7
