Mathematics

Zinaida [17]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

12.496

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, to calculate the sum of the first five terms of the series, we use the formula for the sum of terms in a geometric series.

Mathematically, that would be;

Sn = a(1-r^n)/1-r

where Sn = ?

a = 10

r = 1/5 = 0.2

n = 5

Substituting these values into the equation above, we have;

Sn = 10(1-(0.2)^5)/1-0.2

Sn = 10(0.99968)/0.8

Sn = 12.496

Jay sells 10 packs of apples for 80p. He wants to make £75 at the end of the year. How many packs of apples does he need to sell
ipn [44]

Answer:

937.5 packs of apples

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that:

100p = £1

80p = x

Cross Multiply

100x = 80p × £1

x = 80/100

x = £0.8

Jay sells 10 packs of apples for 80p.

Hence:

£0.8 = 10 packs of apples

£75 = x

Cross Multiply

£0.8 × x = £75 × 10 Packs

x = £75 × 10 Packs/£0.8

x = 937.5

Therefore, to make £75 at the end of the year, he has to sell 937.5 packs of apples

Sketch a graph that is discrete, has a maximum, does not pass through the origin, and is an absolute value function
Stella [2.4K]
Um.. I can't sketch a graph on here.
A discrete function can't be an absolute value function because an absolute value function is continuous. But, the function equation can be as simple as
f(x) = - | x + 1 |
Just don't connect the dots when you draw it and boom, you're done.
