Answer:

The sum is -159964.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the sum of a geometric sequence is,

S_n=\frac{a(1-r^n)}{1-r}\text{ When } |r| < 1

or S_n=\frac{a(r^n-1)}{r-1}\text{ When } |r| > 1

Where, a is the first term of the sequence,

r is the common ratio,

n is the number of terms,

Given, sequence,

–4, 24, –144, …....., up to 7 terms,

Thus, a = - 4

r=\frac{24}{-4}=-6

And, n = 7,

Since, |-6| > 1

Therefore, the sum of the given sequence is,

S_7=\frac{-4((-6)^7-1)}{-6-1}

=\frac{-4(-279936-1)}{-7}

=-\frac{4\times 279937}{7}

=-\frac{1119748}{7}=-159964

Sum of the geometric sequence:
S n = a * ( 1- r^n ) / ( 1 - r )
a = - 4 ( the 1st term of the sequence ),  r = - 6,  n = 7
S 7 = (- 4 ) * ( 1 - ( - 6 )^7 )  / 1 - ( - 6 ) = ( - 4 ) * 279937 / 7 = - 159,964

A solid cylinder of iron whose diameter is 18 cm and height 12 cm is melted and turned into a solid sphere. Find the diameter of
finlep [7]

Answer:

Diameter of sphere = 18 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2>Volume of Cylinder and Sphere:</h2><h3> Cylinder:</h3>

     Diameter = 18 cm

                  r = 18÷ 2 = 9 cm

                 h = 12 cm

\sf \boxed{\bf Volume \ of \ cylinder = \pi r^2h}

                                    = π * 9 * 9 * 12 cm³

<h3>Sphere:</h3>

  \sf \boxed{\text{\bf Volume of sphere = $\dfrac{4}{3} \pi r^3$}}

Solid cylinder is melted and turned into a solid sphere.

Volume of sphere = volume of cylinder

 \sf \dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3 = \pi *9*9*12

      \sf r^{3}= \dfrac{\pi *9*9*12*3}{4*\pi }\\\\  r^{3}=9 * 9 *3 *3\\\\\\r = \sqrt[3]{9*9*9}\\\\ r = 9 \ cm\\\\diameter = 9*2\\\\\boxed{diameter \ of \  sphere = 18 \ cm}

Find the area of the rectangle or square 19 3 km and 38.4 km.
blagie [28]

Answer:

Area of rectangle is 741.12km^2

Area of square is 1474.56km^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for Area of a rectangle= length x breadth

Area = l x b = 19.3 km x 38.4 km (substitute the numbers)

Area = 741 km^2

OR

Area of square = length x length

Area = l x l = 38.4 x 38.4

Area = 1474.56 km^2
