Answer:

\frac{765}{128}

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that 1st term of a geometric series is 3 and common difference is 1/2 . We are asked to find the sum of 1st 8 terms of the given series.

We will use geometric series formula to solve our given problem.

S_n=\frac{a_1(1-r^n)}{1-r}

Upon substituting our given values in the above formula we will get,

S_8=\frac{3(1-(\frac{1}{2})^8)}{1-\frac{1}{2}}

S_8=\frac{3(1-\frac{1^8}{2}^8)}{\frac{2-1}{2}}

S_8=\frac{3(1-\frac{1}{256})}{\frac{1}{2}}

S_8=\frac{3(\frac{256-1}{256})}{\frac{1}{2}}

S_8=\frac{3(\frac{255}{256})}{\frac{1}{2}}

S_8=3(\frac{255}{256}\times\frac{2}{1})

S_8=3(\frac{255}{128})

S_8=\frac{765}{128}

Therefore, the sum of our given series is \frac{765}{128}.

a right triangle has a base that measures 39 inches and a height that measures 80 inches what is the length of the hypotense
mafiozo [28]
A right triangle has three sides: the two sides that share a vertex are known as the legs, and the other side is known as the hypotenuse.  The legs are known as a and b, while the hypotenuse is c.
The Pythagorean Theorem states the a^2 + b^2 = c^2.  If we plug the numbers into this equation, we will find the length of the hypotenuse.
39^2 + 80^2 = c^2
1521 + 6400 = c^2
7921 = c^2
We have c squared now, but we want to know how much c is equal to.  The square root of c^2 will be our answer.
89 = c
The length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs that measure 39 and 80 inches is 89 inches.
