Multiplying is the opposite of dividing, so that's why you multiply it by the reciprocal.
1. 1/4 ÷ 3/8 is equivalent to 1/4 × 8/3
2. 1/3 × 8/3 = ?
3. 1 × 8 = 8
4. 3 × 3 = 9

The sum of the first k terms in the sequence is 118096, find the value of k. The first term is 78732 the common ratio is 1/3.
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

k = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of k terms of a geometric sequence with first term a1 and common ratio r is given by ...

... Sk = a1·(1 -r^k)/(1 -r)

For the given numbers, this is ...

... 118096 = 78732·(1 -(1/3)^k)/(1 -1/3)

Manipulating this to get the term containing k, we have

... 1 -(2/3)(118096/78732) = (1/3)^k

... 1/59049 = (1/3)^k

Taking logarithms, we get

... -log(59049) = -k·log(3)

... log(59049)/log(3) = k = 10

Whats the answer for this <br> 4b²+20b+25
WITCHER [35]
4b²+20b+25=0

Divide everything by 4 

b²+5b+ 6.25=0 

use the quadratic formula 
x= (-b+ or - √b²-4ac) /2a
x= (-5 + or - √5²-4*1*6.25) /2(1)
x= -5/2 so
in this case, b= -5/2
