Geometric Series Assistance

Mathematics
1 answer:
AleksAgata [21]3 years ago
5 0

we have been asked to find the sum of the given geometric series

\sum _{n=1}^4\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{n+1}

A geometric sequence has a constant ratio "r" and is given by

r=\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}

a_n=\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{n+1},\:a_{n+1}=\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{\left(n+1\right)+1}

r=\frac{\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{\left(n+1\right)+1}}{\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{n+1}}=\frac{1}{2}

The first term of the sequence is

a_1=\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{1+1}=\frac{1}{4}

Sum of the sequence is given by the formula

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

Plug in the values we get

S_4=\frac{1}{4}\cdot \frac{1-\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^4}{1-\frac{1}{2}}

On simplification we get

S_4=\frac{15}{32}

Hence sum=\frac{15}{32}

What is true about the completely simplified sum of the polynomials 3x squared y squared minus 2 x y to the power of 5 and negat
12345 [234]

Answer:

The sum is a binomial with a degree of 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find : What is true about the completely simplified sum of the polynomials 3x^2y^2-2xy^5 and -3x^2y^2+3x^4y ?

Solution :

The polynomials  3x^2y^2-2xy^5 and -3x^2y^2+3x^4y ,

The sum of polynomial is given by,

S=3x^2y^2-2xy^5+(-3x^2y^2+3x^4y)

On simplifying , we get,

S=3x^2y^2-2xy^5-3x^2y^2+3x^4y

S=-2xy^5+3x^4y

Therefore, the result obtained is a binomial with a degree of 6.

You plan to put anti-theft devices on each garment in your store. You have 1,320 garments, and it takes an employee 20 seconds t
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

3 hours 40 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that we have 1320 garments and it takes an employee 20 seconds to tag a garment.

1 employee tags one garment in 20 seconds.

So garments tagged by 1 employees in 1 minute will be \frac{60}{20} =3 garments.

2 employees will tag 3*2=6 garments in 1 minute.

To find the total time it will take two employees to tag all the garments we will divide total number of garments by 6.

\text{Time taken by two employees to tag 1320 garments}=\frac{1320}{6}

\text{Time taken by two employees to tag 1320 garments}=220

Therefore, it will take 220 minutes or 3 hours and 40 minutes for 2 employees to tag 1320 garments.
