The common ratio of a geometric series is 3 and the sum of the first 8 terms is 3280.

Mathematics

Answer:

The first term of the geometric series is 1

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are tasked with calculating the first term of a geometric series, given the common ratio, and the sum of the first 8 terms.

Mathematically, the sum of terms in a geometric series can be calculated as;

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

where a is the first term that we are looking for

r is the common ratio which is 3 according to the question

n is the number of terms which is 8

S is the sum of the number of terms which is 3280 according to the question

Plugging these values, we have

3280 = a(3^8 -1)/(3-1)

3280 = a( 6561-1)/2

3280 = a(6560)/2

3280 = 3280a

a = 3280/3280

a = 1

Which of the following functions is quadratic?
zysi [14]
The answer is C. 
The definition of a "quadratic equation" is any equation that has a variable with an unknown value to a power no less than or more than 2. A is not the answer because nothing is to the 2nd power. B, although is to the second power, is simplified into just 4, so it has neither an unknown variable nor power of 2. D is also incorrect because when the 3 is distributed, the equation is just simply 12-3x, which has no power of 2. So C is correct because when the 7x is distributed, you get the equation 7x^2 +21x, which has both a variable with an unknown value and a power of two.

Given; D is the Midpoint of CE / Prove DE =1/2CE
aleksley [76]

Answer:

Check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to make a prove;

Mathematically , since D is the midpoint of CE

Then;

CE = CD + DE

Also, since D splits the line segment into two equal parts as the midpoint, then CD must be equal to DE

I.e CD = DE

Hence, we can express CE as follows;

CE = DE + DE

CE = 2 DE

Divide both sides by 2

CE/2 = DE

Hence; DE = 1/2 CE

How do I work out 2x + 37 = 8x + 7
Setler [38]
You have to make sure that whatever you do to one side, you also do to the other.

2x + 37 = 8x + 7
2x + 37 - 2x = 8x + 7 - 2x
37 = 6x + 7
37 - 7 = 6x + 7 - 7
30 = 6x
30 / 6 = 6x / 6
5 = x
x = 5

Hope this helps! :)
