\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{sum of a finite geometric sequence} \\\\ S_n=\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n}\ a_1\cdot r^{i-1}\implies S_n=a_1\left( \cfrac{1-r^n}{1-r} \right)\quad  \begin{cases} n=n^{th}\ term\\ a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\ r=\textit{common ratio}\\ ----------\\ a_1=2\\ r=8\\ n=4 \end{cases} \\\\\\ S_4=2\left( \cfrac{1-8^4}{1-8} \right)\implies S_4=2\left( \cfrac{-4095}{-7} \right) \\\\\\ S_4=2(585)\implies S_4=1170

If 75% of x is 150, what is the value of x?
vagabundo [1.1K]
I'm not sure if this is correct but you would put it into an equation while you solve for X. so 0.75x=150  or equivalently would be like  (3/4)x=150 Then after that you would divide both sides by 0.75 or 3/4

how do I find the area of an equilateral triangle given the perimeter of 60 and the height of 17.3 cm?
guajiro [1.7K]
If perimeter is 60 so the side is 60 ÷ 3 = 20

Now we can apply the area formula for triangles;

A=\frac{1}{2}.b.h\\
\\
A=\frac{1}{2}.20.17.3=10.17.3=173 \ cm^2

It would be amazing if u helped me with the question below, thx! <3
tekilochka [14]

namely, how many times does 4 x 10⁻³ go into 8 x 10⁶.


\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{negative exponents}\\\\a^{-n} \implies \cfrac{1}{a^n}\qquad \qquad\cfrac{1}{a^n}\implies a^{-n}\qquad \qquad a^n\implies \cfrac{1}{a^{-n}}\\\\-------------------------------\\\\\cfrac{\stackrel{elephant}{8\times 10^6}}{\stackrel{ant}{4\times 10^{-3}}}\implies \cfrac{8}{4}\times \cfrac{10^6}{10^{-3}}\implies 2\times 10^6\cdot 10^3\\\\\\2\times 10^{6+3}\implies 2.0\times 10^9
