0.737373...=0.73+0.73(0.01)+0.73(0.01)²+0.73(0.01)³...

=\Sigma_{n=1}^\infty 0.73(0.01)^{n-1}

The sum is 73/99.

We start out with
0.737373... = 0.73 + 0.0073 + 0.000073 + 0.00000073 + ...

This is the same as
0.737373... = 0.73 + 0.73(0.01) + 0.73(0.0001) + 0.73(0.000001) + ...

Which is the same as
0.737373... = 0.73 + 0.73(0.01) + 0.73(0.01)² + 0.73(0.01)³ + ...

The term number, n, relates to the exponent; when n = 2, the exponent is 1; when n = 3, the exponent is 2; etc.  This means the exponent is represented by n-1 in our series.

To find the sum, we see first that it is convergent because r = 0.01 < 1.  We can find the sum using 
a/(1-r), where a is the first term, 0.73:
0.73/(1-0.01) = 0.73/0.99 = 73/99

Answer:

Here we have two inequalities.

P is price of the gallon,we have that:

$2.40 ≤ P ≤ $2.65

C is the amount of gallons that Ricardo buys each week.

8,5 ≤ C ≤ 11

Now, with this you can find the maximum and minimum amount that he can spend on a week.

The minimum is when he buys only 8.5 gallons and the price per gallon is $2.40

Cost = 8.5*$2.40 = $20.4

The maximum cost is when he buys 11 gallons, and the price of the gallon is $2.65

Cost = 11*$2.65 = $29.15

So the amount that he spends per week in gas, S, is:

$20.4 ≤ S ≤  $29.15

18. Write an expression to represent the area of the shaded region in simplest form. Please help it's due tomorrow
IgorC [24]

Answer:

(x^2 + 2x - 21) sq units

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the shaded region = Area of the larger rectangle - Area of smaller rectangle

Area of the larger region = x(x+2)

Area of the larger region =x^2 + 2x

Area of the smaller rectangle = 3 * 7

Area of the smaller rectangle = 21 sq. units

Area of the shaded region = x^2 + 2x - 21

Hence the required expression is (x^2 + 2x - 21) sq units

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

-2x² + 4x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

(1-8x²+3x)+(1+6x²+x)

= 1 - 8x² + 3x + 1 + 6x² + x

= -2x² + 4x + 2  [-2(x² - 2 - 1)]
