What is the value of the geometric sequence for which a1=10 and r=0.5?

1 answer:

3 0

The formula for an infinite geometric sequence is the following:

$S_{∞}= \frac{a_{1}}{1-r}$

Just substitute the values of $a_{1}$ and r into the formula.

$S_{∞}=\frac{10}{1-0.5}$
$S_{∞}=\frac{10}{0.5}$
$S_{∞}= 20$

Therefore, the answer is 20.

Hi!

To solve this, we must make an equation in y = mx + b form, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Since we are looking at a graph with points, it saves us a TON of work, and all we have to do is simply look at the graph. We only need to find m and b, that's it!

M is the slope, and the slope can be represented by the change between points on a line, also known as rise/run.

If we start at point (-4, -1), and go to point (-2, 0), we can see that it goes up 1 and right 2, which would be represented as 1/2.

B is the y-intercept, and that is simply the point that is on the y-axis, which is the point (0, 1), so our number would be 1.

Therefore, plugging these numbers into the equation, our equation is y = 1/2x + 1

Hope this helps! :D

Which description best compares the graphs given by the equations:

nexus9112 [7]

x - 5y = -5, -5x - 25y = 25

First, you'll need to get the x variable by itself.

x - 5y = -5
 +5 +5
 x = 0
So x is plotted on the 0.

For the second part of the first equation, you'll be looking for what the y variable represents.

x - 5y = -5
-x -x
 -5y = -5
 5 5
 y = 1
So y is plotted on the 1 on the vertical line above the 0.

For the first part of the second equation, you'll do the same thing as in the first equation.

-5x - 25y = 25
 +25 +25
 -5x = 50
 5 5
x = 10
So the x for this equation is plotted on 10 on the horizontal line.

For the second part of the second equation, you will do the same thing as in the first equation.

-5x - 25y = 25
+5 +5
 -25y = 30
 25 25
y = 1.2
So the y for the second half of the second question is plotted on 1.2 on the vertical line.

<h2>Answer: B) Perpendicular</h2>

Perpendicular means the lines may or may not be of equal length and they will not be perfectly in line with each other.

Parallel means the lines may or may not be of equal length but will be perfectly in line with each other.

Intersecting means the lines may or may not be of equal length but will touch each other.

Gas costs $2.05 per gallon. You go on a trip of 150 miles and your car gets 25 miles per gallon. How much will you spend on gas?

Inessa05 [86]

Answer: 12.30 dollars will be spent

Step-by-step explanation: If you go on a trip of 150 miles and each mile is 25 miles per gallon, I divided 150 miles from 25 = 6. Then each gallon cost $2.05 dollars, if we want to know how much will they spend on gas you have to multiply how much per mile and how much it cost. So 2.05 times 6 = 12.30.
