Two bags with 3 oranges in each bag is the same amount as 3 bags with 2 oranges in each bag. Which property of multiplication do

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

Commutative Property

Step-by-step explanation:

The property of multiplication that is being demonstrated is known as Commutative Property. This property basically shows that when multiplying two numbers the actual order in which they are multiplied does not matter and does not affect the result at all. For example, the in this scenario to get the total number of oranges we have to multiply the number of bags by the number of oranges in each bag, but whatever way we do this they equal the same

2 bags * 3 oranges per bag = 6 oranges

3 bags * 2 oranges per bag = 6 oranges

Therefore,

2 * 3 = 3 * 2

Find the sum of the first 25 terms in this geometric series:<br> 8 + 6 + 4.5...

Ksivusya [100]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the geometric sequence

8 + 6 + 4.5...

A geometric sequence has a constant ratio and is defined by

$a_n=a_1\cdot r^{n-1}$

$\mathrm{Compute\:the\:ratios\:of\:all\:the\:adjacent\:terms}:\quad \:r=\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}$

$\frac{6}{8}=\frac{3}{4},\:\quad \frac{4.5}{6}=\frac{3}{4}$

$\mathrm{The\:ratio\:of\:all\:the\:adjacent\:terms\:is\:the\:same\:and\:equal\:to}$

$r=\frac{3}{4}$

$\mathrm{The\:first\:element\:of\:the\:sequence\:is}$

$a_1=8$

$\mathrm{Therefore,\:the\:}n\mathrm{th\:term\:is\:computed\:by}\:$

$a_n=8\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^{n-1}$

$\mathrm{Geometric\:sequence\:sum\:formula:}$

$a_1\frac{1-r^n}{1-r}$

$\mathrm{Plug\:in\:the\:values:}$

$n=25,\:\spacea_1=8,\:\spacer=\frac{3}{4}$

$=8\cdot \frac{1-\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^{25}}{1-\frac{3}{4}}$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:fractions}:\quad \:a\cdot \frac{b}{c}=\frac{a\:\cdot \:b}{c}$

$=\frac{\left(1-\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^{25}\right)\cdot \:8}{1-\frac{3}{4}}$

$=\frac{8\left(-\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^{25}+1\right)}{\frac{1}{4}}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:exponent\:rule}:\quad \left(\frac{a}{b}\right)^c=\frac{a^c}{b^c}$

$=\frac{8\left(-\frac{3^{25}}{4^{25}}+1\right)}{\frac{1}{4}}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{a}{\frac{b}{c}}=\frac{a\cdot \:c}{b}$

$=\frac{\left(1-\frac{3^{25}}{4^{25}}\right)\cdot \:8\cdot \:4}{1}$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:the\:numbers:}\:8\cdot \:4=32$

$=\frac{32\left(-\frac{3^{25}}{4^{25}}+1\right)}{1}$

$=\frac{32\cdot \frac{4^{25}-3^{25}}{4^{25}}}{1}$ ∵ $\mathrm{Join}\:1-\frac{3^{25}}{4^{25}}:\quad \frac{4^{25}-3^{25}}{4^{25}}$

$=32\cdot \frac{4^{25}-3^{25}}{4^{25}}$

$=\frac{\left(4^{25}-3^{25}\right)\cdot \:32}{4^{25}}$

$=\frac{2^5\left(4^{25}-3^{25}\right)}{2^{50}}$ ∵ $\mathrm{Factor}\:32:\ 2^5$ , $\mathrm{Factor}\:4^{25}:\ 2^{50}$

$=\frac{4^{25}-3^{25}}{2^{45}}$ ∵ $\mathrm{Cancel\:}\frac{\left(4^{25}-3^{25}\right)\cdot \:2^5}{2^{50}}:\quad \frac{4^{25}-3^{25}}{2^{45}}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{a\pm \:b}{c}=\frac{a}{c}\pm \frac{b}{c}$

$=\frac{4^{25}}{2^{45}}-\frac{3^{25}}{2^{45}}$

$=32-\frac{3^{25}}{2^{45}}$ ∵ $\frac{4^{25}}{2^{45}}=32$

$=32-0.024$ ∵ $\frac{3^{25}}{2^{45}}=0.024$

$=31.98$

Therefore, the sum of the first 25 terms in this geometric series: 31.98

Please answer the question in the picture

lorasvet [3.4K]

A loan of $50,000 is taken out for six years at 9% interest compounded annually. If the loan is paid off in full at the end of that time period, $50433 must be returned.

<h3>What is Compound interest?</h3>

Compound interest is calculated by multiplying the initial loan amount, or principal, by one plus the annual interest rate multiplied by the number of compound periods multiplied by one.

Compound interest is when you earn interest on both your savings and your interest earnings. When you compound interest, you add the interest you've earned back into your principal balance, which earns you even more interest, compounding your returns.

Assume you have $1,000 in a savings account earning 5% interest per year. You'd earn $50 in year one, giving you a new balance of $1,050. Compound interest occurs when interest earned on savings begins to earn interest on itself.

Solve x2 + 15x = –56.

Black_prince [1.1K]

15x = 7x + 8x

$x^2+15x=-56\\\\ x^2+15x+56=0\\\\ x^2+7x+8x+56=0\\\\x(x+7)+8(x+7)=0\\\\ (x+7)(x+8)=0 \\\\ x=-7 \ or \ x=-8$
