Answer:

C) 65535.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : sequence 3, 12, 48, ...if there are 8 terms.

To find : What is the sum of the geometric sequence.

Solution : We have given that 3, 12, 48, ......

We need to find 8th term of sequence.

Geometric ratio (r) = \frac{a_{2}}{a_{1} }

r =  \frac{12}{3}.

r = 4.

Sum = a_{1} \frac{(1-r^{n})}{1-r}

Then,

S_{8} =  3 \frac{(1-4^{8})}{1-4}.

S_{8}  =  \frac{-196605}{-3}.

 S_{8}  = 65535.

Therefore, C) 65535.

Find the radius of a circle with circumference of 45.84 meters. Use 3.14
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

3.8 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the circumference for a circle, we use the formula π(radius)²

The circumference give is 45.84 and the π given is 3.14

All we have to do is to just substitute them.

45.84 = 3.14(radius)²

45.84 / 3.14 = radius²

14.6 = radius²

radius = √14.6

radius = 3.82 ≅ 3.8

what is the inverse of h(x)=12e^2x. based on your answer write an expression write an expression equivalent to where x is h of 1
dezoksy [38]
Let y = 12 e^2x

e^2x = y/12
Taking [email protected]
ln e^2x = ln (y/12)

2x = ln (y/12)

x = (1/2) ln (y / 12)

so the inverse h-1(x)  = (1/2) ln ( x / 12)
