Sigma 960(1/4)^(i-1)

Since r^2<1, the sum is convergent and has a value of

960/(1-1/4)

960/(3/4)

4(960)/3

1280

<h2>Answer:</h2>

         The answer is:

Sigma 960 (1/4)^i-1 ;    the sum is 1280

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

We are given the first term of the geometric sequence as:

a_1=960

Also, the common ratio of the terms in geometric sequence is: \dfrac{1}{4}

We know that if the series is a geometric series than the sum of the terms is given by:

a+ar+ar^2+.....\\\\=a(1+r+r^2+....)\\\\=\sum ar^{n-1}

where a is the first term of the series and r is the common difference.

Here a=960

and r=1/4

Hence,

The sum of the series is:

=\sum 960(\dfrac{1}{4})^{i-1}

Now we know that the sum of the infinite geometric series is given by:

S=\dfrac{a}{1-r}

where S is the sum of the series.

Hence, here the sum of the series is calculated by:

S=\dfrac{960}{1-\dfrac{1}{4}}\\\\\\S=\dfrac{960}{\dfrac{3}{4}}\\\\\\S=\dfrac{960\times 4}{3}\\\\\\S=1280

Hence, the sum is:   1280

What is the total surface area
Stels [109]

We have two right triangles and three different rectangles.

The formula of an area of a right triangle:

A_T=\dfrac{1}{2}l_1l_2

l₁, l₂ - legs

We have l₁ = 20cm and l₂ = 21cm. Substitute:

A_T=\dfrac{1}{2}(20)(21)=(10)(21)=210\ cm^2

The formula of an area of a rectangle:

A_R=lw

l - length

w - width

We have:

rectangle #1: l = 22cm, w = 29cm

A_{R1}=(22)(29)=638\ cm^2

rectangle #2: l = 22cm, w = 21cm

A_{R2}=(22)(21)=462\ cm^2

rectangle #3: l = 22cm, w = 20cm

A_{R3}=(22)(20)=440\ cm^2

The total Surface Area of the triangular prism:

S.A.=2A_T+A_{R1}+A_{R2}+A_{R3}\\\\S.A.=2\cdot210+638+462+440=1960\ cm^2

When solving for the value x in the equation 4(x-1) +6= 18, aaron wrote the following lines on the board:
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

The Distributive Property.

Step-by-step explanation:

4(x - 1) = 12

When distributing out the 4, it must go to all the terms within the brackets like this:

4x - 4 = 12.

4x = 16

x = 4.

2m+n=7<br> 4m+3n=-10<br> Solve using substitution method
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

m=31/2, n=-24. (31/2, -24).

Step-by-step explanation:

2m+n=7

4m+3n=-10

-------------------

n=7-2m

4m+3(7-2m)=-10

4m+21-6m=-10

-2m=-10-21

-2m=-31

2m=31

m=31/2

2(31/2)+n=7

31+n=7

n=7-31

n=-24
