Answer:

128

Step-by-step explanation:

As common ratio is 1/4 ; let the first four terms of the geometric series be :

x , 1 / 4 .x , (1 / 4)2 .x , (1 / 4)3 .x or

x , x / 4 , x / 16 and x / 64

Now there sum is 170 , hence

x + x / 4 + x / 16 + x / 64 = 170 or

(64a + 16a + 4a + a ) / 64 = 170 or

85a / 64 = 170

a = 128

Hence first first term of the series is

128

What is 1 and 1/4 minus 3/8?

matrenka [14]

Answer: 7/8

Step-by-step explanation:

You can change all the fractions to have equivalent denominators.

The Least Common Denominator of 1 1/4 and 3/8 is 8. Now we can change the fractions.

1 1/4 = 1 2/8 = 10/8.

3/8 = 3/8.

Now we can subtract. Subtract the numerators of the first fraction from the numerators of the second fraction, and the denominators oft he first fraction to the denominators of the second fraction.

10/8 - 3/8 = 7/8.

Therefore, 1 1/4 - 3/8 = 7/8; the fourth answer.

I don't understand this, I have the answer but I don't know or how to explain my work.

svp [43]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

0.25 = 1/4 = 5/20

0.35 = 35/100 = 7/20

5/20 + 7/20 = 12/20 = 6/10 = 3/5

Suppose r(t)=costi+sintj+3tk represents the position of a particle on a helix, where z is the height of the particle above the g

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

a. The $\vec k$ component tells you the particle's height:

$3t=16\implies t=\dfrac{16}3$

b. The particle's velocity is obtained by differentiating its position function:

$\vec v(t)=\dfrac{\mathrm d\vec r(t)}{\mathrm dt}=-\sin t\,\vec\imath+\cos t\,\vec\jmath+3\,\vec k$

so that its velocity at time $t=\frac{16}3$ is

$\vec v\left(\dfrac{16}3\right)=-\sin\dfrac{16}3\,\vec\imath+\cos\dfrac{16}3\,\vec\jmath+3\,\vec k$

c. The tangent to $\vec r(t)$ at $t=\frac{16}3$ is

$\vec T(t)=\vec r\left(\dfrac{16}3\right)+\vec v\left(\dfrac{16}3\right)t$
