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

What is the remainder when the polynomial f(x)=3x^3-4x^2+2x+8 is divided by (x-5)

allsm [11]

Answer:

remainder = 290

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{3x^3-4x^2+2x+8}{x-5}$

= 3x² + 11x + 57 + $\frac{290}{x-5}$

quotient = 3x² + 11x + 57 and remainder = 290

brett shaded4/8 of a sheet of notebook paper.Aisha says he shaded 1/2 of the paper. Are the two fractions equivalent?

tankabanditka [31]

Yes, the two fractions are equivalent because you can find a greatest common factor in both the numbers. In this case, the GCF is 4 because it goes into both 4 and 8. Then, you divide each part of the fraction by 4. Then, you get the answer 1/2. Therefore, the fractions are equivalent.
