Answer:

32 chickens and 28 pigs

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a solve the system question. Call C the number of chickens and P the number of pigs. Each chicken and each pig has one head so the first equation is:

C+P=60

Each chicken has 2 legs and each pig has 4 legs so the second equation is:

2C+4P=176

To solve by substitution, first rearrange the first equation to isolate C:

C=60-P

Now substitute that into the second equation and solve for P:

2(60-P)+4P=176\\120-2P+4P=176\\2P=56\\P=28

So there are 28 pigs. Now sub that into either of the original equations. I'll use the first:

C+28=60\\C=32

There are 32 chickens.

Find the sum of the first five terms using the geometric series formula for the sequence 1/2, -1,2,-4…
sammy [17]

The sum of the first five terms is 11/2

<h3>How to determine the sum?</h3>

The series is given as:

1/2, -1,2,-4…

Calculate the common ratio of the series using

r = -4/2

Evaluate

r = -2

The sum is then calculated as:

S_n = a\frac{1 - r^n}{1 - r}

This gives

S_n = \frac{1}{2} * \frac{(1 - (-2)^5}{1 + 2}

Evaluate

S_n = \frac{1}{2} * \frac{33)}{3}

Evaluate

S_n =\frac{11}{2}

Hence, the sum of the first five terms is 11/2
