Ou want to get an oil change every 4,000 miles. How many oil changes do you get in a year driving 1000 miles a month?

1 answer:

5 0

3.

1000 miles per month.
12 months in a year.
1000 × 12 = 12000 miles per year

Oil change every 4000 miles.
12000 ÷ 4000 = 3

Therefore 3 oil changes per year.

Find the sum of the first 8 terms of the series. 1/2 + 1 + 2 + 4

Roman55 [17]

$\bf \cfrac{1}{2}~~,~~\stackrel{2\cdot \frac{1}{2}}{1}~~,~~\stackrel{2\cdot 1}{2}~~,~~\stackrel{2\cdot 2}{4}~~,...$

so as you can see the common ratio is 2, and the first term is 1/2,

$\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{sum of a finite geometric sequence} \\\\ S_n=\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n}\ a_1\cdot r^{i-1}\implies S_n=a_1\left( \cfrac{1-r^n}{1-r} \right)\quad \begin{cases} n=n^{th}\ term\\ a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\ r=\textit{common ratio}\\ ----------\\ r=2\\ a_1=\frac{1}{2}\\ n=8 \end{cases} \\\\\\ S_8=\cfrac{1}{2}\left( \cfrac{1-2^8}{1-2} \right)\implies S_8=\cfrac{1}{2}\left( \cfrac{-255}{-1} \right)\implies S_8=\cfrac{255}{2}$
