Answer:

20,176,803

Step-by-step explanation:

This geometric series has a first term of 3 and a common ratio of 21/3 = 7. The formula for the sum of n terms of a series with first term a1 and common ratio r is ...

Sn = a1·(r^n -1)/(r -1)

For a1=3, n=9, and r=7, the sum is ...

S9 = 3·(7^9 -1)/(7 -1) = 3·40353606/6 = 20,176,803

The sum of the first 9 terms is 20,176,803.

_____

The first 9 terms are ...

3 +21 +147 +1029 +7203 +

50,421 +352,947 +2,470,629 +17,294,403

Factor this trinomial completely.

zmey [24]

First you want to write 7x as a sum or difference: 15x-8x
Now, the expression would look like this: 10x^2+15x-8x-12
Next, factor out the 5x and -4 from the expression: 5x(2x+3)-4(2x+3)
Now, factor out the 2x+3 from the expression and you have your answer:
(2x+3)(5x-4)

AveGali [126]

Ok so add all of them together and you get 305 then divide it by how many numbers there are for the mean and you get 61 then add all of the diffrences from each number to the mean and we get 6 then 61 divided by 6 gets us 10.1 but round it to 10. hope this helped.

Gym A is growing faster

Gym A gained 13 members between months 2 and 4

Gym B gained 10 members between months 2 and 4

Step-by-step explanation:

rate of change = (46-20)/(4-2) = 26/2 or 13

Gym B: (2,40) (4,60)

rate of change = (60-40)/(4-2) = 20/2 or 10

HELP ASAP PLZZ

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

The Answer is A. 2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The way i Divide fractions is by if you take the second fraction and swap the numbers around, you can do 7/24 TIMES 48/35. then you multiply the numbers NOT in a crossway like 7 times 35 butin a straight way so its 7 times 48. Doing so will get you 336/840. I simplified this answer by 6 and got 56/140 then i simplified it again by 4 to get 14/35 and once more i simplified it by 7 to get 2/5.
