Let's assume a the age of Joe
b the age of James
a=b+10 (1)
2*(a+8)=3(b+8) (2)

==> 2*(b+10+8)=3b+24
==>2b+36=3b+24
==>b=12
==>a=12+10=22
Joe is 22 years's old
James is 12 years's old.

What is the value of the sum of all the terms of the geometric series 300, 60, 12, …?
ruslelena [56]
<h3>Answer:   375</h3>

=========================================

Work Shown:

a = 300 = first term

r = 60/300 = 0.2 = common ratio

We multiply each term by 0.2, aka 1/5, to get the next term.

Since -1 < r < 1 is true, we can use the infinite geometric sum formula below

S = a/(1-r)

S = 300/(1-0.2)

S = 300/0.8

S = 375

----------

As a sort of "check", we can add up partial sums like so

  • 300+60 = 360
  • 300+60+12 = 360+12 = 372
  • 300+60+12+2.4 = 372+2.4 = 374.4
  • 300+60+12+2.4+0.48 = 374.4+0.48 = 374.88

and so on. The idea is that each time we add on a new term, we should be getting closer and closer to 375. I put "check" in quotation marks because it's probably not the rigorous of checks possible. But it may give a good idea of what's going on.

----------

Side note: If the common ratio r was either r < -1 or r > 1, then the terms we add on would get larger and larger. This would mean we don't approach a single finite value with the infinite sum.

Suppose the temperature outside is dropping 3 degrees each hour how much will the temperature drop in 8 hours
vovikov84 [41]
It would drop by 24 degrees

3 x 8 = 24

For each hour another long way is simple just do

3 x 4 = 12 now just double it
12 + 12 = 24

The director of admissions at Kinzua University in Nova Scotia estimated the distribution of student admissions for the fall sem
Naily [24]

Answer: 1406

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Table :

Admissions   Probability

1,040                0.3

1,320                0.2

1,660                0.5

Now, the expected number of admissions for the fall semester is given by :-

E(x)=p_1x_1+p_2x_2+p_3x_3\\\\\Rightarrow\ E(x)=0.3\times1040+0.2\times1320+0.5\times1660\\\\\Rightarrow\ E(x)=1406

Hence, the expected number of admissions for the fall semester = 1406
