What is the S5 for 1000+ 500+250+...

Mathematics
1 answer:
Roman55 [17]3 years ago
5 0

I'm guessing we have

S1 = 1000

S2 = 1000 + 500

S3 = 1000 + 500 + 250

S4 = 1000 + 500 + 250 + 125

S5 = 1000 + 500 + 250 + 125 + 62.5

Just adding that up, S5 is

Answer: 1937.5

Do they want you to use the geometric series formula?  We'll check it that way.

We have first term a=1000 and common ratio r=1/2.  In general

S_n = \dfrac{a(1 - r^n)}{1-r}

For us that's

S5 = (1000 (1 - (1/2)^5))/(1 - 1/2) = 2000(1 - 1/32)

                        = 2000(31)/32 = 62000/32 = 1937.5     √

Math works!

If 5x - 3y = 1 and x = 2y - 4, then x • y = ?
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

x = 2,  y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

i) It is given that 5x - 3y =1

ii) It is also given that x = 2y - 4

iii) we can substitute the value of x from ii) in the equation in i) and we will get 5(2y - 4) - 3y = 1   ⇒ 10y - 20 -3y =  1   ⇒  7y = 21  ∴ y = 3

iv) substituting the value of y obtained in ii) we get x = (2 × 3) - 4 = 6 - 4 = 2.

v) Therefore x = 2.
