Hello, Marymack!


We know that in a geometric sequence defined by \mathsf{a_1} and \mathsf{r} , the sum can be calculated the following way:

\mathsf{S_n = \dfrac{a_1}{1-r}}\\ \\ \\ \\ \mathsf{S_n = \dfrac{0.3}{1-0.55}}\\ \\ \\ \mathsf{S_n = \dfrac{0.3}{0.45}}\\ \\ \\ \boxed{\mathsf{S_n = \dfrac{2}{3}=0.666...}}

Answer:

The sum of the infinite geometric sequence is given by:

S_{\infty} = \frac{a_1}{1-r}          ....[1]

where,

a_1 is the first term

r is the common ratio.

As per the statement:

Given that a_1 = 0.3 and r = 0.55

To find the sum of this infinite geometric series.

Substitute the given values in [1] we have;

S_{\infty} = \frac{0.3}{1-0.55}

⇒S_{\infty} = \frac{0.3}{0.45}

Simplify:

S_{\infty} \approx 0.67

Therefore,  the sum of this infinite geometric series approximate is, 0.67

Write the number 1/10,000,000 as a power of 10 using a negative exponents
allochka39001 [22]

First, convert into a decimal:

1/10,000,000 = 0.00000001

Next, convert to "the number with a power of 10 using a negative exponent. Move the decimal point to the first <em>number that is not 0</em> (sorry, there is a term for it, but i can't remember it right now, but it is not important to solving the answer)

0.000001 = 1 * 10^-7

1 * 10^-7 is your answer

Given that(4,6) is on the graph of f(x) find the corresponding point for the function f(-4x)
Len [333]

Answer:

(-1,6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that(4,6) is on the graph of f(x)

f(-4x) means x is multiplied by -4

When x is multiplied by -1  then there will be reflection over y axis

We multiply every point by -1. so multiply the x values of the given point (4,6) by -1

New point is (-4,6)

If any number is multiplied with x then there will be a horizontal compression or stretch.

4 is multiplied with x , so there will be horizontal compression because 4 is greater than 1

To get new point, we divide the x values by 4 for compression

we already got (-4,6) after multiplying by -1

Now we divide the x coordinate -4 by 4 = -1

So corresponding point for the function f(-4x) is (-1,6)
