Since the sixth term is 1215 and the 5th term is 405, we know each term is 3 times more than the last.
Let 'n' represent the first term, then the sum of the first 9 terms can be written as:
n+3n+9n+27n+81n+243n+729n+2187n+6561n
which sinplifies to 9841n
since each term is 3 times the last, the first term must be 405 divided by 3, 4 times in total, which is 5
Now subsitute 'n' for 5, and we get 9841(5)
which is 49205 which is the answer.

Hope this helps

Describe the difference between parallel and perpendicular lines, their slopes and graphs
Aloiza [94]

Parallel lines have the same slopes (but different y intercepts). Parallel lines never cross. Parallel lines are the same distance from each other no matter where you are on either line. Think of it like a pair of perfectly straight railroad tracks.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Perpendicular lines cross at one point. The two lines form a 90 degree angle. The two slopes multiply to -1, which is another way of saying that the slopes are negative reciprocals of one another. For example, a line with a slope of 2/3 and another line with a slope of -3/2 has these two values multiply to -1; therefore showing they are perpendicular lines.

HELP PLEASE :/ math is not my bff
gtnhenbr [62]
1. None of the answer choices are correct, because the length that were to go with those numbers don't fit. The answer is D.

2. One coffee cost $4 and a latte would cost $2.50, because the other prices for a cup of coffee would exceed the price of the total of two coffees plus one latte and three coffees plus two lattes. The answer is A: $4.00.

3. This one has to be A, because you're finding how many nickels and dimes there are together if there are 24 coins. A nickel is 5 cents each and a dime is 10 cents each. The total of them combined is $1.85. The answer is A.

What is the value for y
Klio2033 [76]
Hey there,

I believe but I'm not quite sure, I believe that the correct answer would be 42 because by subtracting 79-37, that should give you y.

Hope this helps. (forgive any errors.)
