It's a geometric sequence.

300, 150, 75,... \\ \\ a_1=300 \\ r=\frac{a_2}{a_1}=\frac{150}{300}=\frac{1}{2} \\ \\ S_n=\frac{a_1 (1-r^n)}{1-r} \\ \Downarrow \\ S_5=\frac{300(1-(\frac{1}{2})^5)}{1-\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{300(1-\frac{1}{32})}{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{300 \times \frac{31}{32}}{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{75 \times \frac{31}{8}}{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{\frac{2325}{8}}{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{2325}{8} \times 2= \\
=\frac{2325}{4}=581 \frac{1}{4}=581.25

The answer is 581.25.

we have that

300 + 150 + 75 +...

Let

a1=300\\ a2=150\\ a3=75

we know that

\frac{a2}{a1} =\frac{150}{300} \\\\ \frac{a2}{a1}=0.5 \\ \\ a2=a1*0.50

\frac{a3}{a2} =\frac{75}{150} \\\\ \frac{a3}{a2}=0.5 \\ \\ a3=a2*0.50

so

a(n+1)=an*0.50

Is a geometric sequence

Find the value of a4

a(4)=a3*0.50

a(4)=75*0.50

a(4)=37.5

Find the value of a5

a(5)=a4*0.50

a(5)=37.5*0.50

a(5)=18.75

Find S5

S5=a1+a2+a3+a4+a5\\ S5=300+150+75+37.5+18.75\\ S5=581.25

therefore

the answer is

581.25

Alternative Method

Applying the formula

S_n=\frac{a_1 (1-r^n)}{1-r} \\\\a_1=300 \\ r=\frac{1}{2}\\\\ S_5=\frac{300(1-(\frac{1}{2})^5)}{1-\frac{1}{2}}\\\\=\frac{300(1-\frac{1}{32})}{\frac{1}{2}}\\\\=\frac{300 \times \frac{31}{32}}{\frac{1}{2}}\\\\=\frac{75 \times \frac{31}{8}}{\frac{1}{2}}\\\\=\frac{\frac{2325}{8}}{\frac{1}{2}}\\\\=\frac{2325}{8} \times 2\\\\=\frac{2325}{4}\\\\=581 \frac{1}{4}\\\\=581.25

therefore

the answer is

581.25

Alja [10]

Answer:

55 cookies in 80 mins

Step-by-step explanation:

1 hour has 60 mins

so 25/60=0.417

0.417/3=0.139

0.139x4=0.556

so he can eat 55 cookies in 80 mins

Water flows into a right cylindrical shaped swimming pool with a circular base at a rate of 4 m33/min. The radius of the base is
Sloan [31]

Answer:

The water level is rising at a rate of approximately 0.1415 meters per minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

Water is flowing into a right cylindrical-shaped swimming pool at a rate of 4 cubic meters per minute. The radius of the base is 3 meters.

And we want to determine the rate at which the water level of the pool is rising.

Recall that the volume of a cylinder is given by:

\displaystyle V = \pi r^ 2h

Since the radius is a constant 3 meters:

\displaystyle V = 9\pi h

Water is flowing at a rate of 4 cubic meters per minute. In other words, dV/dt = 4 m³ / min.

Take the derivative of both sides with respect to <em>t: </em>

<em />\displaystyle \frac{d}{dt}\left[ V\right] = \frac{d}{dt}\left[ 9\pi h\right]<em />

Implicitly differentiate:

\displaystyle \frac{dV}{dt} = 9\pi \frac{dh}{dt}

The rate at which the water level is rising is represented by dh/dt. Substitute and solve:

\displaystyle \left(4 \right) = 9\pi \frac{dh}{dt}

Therefore:

\displaystyle \frac{dh}{dt} = \frac{4}{9\pi} \approx 0.1415\text{ m/min}

In conclusion, the water level is rising at a rate of approximately 0.1415 meters per minute.
