Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a: Wrong. The first thing that you have to notice is that the sum goes to infinity. If you want k=4 to be the last condition, then take out the 3 dots.

b: That's the answer.

c: wrong. You get a real mess when you let set k = 0. Try it on your calculator.

1 ÷ 0 = Watch carefully as your calculator mentally melts down.

d: wrong. It's just not right. The highest power is k^2. There is no way to get k^3

Answer:

x = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

∠ CAD and ∠ EDF are corresponding angles and are congruent, so

∠ CAD = 2x

The sum of the 3 angles in Δ ABD = 180°

sum the angles and equate to 180

72 + 2x + 2x = 180

72 + 4x = 180 ( subtract 72 from both sides )

4x = 108 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 27

Over the summer, Mr. Patel refilled a bird feeder 24 times using 6 cups of seed each time. A bag of seeds holds 32 cups. How man

Illusion [34]

Mr. Patel used 4.5 bags of seed

Solution:

Given that,

Over the summer, Mr. Patel refilled a bird feeder 24 times using 6 cups of seed each time

A bag of seeds holds 32 cups

1 bag of seed = 32 cups

Given that Patel refilled 24 times using 6 cups of seed each time

Then, the number of cups used for the 24 times is given as:

$6 \times 24 = 144$

Now we have to find the bags of seed needed for 144 cups

Let "x" be the number of bags of seed for 144 cups

From given,

1 bag of seed = 32 cups

"x" bags of seed = 144 cups

This forms a proportion and we can solve it by cross multiplying

$144 \times 1 = 32 \times x\\\\144 = 32x\\\\x = \frac{144}{32}\\\\x = 4.5$

Thus 4.5 bags of seed is used by Mr.patel
