PEMDAS - Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, and Subtraction
First, we do the exponents.
5² - 4 · 6 + 11
= 25 - 4 · 6 + 11
Next, multiplication (according to PEMDAS).
= 25 - 24 + 11
Although PEMDAS says addition then do subtraction, please note that this is totally interchangeable. For the sake of this problem, subtraction will be done first.
= 25 - 24 + 11
= 1 + 11
Finally, addition.
= 12
This is your answer. Happy studying~
Answer:
24 blue cars
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up a proportion to solve this...
40/5 = x/3 (forty red cars is to five red cars as 'x' number of blue cars is to 3 blue cars)
Now solve by cross multiplying...
120 = 5x
24 = x
The equation would be (x+4)+x=18. X stands for the amount of pears Wilma bought, and (x+4) is the amount of pears Tania bought (because she bought four more pounds than Wilma).
(X+4)+x=18
2x+4=18 (now you subtract four from both sides)
2x=14 (to get x by itself, divide both sides by 2)
X=7
Wilma bought 7 pounds of pears :3
Answer: 7.1 feet
Step-by-step explanation: I guessed lol
Answers:
x = -8/5 or x = 8/5
Sum of the first ten terms where all terms are positive = 4092
========================================================
Explanation:
r = common ratio
- first term = 4
- second term = (first term)*(common ratio) = 4r
- third term = (second term)*(common ratio) = (4r)*r = 4r^2
The first three terms are: 4, 4r, 4r^2
We're given that the sequence is: 4, 5x, 16
Therefore, we have these two equations
Solve the second equation for r and you should find that r = -2 or r = 2 are the only possible solutions. If r = -2, then 5x = 4r solves to x = -8/5. If r = 2, then 5x = 4r solves to x = 8/5.
-----------------
To find the sum of the first n terms, we use this geometric series formula
Sn = a*(1 - r^n)/(1 - r)
We have
- a = 4 = first term
- r = 2, since we want all the terms to be positive
- n = 10 = number of terms to sum up
So,
Sn = a*(1 - r^n)/(1 - r)
S10 = 4*(1 - 2^10)/(1 - 2)
S10 = 4*(1 - 1024)/(-1)
S10 = 4*(-1023)/(-1)
S10 = 4092
