Answer:

The sum of first five term is 1937.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given series is

1000+500+250+...

Here the first term is 1000 and each term is half of its previous term. The common ratio is

r=\frac{500}{1000}=0.5

The sum of n terms of a GP is

S_n=\frac{a(1-r^n)}{1-r}

Where, a is first term, r is common difference, r<1 and n is number of terms.

S_5=\frac{1000(1-(0.5)^5)}{1-0.5}

S_5=\frac{968.75}{0.5}

S_5=1937.5

Therefore the sum of first five term is 1937.5.

Answer:

y = -1/4x - 6

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

  • Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

<u>Algebra I</u>

Slope Formula: m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

  • m - slope
  • b - y-intercept

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

<em>Find points from the graph.</em>

Point (-4, -5)

y-intercept (0, -6)

<u>Step 2: Find slope </u><em><u>m</u></em>

  1. Substitute:                    m=\frac{-6+5}{0+4}
  2. Add:                              m=\frac{-1}{4}

<u>Step 3: Write linear function</u>

PLEASE HELP ME FOR BRAINLIEST ANSWER An architect designs a rectangular flower garden such that the width is exactly​ two-thirds
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

Length: 84 ft

Width: 56 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define some variables first.

Call the length l and width w.

We know that w = 2/3l. Therefore, we can express w in terms of l with this expression.

Now, let's set up an equation. The flower garden is rectangular, and 280 feet of fencing are used to enclose the garden. This represents perimeter.

Remember the formula for perimeter of a rectangle: 2l + 2w

Let's substitute 2/3l for w:

2l + 2*2/3l = P

2l + 4/3l = 280

2 4/3l = 280

10/3l = 280

l = 84

Now, we know that the length is equal to 84 feet. We can multiply 84 feet by 2/3 to find the width.

84*2/3 = 56

Length: 84 ft

Width: 56 ft

Let's plug these values into the formula and see if they give us the correct perimeter:

2l + 2w = P

2*84 + 2*56 = P

168 + 112

= 280 feet

These are the correct dimensions!  

Hope this helps! You can reach out to me if you have further questions or concerns! :)

sdas [7]

Answer:

A , B and E.

Step-by-step explanation:

the scientist can control and deal with the measure of manure that is given to a solitary corn plants. thus A is correct.

The reaction variable is the yield recorded for each plot due to the fact that the yield recorded in each plot is needed to check  whether the compost is given or not. choice B is also correct

it's considered an experiment because the specialist is controlling the autonomous variable. then E is a right choice.
