Find the sum of the geometric series.

Mathematics
1 answer:
alexira [117]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Sum=\frac{32}{5}=6.4

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given geometric  series as

8-2+\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{8}+.......

we can use infinite sum formula

sum=\frac{a}{1-r}

where

a is first term

r is common ratio

so, we have

a=8

r=\frac{-2}{8}

r=-\frac{1}{4}

now, we can plug values

sum=\frac{8}{1-(-\frac{1}{4})}

Sum=\frac{32}{5}=6.4

A theater group made appearances in two cities. The hotel charge before tax in the second city was $1000 lower than in the first
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

Let x = the charge in 1st city before taxes

Let y = the charge in 2nd city before taxes

 

 

Set up equation before taxes.

 

y = x - 1500        eq1

 

 

Set up equation for total tax paid.

 

0.065x + 0.06y = 378.75         eq2

 

 

Substitute eq1 into eq2.

 

0.065x + 0.06(x - 1500) = 378.75

0.065x + 0.06x - 90 = 378.75

0.125x - 90 = 378.75

0.125x = 468.75

       x = 3750

 

Substitute this value of x into eq1.

 

y = 3750 - 1500

y = 2250

 

 

The hotel charge in city one is $3750 and the hotel charge in city two is $2250

The population of a community is known to increase at a rate proportional to the number of people present at time t. The initial
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

The initial population P0 is 7500

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, we are told that the population is proportional to time. This means that as time goes by, the population will increase. This type of relationship between two variables has the form of a linear equation expressed as:

y = mx + b,

where m is the slope of the curve and b is the intercept of it.

In this case we can state the following equation:

P = mt + P0

Where P is the population at a certain time "t", "m" is the slope of the curve, "t" is the time (this is the independent variable) and P0 is the intercept of the curve and represents the initial population.

Once we state the equation, let's see what we know:

If t = 0, then P = P0

If t = 3, then P = 12000 just as we are told

and if t = 5, then P = 2 P0 because after five years the population has doubled compared to the initial population (P0).

From the definition of the slope of the curve:

(Y2 - Y1)/(X2-X1) = m

and using the data described before we can formulate the slope value:

m = (2P0 - P0)/(5-0)

m = (2P0 - P0)/5

m = P0/5

Then, let's replace the value of m in the following equation:

P = mt + P0

12000 = (P0/5) × 3 + P0 → This is the equation presented when 3 years has gone by and we now have a population of 12000.

12000 = (3/5) P0 + P0

12000 = (8/5) P0

12000×5/8 = P0 = 7500

Then we can calculate the value of the slope m:

m = P0/5

m = 7500/5 = 1500

Now, knowing the value of m and the initial population P0 we are able to calculate the population at any value of "t".
