Answer:

Option B is correct.

sum of given geometric series is, 255

Step-by-step explanation:

Evaluate the geometric series: \sum_{i=1}^{8} 2^{i-1}

we can write this as:

1+2+4+.......+128

Formula for the sum of the geometric series:

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

where

a is the first term

n is the number of terms

r is the common ratio

In the given series:

common ratio (r) = 2>1, n = 8 and first term(a) = 1

Since,

\frac{2}{1} = 2

\frac{4}{2} = 2 and so on...

then substitute the given values in [1] we have;

S_n = \frac{1((2)^8-1)}{2-1}

or

S_n = 256-1 = 255

Therefore, the sum of given geometric series is, 255

An oil company fills 1 over 12 of a tank in 1 over 3 hour. At this rate, which expression can be used to determine how long will
Leto [7]
Don't let fractions fool you.

\frac{1}{12} of a tank in \frac{1}{3} an hour is equal to:
1/12 of a tank in 20 minutes.

Thus we know in an hour, an oil company can fill 3/12 of a tank (60 minutes in an hour).

3 x 4 = 12, and 12/12 = 1(a whole tank), so we multiply 1 (hour) by 4.

Our answer is that it takes 4 hours to fill a tank.

liberstina [14]

Answer:

y=90x+2,000

Step-by-step explanation:

90 is the rate of change because the hot air balloon descends 90 feet per minute.

And 2,000 is the starting point because the hot air balloon started the descent at 2,000 feet.
