Answer:

Sum of 9terms = 68,887

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum nth term of a GP series is Sn = a(r^n -1)/(r-1)

where a = first term

r = common ratio = Tn/Tn-1

n = nth of term

Therefore for 7,21 ,63 +...

a = 7

r = 21/7 = 3

I.e

Sum of 9 terms = 7 x (3^9-1)/(3-1)

=7 x (19683-1)/2

7 x 19682/2

= 7 x 9841

= 68,887

Sum of 9terms = 68,887

Answer:

The sum of first 9 terms of the given sequence = 68887

Step-by-step explanation:

Given sequence:

7+21+63......

The given sequence is a geometric sequence as the successive numbers bear a common ratio.

The ratio can be found out by dividing a number by the number preceding it.

For the given geometric sequence common ratio r can be given as:

r=\frac{21}{7}=3

The sum of a geometric sequence is given by:

S_n=\frac{a_1(r^n-1)}{r-1}       when r>1

and

S_n=\frac{a_1(1-r^n)}{1-r}      when r

where, S_n represents sum of nterms, n representing number of terms and r represents common ratio and a_1 represents the first term.

Since for the given geometric sequence has a common ratio =3 which is >1, so we will use the first formula for sum to calculate the sum of first 9 terms.

Plugging in the values to find sum of first 9 terms.

S_9=\frac{7(3^9-1)}{3-1}  

S_9=\frac{7(19683-1)}{3-1}  

S_9=\frac{7(19682)}{2}

S_9=\frac{137774}{2}

∴ S_9=68887  

Thus sum of first 9 terms of the given sequence = 68887 (Answer)

A toy rocket is a composite of a cylindrical body with a cone for a nose. The base of the cylinder and cone are the same size. C
inysia [295]

The volume of the entire rocket given the volumes of the cylindrical body and the cone nose is 117.23 in³.

<h3>What is the volume of the entire rocket?</h3>

The volume of the entire rocket is the sum of the volume of the cylinder and the volume of the cone.

Volume of the cylinder = πr²h

Where:

  • π = 3.14
  • r = radius 2
  • h= height = 12 - 4 = 8 inches

3.14 x 2² x 8 = 100.48 in³

Volume of the cone = 1/3 πr²h

1/3 x 2² x 3.14 x 4 = 16.75 in³

Volume of the rocket = 100.48 + 16.75 = 117.23 in³

If Happie had ridden exactly 100 feet in 25
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

The speed rate is 100 feet per 25 seconds, or 20 feet every 5 seconds, (100 / 5 = 20)

Every minute is 60 seconds long, this means that to find out how fast she would roll in one minute we just need to do 60 / 5 = 12 and then do 12 x 20

12 x 20

10 x 20 = 200 feet per second

2 x 20 = 40 feet per second

200 + 40 = 240 feet per second

Happie would roll 240 feet in a minute at the speed of 100 feet per 25 seconds

Hope this helps!
