Answer: (B) -625

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Given the sequence {-500, -100, -20, -4, -0.8, ... }, we know that that the first term (a) is -500 and the ratio (r) is \dfrac{-100}{-500}=\dfrac{1}{5}

Input those values into the Sum formula:

S_n=\dfrac{a(1-r^n)}{1-r}\\\\S_8=\dfrac{-500\bigg(1-\dfrac{1}{5}^n\bigg)}{1-\dfrac{1}{5}}\\\\.\quad=\dfrac{-500\bigg(1-\dfrac{1}{390,625}\bigg)}{\dfrac{4}{5}}\\\\.\quad=\dfrac{-500\bigg(\dfrac{390,624}{390,625}\bigg)}{\dfrac{4}{5}}\\\\.\quad=\dfrac{5(-500)(390,624)}{4(390,625)}\\\\.\quad=-624.998\\\\.\quad=-625\quad \text{(rounded to 2 decimal places)}

Factor this polynomial expression. x^2-16
V125BC [204]

Hi,

We know that:

a² -- b² = (a -- b)(a + b).

With a = x, and b = 4, we have:

x² -- 16 = x² -- 4² = (x -- 4)(x + 4).

As simple as that. Have you understood ?

Will mark brainliest !! Easy math
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

increase = 37.38 cm²

You'd like the first way because it took less effort and less chance of a miscalculation.

Step-by-step explanation:

first way:

(just work with the difference in height)

(0.7 x 8.7 x 2) + (0.7 x 18 x 2) = 37.38 cm²

second way:

old total lateral surface area = (31 x 8.7 x 2) + (31 x 18 x 2) = 1655.4

new total lateral surface area = (31.7 x 8.7 x 2) + (31.7 x 18 x 2) = 1692.78

increase = 1692.78 - 1655.4 = 37.38 cm²

Solving the linear equations variable on one side
Brums [2.3K]

The pick up fee is $2.50.

After each mile, $1.95 is added.

That is, after the first mile, we have;

\begin{gathered} \text{Fe}e=\text{ 2.50 + 1.95(1)} \\ \text{After the second mile, we have;} \\ Fee=\text{ 2.50+1.95(2)} \end{gathered}

Isaac total charge = $27.46;

Generally, let the number of miles driven by the taxi be x, then we have;

1.95x+2.50=27.46

Solving for the number of miles Isaac travelled, we have;

\begin{gathered} 1.95x=27.46-2.50 \\ 1.95x=24.96 \\ x=\frac{24.96}{1.95} \\ x=12.8\text{miles} \end{gathered}

CORRECT OPTION:

1.95x+2.50=27.46;\text{ Isaac traveled 12.8 miles.}

What is the slope of the line through the points (–2, –1) and (8, –3)?
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the slope, denoted m

This is done by using the formula m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

The slope for this problem is

m = [-3 - (-1)]/[8 - (-2)]  

m = -2/10 = -1/5
