Answer:

The sum of the first six terms is 38.39

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a geometric sequence since the common difference between each term is -\frac{1}{4}

Thus, r=-\frac{1}{4}

To find the sum of first six terms, we need to find the fifth and sixth term of the sequence.

To find the fifth term:

The general form of geometric sequence is a_{n}=a_{1} \cdot r^{n-1}

To find the fifth term, substitute n=5 in a_{n}=a_{1} \cdot r^{n-1}

\begin{aligned}a_{5} &=(48) \cdot\left(-\frac{1}{4}\right)^{5-1} \\&=(48) \cdot\left(-\frac{1}{4}\right)^{4} \\&=(48)\left(\frac{1}{256}\right) \\a_{5} &=0.1875\end{aligned}

To find the sixth term, substitute n=6 in a_{n}=a_{1} \cdot r^{n-1}

\begin{aligned}a_{6} &=(48) \cdot\left(-\frac{1}{4}\right)^{6-1} \\&=(48) \cdot\left(-\frac{1}{4}\right)^{5} \\&=(48)\left(-\frac{1}{1024}\right) \\a_{5} &=-0.046875\end{aligned}

To find the sum of the first six terms:

The general formula to find Sn for |r| is S_{n}=\frac{a\left(1-r^{n}\right)}{1-r}

\begin{aligned}S_{6} &=\frac{48\left(1-\left(-\frac{1}{4}\right)^{6}\right)}{1-\left(-\frac{1}{4}\right)} \\&=\frac{48\left(1-\frac{1}{4096}\right)}{1+\frac{1}{4096}} \\&=\frac{48(0.95)}{5} \\&=\frac{48(0.9998)}{5} \\&=\frac{48(0.9998)}{5} \\&=\frac{47.9904}{5} \\&=38.39\end{aligned}

Thus, the sum of first six terms is 38.39

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

solution given:

B.

CE=2×2=4[base side is double to the line of mid point]

AB=15/2=7.5[b is a mid point]

m<AEC=75°[ corresponding angle]

5.

given:

BD=x+1

CE=x+10

we have

2BD=CE

2(x+1)=x+10

2x+2=x+10

2x-x=10-2

x=8

An n × n matrix B has characteristic polynomial p(λ) = −λ(λ − 3) 3 (λ − 2) 2 (λ + 1). Which of the following statements is false
asambeis [7]

Answer:

Only d) is false.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p=p(\lambda)=\lambda(\lambda-3)^3 (\lambda-2)^2 (\lambda+1) be the characteristic polynomial of B.

a) We use the rank-nullity theorem. First, note that 0 is an eigenvalue of algebraic multiplicity 1. The null space of B is equal to the eigenspace generated by 0. The dimension of this space is the geometric multiplicity of 0, which can't exceed the algebraic multiplicity. Then Nul(B)≤1. It can't happen that Nul(B)=0, because eigenspaces have positive dimension, therfore Nul(B)=1 and by the rank-nullity theorem, rank(B)=7-nul(B)=6 (B has size 7, see part e)

b) Remember that p(\lambda)=\det(B-\lambda I). 0 is a root of p, so we have that p(0)=\det(B-0 I)=\det B=0.

c) The matrix T must be a nxn matrix so that the product BTB is well defined. Therefore det(T) is defined and by part c) we have that det(BTB)=det(B)det(T)det(B)=0.

d) det(B)=0 by part c) so B is not invertible.

e) The degree of the characteristic polynomial p is equal to the size of the matrix B. Summing the multiplicities of each root, p has degree 7, therefore the size of B is n=7.

What is the total finance charge for a $4,250 loan at 13.25% interest compounded monthly for 24 months? ( I hate asking for help
antoniya [11.8K]
<span>There is a formula for a loan : A = P * r * ( r + 1 ) ^n / (( r + 1 ) ^n - 1 ), where P is the loan and A is the monthly payment. So P = $4,250 and r = 0.1325 : 12 = 0.011. ( 13.25 % = 0.1325 and we divide it by 12, because the interest is compounded monthly ). A = 4,250 * 0.011 * 1.011^(24) / ( 1.011^(24) - 1 ) = 4,250 * 0.11 * 1.3 / 0.3 = 4,250 * 0.0477; A = $202.55. Finally we have to multiply this sum by 24 : the total finance charge: $202.55 * 24 = $ 4,861.20. Answer: D ) $4,861.20 </span>
