Given a slope $m$ , the slope $m'$ of a line perpendicular to $m$ is the opposite of the inverse of $m$

In other words:

$mm' = -1 \iff m' = -\dfrac{1}{m}$

So, the slope of CD is -5/2.

What are the first and last terms of this geometric series

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

ANSWER

E. 10 and 640

EXPLANATION

The given series is

$\sum_{i=1}^45 \times 2^{2i-1}$

To find the first term of the series we substitute i=1 to get,

$a_1 = 5 \times {2}^{2 \times 1 - 1}$

$a_1 = 5 \times {2}^{ 1} = 10$

For the last term of the series, we substitute i=4 to obtain,

$a_4 = 5 \times {2}^{2 \times 4 - 1}$

$a_4 = 5 \times {2}^{7}$

This implies that,

$a_4 = 5 \times 128 = 640$

Therefore the correct answer is E

kupik [55]

Answer: Ellie borrowed $150.

Step-by-step explanation:

I = PRT

39 = P x 0.065 x 4

39 = P x 0.26

Divide both sides by 0.26

150 = P
