Answer:

  • an = 2·(4/5)^(n-1)
  • 2, 8/5, 32/25, 128/125

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of an infinite geometric series is ...

  S = a1/(1 -r)

where r is the common ratio. The sum will only exist if |r| < 1.

The problem statement tells us S = 10 and a1 = 2, so we have ...

  10 = 2/(1 -r)

  r = 1 -2/10 = 4/5

So the n-th term of the series is ...

  an = a1·r^(n-1)

  an = 2·(4/5)^(n-1)

For values of n = 1 to 4, the terms are ...

  2, 8/5, 32/25, 128/125

Look at the equation below. How many solutions are there?<br><br> 2(3x+4)=6x+8)
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

x∈R

Step-by-step explanation:

2(3x+4)=6x+8

Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 3x+4.

6x+8=6x+8

Subtract 6x from both sides.

6x+8−6x=8

Combine 6x and −6x to get 0.

8=8

Compare 8 and 8.

True

This is true for any x.

x∈R

A woman has twice as many dimes as quarters in her purse. If the dimes were quarters and the quarters were dimes, she would have
Digiron [165]
If x = # of quarters, then, the # of dimes will be equal to 2x. The total value (z) would be equal to:

z = 0.25x + 0.10(2x)

Then, since you switch the quarters and the dimes, and you have a new total, the resulting equation will be:

1.2 + z  = 0.25(2x) + 0.10(x)

Plug in the values you know:

1.2 + (0.25x + 0.10(2x)) = 0.25(2x) + 0.10(x)

Solve for x:

1.2 + (0.25x + 0.20x) = 0.50x + 0.10x
1.2 + 0.45x = 0.60x
1.2 = 0.15x
x = 1.2/0.15 = 8

This means that there are 8 Quarters in her bag right now. So, the amount of dimes is just 2x which is 16. So your answer will be:

She has 8 Quarters and 16 Dimes in her bag right now. Or, $3.60.

If this doesn't make sense, then tell me. I have some resources where I got the answer from to put it into simplest terms. I have the website if you want.

A "true or false" quiz consists of 10 questions. How many possible ways might the 10 questions be answered?
My name is Ann [436]
Well, if all answers are true OR false, and there are 10 questions only, then it would simply be 20 different ways, I believe.
