The lines on a basketball form a half circle at the free throw line. Use the picture to determine the area of the half circle. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
The number of terms, 'n' is 8
<h3 /><h3>How to determine the number of terms</h3>
Let's determine the common ratio;
common ratio, r = 3/1 = 3
The formula for sum of geometric series with 'r' greater than 1 is given as; Sn = a( r^n - 1) / (r - 1)
n is unknown
Sn = 3280
Substitute the value
3280 = 1 ( 3^n - 1) / 3- 1
3280 = 3^n -1 /2
Cross multiply
3280 × 2 = 3^n - 1
6560 + 1 = 3^n
6561 = 3^n
This could be represented as;
3^8 = 3^n
like coefficient cancels out
n = 8
Thus, the number of terms, 'n' is 8

Answer: the value of the account at the end of 6 years is is $8577
Step-by-step explanation:
We would apply the formula for determining compound interest which is expressed as
A = P(1+r/n)^nt
Where
A = total amount in the account at the end of t years
r represents the interest rate.
n represents the periodic interval at which it was compounded.
P represents the principal or initial amount deposited
From the information given,
P = 6000
r = 6% = 6/100 = 0.06
n = 4 because it was compounded 4 times in a year.
t = 6 years
Therefore,.
A = 6000(1+0.06/4)^4 × 6
A = 6000(1+0.015)^24
A = 6000(1.015)^24
A = $8577
-0.75 is a rational number because it can be expressed as the fraction -3/4 and it is an integer
