A total of 285 tickets were sold for the school play. they were either adult tickets or student tickets. the number of student t

Assoli18 [71]

Lets say the number of adult tickets is x. This means the number of student tickets is 2x. So, 2x + x = 285, or 3x =285. The means x = 95. So the number of adult tickets sold is 95.

Find 10 partial sums of the series. (round your answers to five decimal places.) ∞ 15 (−4)n n = 1

nikklg [1K]

Given

$\Sigma_{n=1}^\infty15(-4)^n$

The first 10 partial sums are as follows:

$S_1=\Sigma_{n=1}^{1}15(-4)^n=15(-4)=\bold{-60} \\ \\ S_2=\Sigma_{n=1}^{2}15(-4)^n=\Sigma_{n=1}^{1}15(-4)^n+15(-4)^2 \\ =-60+15(16)=-60+240=\bold{180} \\ \\ S_3=\Sigma_{n=1}^{3}15(-4)^n=\Sigma_{n=1}^{2}15(-4)^n+15(-4)^3 \\ =180+15(-64)=180-960=\bold{-780} \\ \\ S_4=\Sigma_{n=1}^{4}15(-4)^n=\Sigma_{n=1}^{3}15(-4)^n+15(-4)^4 \\ =-780+15(256)=-780+3,840=\bold{3,060} \\ \\ S_5=\Sigma_{n=1}^{5}15(-4)^n=\Sigma_{n=1}^{4}15(-4)^n+15(-4)^5 \\ =3,060+15(-1,024)=3,060-15,360=\bold{-12,300}$

$S_6=\Sigma_{n=1}^{6}15(-4)^n=\Sigma_{n=1}^{5}15(-4)^n+15(-4)^6 \\ =-12,300+15(4,096)=-12,300+61,440=\bold{49,140}$

The rest of the partial sums can be obtained in similar way.

Hi I just have a question how do you divide 18/32 with out a calculator.

Bingel [31]

First set it up like this: $32 \sqrt{18}$
<span>then add a zero on to the 18 and a decimal point like this: </span> $32 \sqrt{18.0}$
then solve for 180/32 and add a decimal in the same location that it is in the 18.0 Hope this helps!
