The sum of a geometric series of twelve terms with common ratio 2 is 20,475. What is the first term?

Ray Of Light [21]3 years ago

Answer: the first term is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

In a geometric sequence, the consecutive terms differ by a common ratio. The formula for determining the sum of n terms, Sn of a geometric sequence is expressed as

Sn = (ar^n - 1)/(r - 1)

Where

n represents the number of term in the sequence.

a represents the first term in the sequence.

r represents the common ratio.

From the information given,

S12 = 20475

r = 2

n = 12

Therefore,

20475 = (a × 2^(12) - 1)/2 - 1

20475 = (a × 4095)

20475 = 4095a

a = 20475/4095

a = 5

80 POINTS HELP<br> 1. What is the value of x? Show all of your work.
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

x = 9cm

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a right triangle so we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2  where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

6^2 + x^2 = ( sqrt(117) ^2)

36 + x^2 = 117

Subtract 36 from each side

x^2 = 117 -36

x^2 = 81

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(81)

x = 9

R = 850 cm, s = 250 cm and t=940 cm. Find the measure of ZS tothe nearest 10th of a degree
faust18 [17]

To find the measure of the s angle que are going use the cosine law because we know all the sides of the triangule:

s² = r² + t² - 2*r*t * cos(S)

Then solve the equation

s² -r² - t² = -2*r*t * cos(S)

arccos ((s² -r² - t² /-2*r*t)) = S

arccos (((250)² -(850 cm)²-(940 cm)² /(-2* 850 cm*940 cm) = S

14.9 = S

round to the nearest 10th of a degree

15º = S
