Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The given series is a geometric series because the consecutive terms differ by a common ratio. The formula for determining the sum of the first 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,

a = 3

r = 6/3 = 12/6 = 2

n = 15

Therefore, the sum of the first 15 terms, S15 is

S15 = (3 × 2^(15) - 1)/2 - 1

S15 = (3 × 32767)/1

S15 = 98301

The mean ages with standard deviations of four swim teams at a swim club are given below.

Answer:

Statement 2 (The ages of the Stars are the most dispersed from the team’s mean).

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard deviation is one way to measure the average of the data by determining the spread of the data. It actually explains how much the observation points are further away from the mean of the data. Higher the standard deviation, higher the spread of the data and higher is the uncertainty. This means that the team with the highest standard deviation will have the most dispersion. In this case, the standard deviation of 4.1 is the largest number, therefore, the statement "The ages of the Stars are the most dispersed from the team’s mean." is true i.e. the option 2!!!

What does x = and why and how does that number come out

dedylja [7]

More algebra pretending to be geometry. These questions should be banished from the planet.

A transversal across parallel lines generates the usual congruent and supplementary angles; here our pair are supplementary, adding to 180 degrees. Geometry done.

(2x + 12.8) + 117.6 = 180

2x = 180 - (12.8 + 117.6) = 49.6

x = 49.6/2 = 24.8

Answer: 24.8

A boat travels 3 hours downstream at r miles per hour. On the return trip, the boat travels 5 miles per hour slower and takes 4

Rudik [331]

This is a simple one.

We dont know how fast it is going downstream, but we do know it took 3 hours to reach the destination. Now, saying that, when coming back we know it took 4 hours(an hour longer than what we took to get there), and we also know we were moving 5 miles slower per hour. If we think a bit, we can see that moving 5 miles slower made us take a whole hour. Making me believe that when we were headed to our destination we were moving at 20 miles per hour, and when we were headed back, we moved at 15mph(20-5)

To check that this was correct, we can just simply check, "okay so from our point to our destination we traveled 60 miles in total. if we went 20 miles an hour, in 3 hours(3×20) we would be at our destination, and if we traveled at 15 miles an hour, it would take us 4 hours to get back to our starting point (4×15)

HOPE THIS HELPED. PLEASE CONSIDER LEAVING A 5 STAR, A HEART AND MAKING THIS THE BRAINLIEST ANSWER THAT WOULD BE SO VERY MUCH APRECIATED!!!!
