Answer:

Your answer is correct. The series is a geometric series with common ratio -1/4 and first term 40. So each term is:

an = 40 (-1/4)^(n−1)

So the sum of the first 10 terms is:

∑(n=1 to 10) [ 40 (-1/4)^(n−1) ]

Drupady [299]

Answer: The number of cubic yards of concrete that are needed is 720.

Step-by-step explanation: The same formula for this type of shape stays the same: l*w*(h or d).

240 * 4 = 960

960 * 0.75 = 720

Equation A y = 4/x + 3 Equation B y = −2x − 4 Which statement best compares the graphs of the two equations?

vampirchik [111]

Elimination
A, they are both linear
linear equations are sometimes given by y=mx+b, equation A, if graphed, produces a hyperbola which is not linear so statement A is false

B they areboth non-linear
equationb is linear so this is false

C equation a is non-linear and equation b is linear
true
C is the answer

$~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{quadratic formula} \\\\ 0=\stackrel{\stackrel{a}{\downarrow }}{3}x^2\stackrel{\stackrel{b}{\downarrow }}{+2}x\stackrel{\stackrel{c}{\downarrow }}{-5} \qquad \qquad x= \cfrac{ - b \pm \sqrt { b^2 -4 a c}}{2 a} \\\\\\ x= \cfrac{ - (2) \pm \sqrt { (2)^2 -4(3)(-5)}}{2(3)} \implies x = \cfrac{ -2 \pm \sqrt { 4 +60}}{ 6 } \\\\\\ x= \cfrac{ -2 \pm \sqrt { 64 }}{ 6 }\implies x=\cfrac{ -2 \pm 8}{ 6 }\implies x= \begin{cases} ~~ 1\\ -\frac{5}{3} \end{cases}$
