The sum of negative 5a and 3 is greater than 1.
Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
The given geometric series is
We want to determine the first term of this geometric series.
Recall that the explicit formula is
To find the first term, we put n=1 to get:
This gives us:
Therefore the first term is 12
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
27 is the "center" of a range of measurements of the height of the guard rail. The height could be as much as 30 inches or as little as 24 inches. The absolute value operator encloses "x - 27," where 27 is the "center." The acceptable excess or acceptable deficiency is 3 inches.
So now we can eliminate possible answers B and C, in both cases because 27 is inappropriately greater than 3.
Narrowing down our choices, we have h + 27 and h - 27 inside the absolute value operator. 27 is a positive quantity (height of the guard rail), so the inequality showing +27 as the "center" is correct; that is
D: |h - 27| ≤ 3 (measurements in inches).
