Answer:

312.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the series: 250, 50, 10...

As we can see, each subsequent term gets smaller and smaller. Eventually, it will be infinitesimally small. So, our series converges.

We can also see this from our common ratio. Each term is 1/5 of the previous term. Since our r 1/5 is less than 1, our series will converge.

Since it converges, we can indeed find our sum. First, we can write our series using summation. This will be:

\displaystyle{\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} 250(\frac{1}{5})^n }

We can use the following infinite geometric series formula:

\displaystyle{\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} ar^n=\frac{a}{1-r}

So, let's substitute 250 for a and 1/5 for r. This yields:

\displaystyle{\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} 250(\frac{1}{5})^n }=\frac{250}{1-\frac{1}{5}}

Subtract:

\displaystyle{\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} 250(\frac{1}{5})^n }=\frac{250}{\frac{4}{5}}

Divide. So, our series converges to:

\displaystyle{\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} 250(\frac{1}{5})^n }=312.5

And we're done!

Since we are already given the formula and all the information, the only thing that we have to do is input all the values and simplify until we get an answer. In addition, we must also note that the radius is 4 (because the diameter is equal to twice the radius, meaning that if the diameter is 8, the radius is 4). Using the formula and information given, we get:

Volume = 3 * (4)² * 12

Which simplifies to:

Volume = 3 * 16 * 12
Volume = 576

Now, we need to know the units. Since this is a 3d shape, and the unit for the lengths of the sides are centimeters, this answer will be in centimeters cubed. That means our answer is 576 centimeters cubed.

Answer:

77 feet below sea level.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since y is the time the submarine is ascending, we can plug it in for y and find our answer. We can create an equation where D is the depth and y is time ascending: D = -230 + 17y

Substitute 9 for y:

D = -230 + 17(9)

D = -230 + 153

D = -77

The depth of the submarine after 9 minutes will be 77 feet below sea level. Hope this helps, and Brainly will be highly appreciated.
