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!

algol [13]
Given the area, to rewrite the function using distributive property we get:
6(2x+5y)
using distributive property we open the parenthesis, this will give us:
6×2x+6×5y
simplifying the above we get
=12x+30y

Answer: 12x+30y

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

1875

Step-by-step explanation:

After sharing in the ratio 5:3, the brother has

5000/(5+3) x 5 = 3125

Next, he shares with his friend in the ratio 3:1:1, thus

3125/(3+1+1) x 3 = 1875
