The common ratio of a geometric series is 1/4 and the sum of the first 4 terms is 170.

Mathematics

Illusion [34]3 years ago

Answer: the first term of the series is 128

Step-by-step explanation:

In a geometric sequence, the consecutive terms differ by a common ratio. The formula for determining the sum of n terms, Sn of a geometric sequence is expressed as

Sn = a(1 - r^n)/(1 - r)

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,

r = 1/4 = 0.25

n = 4

S4 = 170

Therefore, the expression for the sum of the 4 terms, S4 is

170 = a(1 - 0.25^4)/(1 - 0.25)

170 = a(1 - 0.00390625)/(1 - 0.25)

170 = a(0.99609375)/(0.75)

170 = 1.328125a

a = 170/1.328125

a = 128

Write an inequality for the graph
natima [27]
The open circle means the inequality will be greater than or equal to (≥) or less than or equal to (≤).
A closed circle means the inequality will be greater than (>) or less than (<)

An arrow pointing right to increasingly positive values means the inequality is getting greater (> or ≥)
A narrowing pointing left to increasingly negative values means the inequality is getting lesser (< or ≤)

So for this graph with an open circle and rightward pointing arrow, “x” will be some number on the number line greater than the first point of -38:
x > -38

The data shown has a least-squares regression line of y=3.2x−6.4.
Damm [24]

Answer:

1) B. on, 2) D. 19.2, 3) C. 0

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The value of y according to the regression line is:

y = 3.2\cdot (8) - 6.4

y = 19.2

Hence, the point (8,19.2) is <em>on </em>the least-squares regression line.

2) The value of y according to the regression line is 19.2.

3) The residual is the difference between the value from the regression line and the real value. In this case, the residual value is 0.

PLEASE HELPPP!!!! Will give brainiest!!!!

Answer:

  • 0.008 °C

Explanation:

<u>1) Write the changes in the temperature of the city over the 4 days in an easy way to read.</u>

<u />

  • 1.34 °C
  • - 5 / 7 °C
  • - 0.75 °C
  • 4/9 ° C

<u />

<u>2) Write the expression to show the average daily change in temperature.</u>

The average of a set of data is calculated with the expression:

  • Average = (sum of the data) / amount of data

Hence, you need to add the four change of temperature data and divide by 4.

The expression is:

  • Average =  [ 1.34 °C + (- 5 / 7 °C) + ( - 0.75 °C) + 4/9 ° C ] / 4

<u>3) Write the steps to solve the expression:</u>

You can choose between adding  fractions or adding the decimal forms of the numbers.

If you choose adding decimals, keep the complete decimals in your calculator, to avoid the accumulation of errors due to rounding. Round only the final result.

These are the steps.

<u>a. Find the decimal forms of the fractions:</u>

  • - 5/7  ≈ 0.71428
  • 4 /9 ≈ 0.44444

<u>b. Add the four data:</u>

  • 1.34°C + (- 0.71428 °C) + (-0.75 °C) + 0.44444 °C ≈ 0.32019 °C

<u />

<u>c. Divide the sum by the number of data (4)</u>

  • 0.32019 °C / 4 ≈ 0.080004 °C

<u>4. Round to the nearest hundredth</u>

The place of the hundreth is the second after the decimal point, which is 8 in this case:

  • 0.080004 °C ≈ 0.08 °C
