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

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

What we know

total sum of angles = 540 deg

3/2 b cam also be written as 1.5b degrees.

So 1.5b + (b+45) + (2b - 90) +90 = 540

Step 1 -- get rid of parenthesis

         1.5b + b + 45 +2b -90 +90 =540

Step 2 -- combine the like expressions

         4.5b + 45 = 540

Step 3 -- subtract 45 from both the sides

         4.5b = 495

Step 4 -- divide 4.5 from both the sides

         b = 110  ----- not the right answer

Thats not right okay im sorry

but i guess if it is not 110 it should be 100, 90 etc.

90 = b is correct

A car travels 14km in 25mins . Find out how far the car can travel in 5 hours if the speed remains the same ? ​
jekas [21]
<h3><u>Answer :- </u></h3>

168 km ...

<h3><u>Explanation :- </u></h3>

It is given that the car travels 14km in 25 minutes..

Now , assume that the distance the car travel in 5 hours be x..

  • Since 1 hour = 60 minutes..
  • 5 hours = 300 minutes ..

• Thus , The two given statements are :-

  • 14km -----------------> 25 minutes..
  • And, x km -------------> 300 minutes..

<h3><u>We know that , </u></h3>

  • The distance travelled by car and the time taken by the car is directly proportional to each other....

<h3>So , </h3>

\frac{14}{25}  =  \frac{x}{300}

= x = 168km

• Hence , Car can travel 168km in 5 hours ..

Hope this helps you :)
