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

Evaluate the line integral, where C is the given curve. (x + 4y) dx + x2 dy, C C consists of line segments from (0, 0) to (4, 1)
zubka84 [21]

Parameterize the line segments (call them C_1 and C_2, respectively, by

\vec r_1(t)=(1-t)(0,0)+t(4,1)=(4t,t)

\vec r_2(t)=(1-t)(4,1)+t(5,0)=(4+t,1-t)

both with 0\le t\le1. Then

\displaystyle\int_C(x+4y)\,\mathrm dx+x^2\,\mathrm dy

=\displaystyle\int_0^1\bigg((4t+4t)(4)+(4t)^2(1)\bigg)\,\mathrm dt+\int_0^1\bigg((4+t+4(1-t))(1)+(4+t)^2(-1)\bigg)\,\mathrm dt

=\displaystyle\int_0^115t^2+21t-8\,\mathrm dt=\boxed{\frac{15}2}

A newborn child receives a $20,000 gift toward college education from her grandparents. How much will the 20,000 be worth in 17
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

The amount the $20.000 will be worth in 17  years at compound interest is $65068.443

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have the Principal, P = $20,000.00

The annual interest rate, r = 7% = 0.07

Time , t = 17 years

Number of compounding period per year, m = quarterly = 4

The compound interest can be found from the following formula;

Amount, \ A = P \left (1 + \frac{1}{r}  \right )^{mt}

Therefore, by plugging the values of the equation parameters, we have;

Amount, \ A = 20000 \left (1 + \frac{0.07}{4}  \right )^{4 \times 17} = \$  65068.443

Therefore, the amount the $20.000 will be worth in 17  years at compound interest = $65068.443.
