9/27, 12/27, 16/27

So this is a geometric sequence as each term is 4/3 the previous term.

Since the common ration is greater than one the sum of the series diverges, it does not exist.  (The sum just keeps getting larger and larger)

For a geometric series to have a sum r^2<1

So that the normal sum....

s(n)=a(1-r^n)/(1-r)   becomes if r^2<1

s=a/(1-r)

What is the slope of the linear relationship shown in this table of values?
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope m use any 2 ordered pairs from the table.

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 4, 11) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, - 1)

m = \frac{-1-11}{2+4} = \frac{-12}{6} = - 2 → B

Mr. Sawyer drove his car from his home to New York at the rate of 45 mph and returned over the same road at the rate of 40 mph.
AveGali [126]

Answer: Time taken by him in going = 8 hours

Time taken by him in returning =  9 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total distance from home to New York is x miles,

\text{ Since, Time} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}

Also, he drove his car from his home to New York at the rate of 45 mph,

⇒ \text{ Time taken by him in going } = \frac{x}{45}\text{ hours}

And, returned over the same road at the rate of 40 mph.

⇒  \text{ Time taken by him in returning } = \frac{x}{40}\text{ hours}

According to the question,

Time taken by him in returning - Time taken by him in going = 30 minutes = 1/2 hours,    ( 1 hours = 60 minutes )

⇒ \frac{x}{40}-\frac{x}{45}=\frac{1}{2}

⇒ \frac{9x}{360}-\frac{8x}{360}=\frac{1}{2}

⇒ \frac{x}{360} = \farc{1}{2}

⇒ 2x=720

⇒ x=360\text{ miles}

Hence, the total distance from home to New York = x miles = 360 miles

⇒ \text{ Time taken by him in going } = \frac{x}{45}\text{ hours}

=\frac{360}{45}=8\text{ hours}

⇒  \text{ Time taken by him in returning } = \frac{x}{40}\text{ hours}

=\frac{360}{40}=9\text{ hours}

Classify the following polynomials according to the number of terms. Combine any like terms first.
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

1) Combining like terms, we get x^2 + 5x, which is a binomial.

2) Combining like terms, we get x^3 + 3x^2, which is a binomial.

3) Combining like terms, we get 4x^3 + x^2 - x, which is a trinomial.

4) I can't answer this because there's an asterisk in place of the exponent.

Consider the graph of the quadratic function y = 3x2 – 3x – 6. What are the solutions of the quadratic equation 0 = 3x2 − 3x − 6
Ilya [14]
Roots of the equation 3x² -3x-6=0 are -1 and 2,
all choices are given wrong
3*2²-3*2-6=0
12-6-6=0
0=0, which is true , so root is 2

3*20²-3*20-6=0
600-60-6=0
534=0  which is wrong, so root is 2, but not 20

Help!! I don't know what to do with the square root
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

\sqrt{10}

Step-by-step explanation:

g(4) = \sqrt{(4)^2 - (4) - 2}  \\\\g(4) = \sqrt{16 - 4 - 2}  \\\\g(4) = \sqrt{16 - 6} \\\\g(4) = \sqrt{10}

You can't simplify this anymore

Hope this helps! : )
