The common ratio in a geometric series is 4 and the first term is 3.

Mathematics
1 answer:
kodGreya [7K]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The sum of the first 8 terms in the series is 65535.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

The common ratio in a geometric series, r = 4

First term of GP is, a = 3

It is required to find the sum of the first 8 terms in the series. The sum of first n terms of a GP is given by :

S_n=\dfrac{a(r^n-1)}{r-1}, r>1

Here, n = 8

S_8=\dfrac{3\times ((4)^8-1)}{4-1}\\\\S_8=65535

So, the sum of the first 8 terms in the series is 65535.

Find a recursive formula for the sequence:<br><br> 1, -1, -7, -25
Mumz [18]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

a_n=3a_{n-1}-4

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

<em>Try the answers</em>

You can try the answers to see what works. You can expect all of the choices to match the first two terms, so try some farther down. Let's see if we can get -25 from -7.

a) 3*(-7) -4 = -21 -4 = -25 . . . . this one works

b) -7 -2 = -9 . . . . ≠ -25

c) -3(-7) +2 = 21 +2 = 23 . . . . ≠ -25

d) -2(-7) +1 = 14 +1 = 15 . . . . ≠ -25

The formula that works is the first one.

_____

<em>Derive it</em>

All these formulas depend on the previous term only, so we can write equations that show the required relationships. Let the unknown coefficients in our recursion formula be p and q, as in ...

a_n=p\cdot a_{n-1}+q

Then, to get the second term from the first, we have

... 1·p +q = -1

And to get the third term from the second, we have

... -1·p +q = -7

Subtracting the second equation from the first gives ...

... 2p = 6

... p = 3 . . . . . . . this is sufficient to identify the first answer as correct

We can find q from the first equation.

... q = -1 -p = -1 -3 = -4

So, our recursion relation is ...

a_n=3a_{n-1}-4

malfutka [58]

Answer:

Hello some parts of your question is missing below is the missing part

answer : A) p-value =  0.0019 ,

The level of significance ( 0.05 ) > p-value ( 0.0019 )

B) There is no dependence between the two ratings

Step-by-step explanation:

A) using a 0.05 level of significance and test for independence of the quality of management

Test statistic : X^{2}  ∑ ( Oi - Ei )^2 / Ei

= [(40-35)^2 / 35 ] +  [(25-24.5)^2 / 24.5 ] +  [(5-10.5)^2 / 10.5]  +  [(35-40)^2 / 40]  +  [(35-28)^2 / 28]  +  [(10-12)^2 / 12]  +   [ (25-25)^2 / 25 ]  +  [(10-17.5)^2 / 17.5 ]  + [(15-7.5)^2 / 7.5]  =  17.03  

p-value = 0.0019

Df = 4  ,

The level of significance ( 0.05 ) > p-value ( 0.0019 )

B) There is no dependence between the two ratings

Because triangle XYZ is a right triangle, the side lengths must satisfy the Pythagorean theorem, a2 + b2 = c2, which in this iso
abruzzese [7]

Complete Question

Because triangle XYZ is a right triangle, the side lengths must satisfy the Pythagorean theorem, a² + b² = c², which in this isosceles triangle becomes a² + a² = c². By combining like terms, 2a² = c². Which final step will prove that the length of the hypotenuse, c, is StartRoot 2 EndRoot times the length of each leg?

a) substitute values for a and c into the original pythagorean theorem equation.

b) divide both sides of the equation by two, then determine the principal square root of both sides of the equation.

c) determine the principal square root of both sides of the equation.

d) divide both sides of the equation by 2.

Answer:

c) determine the principal square root of both sides of the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagoras Theorem for a right angled triangles states that:

a²+ b²= c²

But for an Isosceles Triangle, where two sides of the triangle are equal, we have:

a²+ a² = c²

By combining like terms

2a² = c²

We square root both sides of the equation.

√2a² = √c

√2a² = c

The final step will prove that the length of the hypotenuse, c, is StartRoot 2 EndRoot times the length of each leg = √2a² = c is Option c.

John left the museum and drove south at a rate of 55 mph. Sally left four hours later driving 10 mph faster than John in an effo
Leona [35]

Answer:

22 hours (B)

Step-by-step explanation:

John's velocity = 55mph

Sally's velocity = 65mph

John's time taken = x

Sally's time taken = x - 4

since they must cover the same distance.

and, distance = vel × time

Sally's vel × time = John's vel × time

55x = 65(x-4)

55x = 65x - 220

-10x = -220

x = 22 hours.

Therefore, Sally catches up after 22 hours
