Find the LCM of the four numbers (3, 5, 8, 12)

3: 3

5: 5

8: 2 * 2 * 2

12: 2 * 2 * 3

LCM = 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 5

        = 120

Application of Geometric Series
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

  7.2224

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of the summation is given by the formula ...

  Sn = (a1)(1 -r^n)/(1 -r) . . . . . where a1 is the first of n terms, and r is the common ratio.

Your sum has first term and ratio ...

  a1 = 2(0.6) . . . . . summation term for n=1

  r = 0.6

So the sum is ...

  \displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^4{2(0.6^n)}=2(0.6)\dfrac{1-0.6^4}{1-0.6}=\dfrac{1.2}{0.4}(0.8704) = 2.6112

Then the value of the entire given expression is ...

  \displaystyle 2+2\sum_{n=1}^4{}2(0.6^n)=2+2(2.6112)=\boxed{7.2224}

_____

A calculator can help you find the value.

My name is Ann [436]

(1) The train travels 4 miles per gallon.

(2) The slope of the graph is m=\frac{1}{4}

Explanation:

(1) The miles that train travels per gallon is given by

Miles= \frac{800}{200}

Dividing, we have,

Miles= 4

Thus, the train travels 4 miles per gallon.

(2) To determine the slope, let us consider two points from the graph.

The coordinates are (0,0) and (800,200)

Thus, substituting the coordinates in the slope formula, we get,

m=\frac{200-0}{800-0}

Simplifying, we have,

m=\frac{200}{800} =\frac{1}{4}

Thus, the slope of the graph is m=\frac{1}{4}

Answer:

The point ( 0,-1) is a solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

y<= (x+1) (x+5)

y>= (x-1)^2 -6


See attached graph.


To prove algebraically, put the point (0,-1) into both equations and see if it is true for both of them.

y<= (x+1) (x+5)

-1 <= (0+1) (0+5)

-1<= 1*5

-1 <=5

True

y>= (x-1)^2 -6

-1 >= (-1)^2 -6

-1 >= 1-6

-1 >=-5

True

The point is a solution
