Answer:

135 to nearest whole number.

Step-by-step explanation:

∑ 5(4/3)^(k-1) from k = 1 to k = 8.

First term = 5 , second term = 5*4/3

This is a Geometric series with first term a1 = 5 and common ratio r = 4/3.

The sum of n terms = a1(r^n - 1) / (r - 1).

The sum of 8 terms is given by 5 * (4/3)^8 - 1) / ( 4/3 - 1)

= 135 to the nearest whole number.

The vertices of ∆ABC are A(2, 8), B(16, 2), and C(6, 2). what is the perimeter and area in square units

ad-work [718]

Check the picture below.

the triangle has that base and that height, recall that A = 1/2 bh.

now as for the perimeter, you can pretty much count the units off the grid for the segment CB, so let's just find the lengths of AC and AB,

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points}\\\\
\begin{array}{ccccccccc}
&&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\
% (a,b)
&A&(~ 2 &,& 8~) 
% (c,d)
&C&(~ 6 &,& 2~)
\end{array}~~~ 
% distance value
d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2}
\\\\\\
AC=\sqrt{(6-2)^2+(2-8)^2}\implies AC=\sqrt{4^2+(-6)^2}
\\\\\\
AC=\sqrt{16+36}\implies AC=\sqrt{52}\implies AC=\sqrt{4\cdot 13}
\\\\\\
AC=\sqrt{2^2\cdot 13}\implies AC=2\sqrt{13}$

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points}\\\\
\begin{array}{ccccccccc}
&&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\
% (a,b)
&A&(~ 2 &,& 8~) 
% (c,d)
&B&(~ 16 &,& 2~)
\end{array}\\\\\\
AB=\sqrt{(16-2)^2+(2-8)^2}\implies AB=\sqrt{14^2+(-6)^2}
\\\\\\
AB=\sqrt{196+36}\implies AB=\sqrt{232}\implies AB=\sqrt{4\cdot 58}
\\\\\\
AB=\sqrt{2^2\cdot 58}\implies AB=2\sqrt{58}$

so, add AC + AB + CB, and that's the perimeter of the triangle.

16 ) GO...

a) 5487 × ( 65 + 35 ) = 5487 × 100 = 548700

------------------------------------------------------

b) 647 × ( 112 - 12 ) = 647 × 100 = 64700

------------------------------------------------------

c) 502 × 1,008 = ( 500 + 2 ) ( 1,000 + 8 ) = 500,000 + 4,000 + 2,000 + 16 = 506,016

____________________________

17 ) Go...

a) 585 × 16 × 625 = 585 × 4 × 4 × 25 × 25 = 585 × 4 × 25 × 4 × 25 = 585 × 100 × 100 = 5,850,000

------------------------------------------------------

b) 147 × 50 × 2 = 147 × 100 = 14,700

____________________________

18) Go...

look : 1729 = ( 1400 + 329 ) = 7 × 200 + 7 × 47 = 7 ( 200 + 47 ) = 7 × 247 = 7 × 13 × 19

____________________________

19) Go...

look : 96 = 16 × 6 = 2⁴ × 2 × 3 = 2⁵ × 3

Thus ;

the factors are : ( 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 6 , 8 , 12 , 16 , 24 , 32 , 48 , 96 )

A nine can go into a 20 two whole times. After that, there's still
some room left in the 20, but it's only enough room for a 2.
