Find the sum of the series 9+3+1+........+1/27​

Mathematics

Answer:

364/27

Step-by-step explanation:

9, 3, 1, ... is a geometric sequence with common ratio r = 1/3.

 

The nth term is a1rn-1.

 

If a1rn-1 = 1/27, then 9(1/3)n-1 = 1/27

 

                                32(3-1)n-1 = 3-3

 

                                3231-n = 3-3

 

                                    33-n = 3-3

 

                                      3-n = -3

 

                                         n = 6

 

The sum, Sn, of the first n terms of a geometric sequence is given by Sn = a1(1 - rn) / (1 - r).

 

So, 9 + 3 + 1 + ... + 1/27 = S6 = 9(1 - (1/3)6) / (1 - 1/3)

 

                                              = 9(1 - 1/729) / (2/3)

 

                                              = (27/2)(728/729) = 364/27

Using the completing-the-square method, rewrite f(x) = x2 + 10x + 7 in vertex form
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

f(x) = (x - (-5))^2 + (-18)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

f(x) = x^2 + 10x + 7

Rewrite f(x) in vertex form

Solution:

f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c is a quadratic function.

The vertex form of f(x) is a(x - h)^2 + k, where (h, k) is the vertex.

=> f(x) = x^2 + 10x + 7

          = x^2 + 10x + 25 - 18

          = (x + 5)^ - 18

          = (x - (-5))^2 + (-18)

=> f(x) can be rewritten in form of a(x - h)^2 + k, where (h, k) is the vertex, with a = 1, h = -5, k = -18

2 easy math questions!!!!!! Show work! Multiple choice!
elena55 [62]
Greetings!

<u>Question Seven:</u>
To find the slope given two points, we can use the slope formula:
m= \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

Input the points: (-11,5) (-6,1)
m= \frac{1-5}{-6-(-11)}

Simplify the equation:
m= \frac{-4}{5}

A parallel slope would be identical to this slope. 

Therefore, the answer is B:
\boxed{m_{2}= \frac{-4}{5}}

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

<u>Question Eight:</u>
This question essentially asks you to rearrange the equation into slope y-intercept form: 
y=mx+b

Rearrange the equation:
8x+7y=51

7y=-8x-51

y=\frac{-8x-51}{7}

y=\frac{-8}{7}x-\frac{51}{7}

The slope (rate of change) is \frac{-8}{7}

Therefore the answer is F:
\boxed{m=\frac{-8}{7} }

I hope this helped!
