Answer:

Powers of the variable descending left to right
right side of the equal sign is 0

Step-by-step explanation:

For some constants a, b, and c, the standard form* is ...

ax^2 + bx + c = 0

___

It is nice if the leading coefficient (a) is positive, but that is not required.

The main ideas are that ...

Powers of the variable are descending
All of the non-zero terms are on the left side of the equal sign
Like terms are combined

_____

* This is the <em>standard form</em> for a quadratic. For other kinds of equations, when the expression is equal to zero, this would be called "general form."

Answer:

D. $y = 5\cdot \Sigma_{i=0}^{4} \left(\frac{1}{3} \right)^{i}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be $y = \Sigma_{i = 0}^{4} \left[5\cdot \left(\frac{1}{3} \right)^{i}\right]$ . To find the equivalent expression we must use the following property:

$y = c\cdot \Sigma_{i = 0}^{n} p(x) = \Sigma_{i=0}^{n} [c\cdot p(x)]$ (1)

Based on this fact, we find the following equivalence:

$y = 5\cdot \Sigma_{i=0}^{4} \left(\frac{1}{3} \right)^{i}$

Hence, the correct answer is D.

kumpel [21]

Answer:

because 8/4=2

Step-by-step explanation:

4/4=1

8/4=2

it's because the numerator is bigger if it were 6/4 it would be a mixed number but the eight goes in to 4 directly 2 time so therefore it's 2.
