Answer:

y = -13

Step-by-step explanation:

3(y + 5) - (4y - 8) = -2y + 10

3y + 15 - 4y + 8 = -2y + 10

Collect like terms

3y - 4y + 2y = 10 - 15 - 8

y = -13

We see that they are made up of identical squares, meaning that each side of each square is the same length. There are 12 square sides that make up the perimeter of A, so we can do 72/12 which is 6. We see there are ten total square lengths on the perimeter of b, so we can do 6 times 10 which is 60 cm. That’s your perimeter.

Evaluate each finite series for the specified number of terms. 1+2+4+...;n=5

zaharov [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The series are given as geometric series because these terms have common ratio and not common difference.

Our common ratio is 2 because:

1*2 = 2

2*2 = 4

The summation formula for geometric series (r ≠ 1) is:

$\displaystyle \large{S_n=\frac{a_1(r^n-1)}{r-1}}$ or $\displaystyle \large{S_n=\frac{a_1(1-r^n)}{1-r}}$

You may use either one of these formulas but I’ll use the first formula.

We are also given that n = 5, meaning we are adding up 5 terms in the series, substitute n = 5 in along with r = 2 and first term = 1.

$\displaystyle \large{S_5=\frac{1(2^5-1)}{2-1}}\\\displaystyle \large{S_5=\frac{2^5-1}{1}}\\\displaystyle \large{S_5=2^5-1}\\\displaystyle \large{S_5=32-1}\\\displaystyle \large{S_5=31}$

Therefore, the solution is 31.

Summary

If the sequence has common ratio then the sequence or series is classified as geometric sequence/series.

Common Ratio can be found by either multiplying terms with common ratio to get the exact next sequence which can be expressed as $\displaystyle \large{a_{n-1} \cdot r = a_n}$ meaning “previous term times ratio = next term” or you can also get the next term to divide with previous term which can be expressed as:
