t_n = a r^{n-1}

a = 4, r = 3, t_n = 8748

No rounding needed? It's a whole number

8748 = 4 \cdot 3^{n-1} \\
\\ \displaystyle\frac{8748}{4} = 3^{n-1} \\ \\ 
2187 = 3^{n-1} \\ \\
\log_3(2187) = n - 1 \implies n = \log_3(2187)  + 1 \implies \\ \\ \\
n = \frac{\ln 2187}{\ln 3} + 1 = 7 + 1 = 8

\displaystyle S_n=\frac{a(1-r^n)}{1-r} \implies S_8 =\displaystyle \frac{4(1 - 3^8)}{1 - 3} \\ \\ \\
= 13120

Sum is 13120

Andrews [41]

Answer:

6x^{2} - 19x + 15

Step-by-step explanation:

(2x - 3) (3x - 5)

2x(3x-5) - 3 (3x-5)

6x^{2} - 10x - 3 (3x - 5)

6x^{2} - 10x - 9x + 15

the length of a rectangle is 6 meters less than twice the width. The area of the rectangle is 140m². Find the dimensions of the
AveGali [126]

Answer:

Here's what we know:

A = Lw (Area is length times width)

L = 2w + 6 (length is twice the width plus 6)

A = 140 (Area is 140 m2)

Plug in the variable values:

140 = w(2w + 6)

Distribute:

140 = 2w2 + 6w

Subtract 140:

2w2 + 6w - 140 = 0

Factor out a 2:

2(w2 + 3w - 70) = 0

Divide both sides by 2:

w2 + 3w - 70 = 0

(w + m)(w - n)

When we factor out the quadratic, we know it's going to be a +/- situation because the c value in the quadratic is negative, and the two numbers are going to be three away, the plus next to the 3 meaning that the larger number is going to be positive:

(w + 10)(w - 7) = 0

w = -10, 7

We can't have a negative length, so we can toss out the -10, leaving us with w = 7 meters.

L = 2 * 7 + 6

L = 14 + 6

L = 20

Check:

140 = 20 * 7

140 = 140

Si elegimos un día de la semana al azar, ¿qué probabilidad hay de que sea fin de semana (ya sabemos que hay dos días…)?
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

La probabilidad que hay de que sea fin de semana es \frac{2}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

La Probabilidad es la mayor o menor posibilidad de que ocurra un determinado suceso. En otras palabras, la probabilidad establece una relación entre el número de sucesos favorables y el número total de sucesos posibles. Entonces, la probabilidad de un suceso cualquiera A se define como el cociente entre el número de casos favorables (número de casos en los que puede ocurrir o no el suceso A) y el número total de casos posibles. Esta se denomina Ley de Laplace.

P(A)=\frac{numero de casos favorables}{numero de casos posibles}

En este caso:

  • número de casos favorables: 2 (cantidad de días del fin de semana)
  • número de casos posibles: 7 (cantidad de días totales en la semana)

Reemplazando:

P(A)= \frac{2}{7}

<u><em>La probabilidad que hay de que sea fin de semana es </em></u>\frac{2}{7}<u><em></em></u>
