How many terms are there in a geometric series if the first term is 4, the common ration is 3 and the sum of the series is 160

Marina CMI [18]

$\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{sum of a finite geometric sequence}
\\\\
S_n=\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n}\ a_1\cdot r^{i-1}\implies S_n=a_1\left( \cfrac{1-r^n}{1-r} \right)\quad 
\begin{cases}
n=n^{th}\ term\\
a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\
r=\textit{common ratio}\\
----------\\
a_1=4\\
r=3\\
S_n=160
\end{cases}$

$\bf 160=4\left( \cfrac{1-3^n}{1-3} \right)\implies 160=4\left( \cfrac{1-3^n}{-2} \right)\implies 160=-2(1-3^n)
\\\\\\
160=2(3^n-1)\implies \cfrac{160}{2}=3^n-1\implies 80=3^n-1
\\\\\\
81=3^n~~
\begin{cases}
81=3\cdot 3\cdot 3\cdot 3\\
\qquad 3^4
\end{cases}\implies 3^4=3^n\implies 4=n$

What is the square root of 5x^2 = 300

vesna_86 [32]

So, values of x are: $x=2\sqrt{15},\,\,x=-2\sqrt{15}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the square root of 5x^2 = 300

Writing in mathematical form:

$5x^2=300$

Divide both sides by 5

$\frac{5x^2}{5}=\frac{300}{5}$

$x^2=60$

Taking square root on both sides

$\sqrt{x^2}=\sqrt{60}$

$x=\pm (\sqrt{2\times 2\times 3\times 5})$

$x=\pm (\sqrt{2^2 \times 3\times 5})$

$x=\pm (2\sqrt{3\times 5})$

$x=\pm (2\sqrt{15})$

$x=2\sqrt{15},\,\,x=-2\sqrt{15}$

So, values of x are: $x=2\sqrt{15},\,\,x=-2\sqrt{15}$

What value of b will cause the system to have an infinite number of solutions?

irga5000 [103]

b must be equal to -6 for infinitely many solutions for system of equations $y = 6x + b$ and $-3 x+\frac{1}{2} y=-3$

<u>Solution: </u>

Need to calculate value of b so that given system of equations have an infinite number of solutions

$\begin{array}{l}{y=6 x+b} \\\\ {-3 x+\frac{1}{2} y=-3}\end{array}$

Let us bring the equations in same form for sake of simplicity in comparison

$\begin{array}{l}{y=6 x+b} \\\\ {\Rightarrow-6 x+y-b=0 \Rightarrow (1)} \\\\ {\Rightarrow-3 x+\frac{1}{2} y=-3} \\\\ {\Rightarrow -6 x+y=-6} \\\\ {\Rightarrow -6 x+y+6=0 \Rightarrow(2)}\end{array}$

Now we have two equations

$\begin{array}{l}{-6 x+y-b=0\Rightarrow(1)} \\\\ {-6 x+y+6=0\Rightarrow(2)}\end{array}$

Let us first see what is requirement for system of equations have an infinite number of solutions

If $a_{1} x+b_{1} y+c_{1}=0$ and $a_{2} x+b_{2} y+c_{2}=0$ are two equation

$\Rightarrow \frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}}=\frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}}=\frac{c_{1}}{c_{2}}$ then the given system of equation has no infinitely many solutions.

In our case,

$\begin{array}{l}{a_{1}=-6, \mathrm{b}_{1}=1 \text { and } c_{1}=-\mathrm{b}} \\\\ {a_{2}=-6, \mathrm{b}_{2}=1 \text { and } c_{2}=6} \\\\ {\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}}=\frac{-6}{-6}=1} \\\\ {\frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}}=\frac{1}{1}=1} \\\\ {\frac{c_{1}}{c_{2}}=\frac{-b}{6}}\end{array}$

As for infinitely many solutions $\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}}=\frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}}=\frac{c_{1}}{c_{2}}$

$\begin{array}{l}{\Rightarrow 1=1=\frac{-b}{6}} \\\\ {\Rightarrow6=-b} \\\\ {\Rightarrow b=-6}\end{array}$

Hence b must be equal to -6 for infinitely many solutions for system of equations $y = 6x + b$ and $-3 x+\frac{1}{2} y=-3$
