Answer:

answer is 90 for first term

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the terms be  

First term x

We will use the formula s∞=x/1−r to find the sum of an infinite geometric series, where −1<r<1.  

We know the sum and the common ratio, so we'll be solving for x where r =4/5

s∞=x/1−r

450=x/1−4/5

450=x/1/5

450=5x

x=90

this is the first term x1 = 90

we know that common ratio is 4/5, so multiplying the first term by factor 4/5 to get the second term  

90 x 4/5=   72 second term

Answer:

C) 90

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of an infinite geometric series is:

S = a₁ / (1 − r)

where a₁ is the first term and r is the common ratio.

450 = a₁ / (1 − 4/5)

450 = a₁ / (1/5)

450 = 5a₁

a₁ = 90

In a study relating the degree of warping, in mm, of a copper plate (y) to temperature in °C (x), the following summary statisti
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

a)

y = 0.3035 + 0.0082x

b)

0.6315 mm

c)

x = 23.9634 °C

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Compute the least-squares line for predicting warping from temperature. Round the answers to four decimal places.

We need to find an equation of the form

y = b + mx

where m is the slope and b the Y-intercept.

The slope m can be computed with the formula

\bf m=\displaystyle\frac{\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^n(x_i-\bar x)(y_i-\bar y)}{\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^n(x_i-\bar x)^2}

Replacing the values in our formula (we will round at the end of the calculations)

\bf m=\displaystyle\frac{806.94}{98,775}=0.008169476

the Y-intercept b is computed with the formula

\bf b=\bar y-m\bar x

therefore we have

\bf b=0.5188-0.008169476*26.36=0.303452613

and the least-squares line rounded to 4 decimals would be

y = 0.3035 + 0.0082x

b. Predict the warping at a temperature of 40°C. Round the answer to three decimal places.

We simply replace x with 40 to get

y = 0.3035 + 0.0082*40 = 0.6315 mm

c. At what temperature will we predict the warping to be 0.5 mm? Round the answer to two decimal places

Here, we replace y with 0.5 and solve for x

0.5 = 0.3035 + 0.0082x ===> x = (0.5-0.3035)/0.0082 ===>

 

x = 23.9634 °C

A boy purchased(bought) a party length sandwich 59 in long. He wants to cut it into three pieces so that the middle piece is 6in
Leviafan [203]
Ok so let's start with what we know- the shortest piece is 8 inches so there's one length... then the middle piece is 6 inches longer than the shortest (6+ 8) so the middle piece would be 14 inches long. To find the last piece we can add up the other two pieces we know (14+8) which would be 22 and subtract that from how long the whole sandwich is (59-22) which would be 37 inches long. So in the end he shortest piece would be 8 inches, the middle 14 inches and the longest 37 inches.
