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

as Saturn revolves around the sun, it travels at a speed of approximately 6 miles per second. convert this speed to miles per mi
3241004551 [841]

Given:

Speed = 6 miles per second

If the Saturn revolves 6 miles in 1 second then the speed is:

\begin{gathered} In\text{ 1 second distance is 6 miles} \\ So\text{ in 60 second distance is =6}\times60\text{ miles} \\ =360 \end{gathered}

So speed in minutes is 360 miles per min.

In 3 minutes traveling distance is:

\begin{gathered} =360\times3 \\ =1080 \end{gathered}

What is the total number of outcomes for choosing a numbered card from 1 to 10 and a number on a
ycow [4]

the total number of out comes would be 16^2 or 256.

some extra things...

A numbered card from 1 - 10 would be 1 over 10 or 10% chance of picking correctly.

a number cube from 1 - 6 would be 1 over 6 or 16.66% chance of picking correctly.

if you want to combine these and pick one from both, it becomes 1 over 16 or 6.25% chance of picking both correctly.

If cos theta = -3/5 in quadrant 2, what is sin theta?
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

hello : sin(θ) = 4/25

Step-by-step explanation:

you know : cos²(θ) + sin²(θ) =1   and : cos(θ) = - 3/5

(-3/5)² + sin²(θ) =1

9/25 + sin²(θ) =1

sin²(θ) =1 -9/25

sin²(θ) = 16/25

sin(θ) = 4/25 or sin(θ) = - 4/25

in quadrant 2 :  sin(θ) > 0

so : sin(θ) = 4/25
