Answer:

-1066.65 to 2 decimal places.

Step-by-step explanation:

(−800)+(−200)+(−50)+(−12.5)+...

This is a Geometric series with common ratio r =(-200) / ) / (-800) = 0.25 and first term a1 = -800.

Sum of n terms = a1 * (1 - r^n) / (1 - r)

Sum of 8 terms = -800 * (1 - 0.25^8) / (1 - 0.25)

= -800 * 1.333313

= -1066.65.

If f(x) = 3x + 3, g(x) = 3x + 3, and h(x) = x + 3, what is [g o f o h](–5)?

emmasim [6.3K]

The answer would be -6.
Start by substituting -5 into the 'h' function.
h(-5) = -5 + 3 = -2
Now substitute this answer into the 'f' function.
f(-2) = 3(-2) + 3 = -3
now substitute this answer into the 'g' function
g(-3) = 3(-3) + 3 = -6
D is your answer

Prove that root 7 is irrational by the method of contradiction

Alchen [17]

Let assume that $\sqrt7$ is a rational number. Therefore it can be expressed as a fraction $\dfrac{a}{b}$ where $a,b\in\mathbb{Z}$ and $\text{gcd}(a,b)=1$ .
