The sum of the first n terms in a geometric sequence given the first term (a1) and the common ratio (r) is calculated through the equation,

                            <span>Sn </span>= (<span><span><span>a1</span>(1−<span>r^n</span>) / (</span><span>1−r)

Substituting the known terms,
                           Sn = (20)(1 - (1/4)^4)) / (1 - 1/4)
                           Sn = 26.5625

Thus, the sum of the first four terms is 26.5625. </span></span>

How many solutions does the following equation have 3(X + 9) = 2x + 54
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

One solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x + 9) = 2x + 54

3x + 27 = 2x + 54

3x + 27 - 2x = 2x + 54 - 2x

x + 27 = 54

x + 27 - 27 = 54 - 27

x = 27

Given: △DMN, DM=10 3 m∠M=75°, m∠N=45° Find: Perimeter of △DMN
OlgaM077 [116]

Angle D is 180° -75° -45° = 60°. Drawing altitude MX to segment DN divides the triangle into ΔMDX, a 30°-60°-90° triangle, and ΔMNX, a 45°-45°-90° triangle. We know the side ratios of such triangles (shortest-to-longest) are ...

... 30-60-90: 1 : √3 : 2

... 45-45-90: 1 : 1 : √2

The long side of ΔMDX is 10√3, so the other two sides are

... MX = MD(√3/2) = 15

... DX = MD(1/2) = 5√3

The short side of ΔMNX is MX = 15, so the other two sides are

... NX = MX(1) = 15

... MN = MX(√2) = 15√2

Then the perimeter of ΔDMN is ...

... P = DM + MN + NX + XD

... P = 10√3 +15√2 + 15 + 5√3

... P = 15√3 +15√2 +15 . . . . perimeter of ΔDMN
