Answer: 7 gallons; 14 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount of water in the first container be x.

Since one container holds 2 times as much as the other, the second container will be: = x × 2 = 2x

The total amount of water is 21 gallons. This means:

x + 2x = 21

3x = 21

x = 7 gallons

First container = 7 gallons

Second container= 2x = 2×7 = 14 gallons

How is the sum expressed in sigma notation? <br> 1/64+1/16+1/4 + 1 + 4
shusha [124]

Answer:

  sum = ∑[n=1,5] 4^(n-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, you need to be able to describe the n-th term.

Here, we  have ...

  term #: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

  value: 4^-3, 4^-2, 4^-1, 4^0, 4^1

That is, the exponent of 4 is 4 less than the term number. So, the n-th term is 4^(n-4). The sum of the 5 terms shown is then ...

  \displaystyle sum=\sum_{n=1}^5{4^{n-4}}

What is the perimeter of a square which has the same area as a circle with circumference of 4π?
Contact [7]
The circumference of a circle is given by: 2πr, where r is the radius of the circle. Equating 4π, we have 2πr = 4π so the radius of the circle is: r = 4/2 = 2. Then, the area of the circle is given by πr ^ 2 = π * (2 ^ 2) = 4π.Since the square and the circle have the same area, then: Let L be the side of the square, we have:  L ^ 2 = 4π, clearing L = 2 * (π ^ (1/2))The perimeter of a square is the sum of its sides:  P = L + L + L + L = 2 * (π ^ (1/2)) + 2 * (π ^ (1/2)) + 2 * (π ^ (1/2)) + 2 * (π) ^ (1/2))  P = 8 * (π ^ (1/2))
