Find the sum of the first five terms using the geometric series formula for the sequence 1/2, -1,2,-4…

sammy [17]

The sum of the first five terms is 11/2

<h3>How to determine the sum?</h3>

The series is given as:

1/2, -1,2,-4…

Calculate the common ratio of the series using

r = -4/2

Evaluate

r = -2

The sum is then calculated as:

$S_n = a\frac{1 - r^n}{1 - r}$

This gives

$S_n = \frac{1}{2} * \frac{(1 - (-2)^5}{1 + 2}$

Evaluate

$S_n = \frac{1}{2} * \frac{33)}{3}$

Evaluate

$S_n =\frac{11}{2}$

Hence, the sum of the first five terms is 11/2

The graphs of the polar curves r = 4 and r = 3 + 2cosθ are shown in the figure above. The curves intersect at θ = π/3 and θ = 5π

Gennadij [26K]

(a)

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int_{\frac{\pi}{3}}^{\frac{5\pi}{3}} \left(4^2 - (3 + 2\cos\theta)^2 \right) \, d\theta$

or, via symmetry

$\displaystyle\frac{1}{2} \cdot 2 \int_{\frac{\pi}{3}}^{\pi} \left(4^2 - (3 + 2\cos\theta)^2 \right) \, d\theta$

____________

(b)

By the chain rule:

$\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{ dy/ d\theta}{ dx/ d\theta}$

For polar coordinates, x = rcosθ and y = rsinθ. Since
<span>r = 3 + 2cosθ, it follows that

$x = (3 + 2\cos\theta) \cos \theta \\ 
y = (3 + 2\cos\theta) \sin \theta$

Differentiating with respect to theta

$\begin{aligned}
\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx} &= \frac{ dy/ d\theta}{ dx/ d\theta} \\
&= \frac{(3 + 2\cos\theta)(\cos\theta) + (-2\sin\theta)(\sin\theta)}{(3 + 2\cos\theta)(-\sin\theta) + (-2\sin\theta)(\cos\theta)} \\ \\
\left.\frac{dy}{dx}\right_{\theta = \frac{\pi}{2}}
&= 2/3
\end{aligned}$

2/3 is the slope

"</span><span>distance between the particle and the origin increases at a constant rate of 3 units per second" implies dr/dt = 3

A</span>ngle θ and r are related via <span>r = 3 + 2cosθ, so implicitly differentiating with respect to time

</span><span /> $\displaystyle\frac{dr}{dt} = -2\sin\theta \frac{d\theta}{dt} \quad \stackrel{\theta = \pi/3}{\implies} \quad 3 = -2\left( \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}\right) \frac{d\theta}{dt} \implies \\ \\ \frac{d\theta}{dt} = -\sqrt{3} \text{ radians per second}$

Miriam is setting up a fishing game in a kiddie pool for her niece's birthday party. The pool has a circular base with a diamete

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

4.7 feet³ of water

Step-by-step explanation:

Diameter of 4 feet

Radius = 2 feet

Height = 0.75 feet

Formula for Volume = 2· $\pi$ ·radius·height

But she only wants to fill half, so divide by 2, cancels the 2 in the formula for volume, giving us: $\pi$ ·radius·height

$\pi$ ·2·0.75 = 4.71 feet³
