We know that
a1=1
a2=3
a3=9
a2/a1=3/1----> 3
a3/a2=9/3----> 3
<span>common ration r is equal to 3
number of terms n  is 12

The </span><span>Sum of geometric series is given by the formula
</span>Sum=a1*[1-r<span>^n]/[1-r]
</span>Sum=1*[1-3^12]/[1-3]-----> Sum=[1-3^12]/[1-3]----> [3^12-1]/[3-1]
<span>Sum=531440/2-----> 265720

the answer is
265720

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

10 ft to nearest foot.

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the Pythagoras theorem:

12^2 = 6^2 + h^2    where h is the height on the barn

h^2 = 12^2 - 6^2

h^2 = 144 - 36 = 102

h= √108 = 10.39

How do you factor this in the form (x+b)(x+c)
faust18 [17]
So you have your polynomial. To factor this out, you need to find the factors of -45 that will add up to 3. These two factors would be -5 and 8. So, you have factored your polynomial! (x-5)(x+8). If you are still unsure, simply use the FOIL method to check and see if you get the same polynomial back. Hope this helps!
