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

Remove the brackets and simplify
Komok [63]

Answer:

5x - 7 {x}^{2}  -  {(2x)}^{2}  \\  = ( {2}^{2}  {x}^{2} ) - 7 {x}^{2}  + 5x \\  = 4 {x}^{2}  - 7 {x}^{2}  + 5x \\  = x(4x - 7x + 5) \\  = x( 5 - 3x) \\  = { \underline{ \underline{ \:  \:  5x - 3 {x}^{2}  \:  \: }}}

6 points Emily’s family needs to rent a moving truck to move their belongings to a different house. The rental cost for Trucks-A
Alexxx [7]

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

Equation to represent the daily rental cost for each type of truck can be written as follows:

Daily rental cost for Trucks-A-Lot = 42 + 0.72m

Daily rental cost for Move-in-Truckers = 70 + 0.12m

Where, m = Emily's mileage

To determine the number of miles for which the truck cost the same amount, set both equations equal to each other and solve for m.

42 + 0.72m = 70 + 0.12m

Collect like terms

0.72m - 0.12m = 70 - 42

0.6m = 28

Divide both sides by 0.6

\frac{0.6m}{0.6} = \frac{28}{0.6}

m = 46.7

At approximately 47 miles, both trucks would cost the same amount.

Check:

Daily rental cost for Trucks-A-Lot = 42 + 0.72m

Plug in the value of x = 47

= 42 + 0.72(47) = $75.84 ≈ $76

Daily rental cost for Move-in-Truckers = 70 + 0.12m

Plug in the value of x = 47

= 70 + 0.12(47) = $75.64 ≈ $76
