I am standing 10 feet from a wall. I will begin to walk toward the wall and my first step is 4 feet. Each succeeding step is exa

ctly one half the distance of the prior step. So my next step would be 2 feet, then 1 foot etc. How many steps will it take me to reach the wall?

Answer:

Never!

Step-by-step explanation:

Since each succeeding step is exactly 1/2 of the prior step, you have created an infinite geometric series that goes like 4, 2, 1, 1/2, 1/4... The formula for the sum of an infinite geometric series is a/(1-r), where a is the first term and r is the common ratio. Plugging this in, a/(1-r) = 4(1-1/2) = 4/(1/2) = 8. Therefore, you can only travel 8 feet in total and will never! reach the wall.

Draw graphs of the following lines: The line through (-5, 2) having the slope of -3
Ivanshal [37]
What you want to do here is take this information and plug it into point-slope form. any time you're given a point and a slope, you generally want to plug it into this equation: y - y1 = m(x - x1).

in this equation, m is your slope and (x1, y1) is a given point. plug in your info--slope of -3 and (-5, 2).

y - 2 = -3(x + 5)

that is the equation of your line. however, if you want to graph it, this doesn't really make much sense to you. convert it to slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, by solving for y.

y - 2 = -3(x + 5) ... distribute -3
y - 2 = -3x - 15 ... add 2
y = -3x - 13 is your equation.

to graph this, and any other y = mx + b equation, you want to start with your y-intercept if it's present. your y intercept here is -13, which means the line you wasn't to graph crosses the y-axis at y = -13, or (0, -13). put a point there.

after you've plotted that point, you use your slope to graph more. remember that your slope is "rise over run"--you rise up/go down however many units, you run left/right however many units. if your slope is -3, you want to go down 3 units, then go to the right 1 unit. remember that whole numbers have a 1 beneath them as a fraction. -3/1 is your rise over 1.

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

\frac{25}{144}

Step-by-step explanation:

(\frac{7 * 5 * 2}{7 * 3} )^2 * (\frac{5^0}{2^-3})^3 * 2^{-9}

Simplified becomes;

(\frac{10}{3})^2 * 2^3 * \frac{1}{2^9}

Simplifying further gives; \frac{25}{144}

Round 0.5289 to the nearest thousandth.
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

0.5289 to the nearest thousandth is 0.529.

Step-by-step explanation: If a number is less than 5, round down, but if a number is 5 or more, round up. The digit after the thousandths place is the digit we should look at to answer the question and it is 9, so we round up from 0.528 or 0.529. So, the answer is 0.529.
