For each of the finite geometric series given below, indicate the number of terms in the sum and find the sum. For the value of

the sum, enter an expression that gives the exact value, rather than entering an approximation.

Answer:

Number of term N = 9

Value of Sum = 0.186

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

Number of term N = 3 (0.5)^{5} + 3 (0.5)^{6} + 3 (0.5)^{7} + \cdots + 3 (0.5)^{13}

Number of term N = 3 (0.5)^{5} + 3 (0.5)^{6} + 3 (0.5)^{7} +3 (0.5)^{8}+3 (0.5)^{9} +3 (0.5)^{10} +3 (0.5)^{11}+3 (0.5)^{12}+ 3 (0.5)^{13}

Number of term N = 9

The Value of the sum can be determined by using the expression for geometric series:

\sum \limits ^n_{k=m}ar^k =\dfrac{a(r^m-r^{n+1})}{1-r}

here;

m = 5

n = 9

r = 0.5

Then:

\sum \limits ^n_{k=m}ar^k =\dfrac{3(0.5^5-0.5^{9+1})}{1-0.5}

\sum \limits ^n_{k=m}ar^k =\dfrac{3(0.03125-0.5^{10})}{0.5}

\sum \limits ^n_{k=m}ar^k =\dfrac{(0.09375-9.765625*10^{-4})}{0.5}

\sum \limits ^n_{k=m}ar^k =0.186

At Pizza Pi, 32% of the pizzas made last week had extra cheese. If 16 pizzas had extra cheese, how many pizzas in all were made
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

50

Step-by-step explanation:

you need to put  first the 32 on top of 100 since it always goes over 100 then you put 16 over a blank and you divide 32 by 16 which equals 2 so since you divided at the top you need to divide at the bottom so you divide 100 by 2 and you get 50 so 50 is your answer
