<h3>Answer: C) -81/2</h3>

===================================================

Work Shown:

a = -27 = first term

r = 1/3 = common ratio, note how this is between -1 and 1

We start with -27 and multiply by 1/3 each time to get the next term

S = infinite sum

S = a/(1-r), which only works because -1 < r < 1 is true

S = -27/(1-1/3)

S = -27/(2/3)

S = (-27/1) divided by (2/3)

S = (-27/1) times (3/2)

S = (-27*3)/(1*2)

S = -81/2

As you generate and add up the terms of the sequence, the infinite sum slowly starts to approach -81/2 = -40.5; we'll never actually achieve this sum exactly. Think of it as approaching an asymptote.

The volume of this cone is 602.88 cubic inches. What is the radius of this cone?
choli [55]

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a cone formula: V = \pi r^{2} \frac{h}{3}

where,

h is the height             <u>9 in  (assuming)</u>

r is the radius              <u>want</u>

v is the volume           <u> 602.88 cubic inches</u>

\pi is                              <u>a = 3.14 </u>

Plug in everything:

602.88 = 3.14r^{2} (\frac{9}{3} )\\602.88 = 3.14r^{2} (3)\\1808.64 = 28.26r^{2}\\\frac{1808.64}{28.26} = \frac{28.26r^{2}}{28.26} \\r^{2} = 64\\r = \sqrt{64} \\r = 8\\or\\r =-8

440 repeat 11 more times.

400+(400*.1)=440 repeat 11 more times. Remember to use a new value each time.

Vacations can get expensive fast. The average cost per person for a week-long vacation is about $1,200 annually. So, if you've got a family of five, you'll need to sock away at least $6,000 for transportation, hotels, meals, and amusement parks.

Financial experts suggest that the average family vacation costs between 5-10% of your total income. If your family makes $40,000 per year then experts say your yearly family vacation budget should average between $2,000-$4000.
