Answer:

1023.75

Step-by-step explanation:

sum = a( 1 - r^n) / (1-r)

a1 = 512

n = 12

r = 256 / 512 = 1/2

                              512 (1 - 1/2¹²)

therefore.. sum =  ------------------ = 1023.75

                                   1 - 1/2

Answer:

1023.75

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of a geometric sequence is

sum = a( 1 - r^n) / (1-r)

where a is the first term  r is the common ratio and  r^n is the nth term

We need to find the common ratio

r = 256/512 = 1/2

sum = 512 ( 1 - 1/2^12) / ( 1-1/2)

       =512( 1-.000244141) / (.5)

       =512(.999755859) /.5

     =1023.75

I need help solving this problem
Elena L [17]
Use the given values in the compound interest formula to solve for time, n.

A is the final amount of money, $2800
P is the initial or starting amount $1900
i is the interest rate as a decimal 0.025
n is time in years since it annual.

2800 = 1900(1 + 0.025)^n

2800 = 1900(1.025)^n

2800/1900 = (1.025)^n

28/19 = (1.025)^n

take the natural log of both sides to solve for exponent.

ln(28/19) = ln(1.025^n)

power rule of logarithmic moves exponent

ln(28/19) = n*ln(1.025)

ln(28/19) / ln(1.025) = n

put into a calculator

15.7 years = n

Which of the following are vertical asymptotes of the function y = 2cot(3x) + 4? Check all that apply. A.x = pi/3 B.x = +/- pi/2
Kisachek [45]
Vertical asymptotes occur when the denominator of a rational is 0, whilst not zeroing out the numerator, making the rational, undefined, in this case

\bf y=2cot(3x)+4\implies y=2\cdot \cfrac{cos(3x)}{sin(3x)}+4\impliedby \textit{if \underline{sin(3x)} turns to 0}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\textit{let's check}
\\\\\\
A)\qquad \cfrac{cos(3x)}{sin\left( 3\frac{\pi }{3} \right)}\implies \cfrac{cos(3x)}{sin\left( \pi \right)}\implies \cfrac{cos(3x)}{0}\impliedby unde f ined

\bf B)\qquad \cfrac{cos(3x)}{sin\left( 3\frac{\pm\pi }{2} \right)}\implies\cfrac{cos(3x)}{sin\left( \frac{\pm3\pi }{2} \right)}\implies \cfrac{cos(3x)}{\pm 1}\implies \pm cos(3x)
\\\\\\
C)\qquad \cfrac{cos(3x)}{sin\left( 3(2\pi )\right)}\implies \cfrac{cos(3x)}{sin(6\pi )}\implies \cfrac{cos(3x)}{0}\impliedby unde f ined
\\\\\\
D)\qquad \cfrac{cos(3x)}{sin(3(0))}\implies \cfrac{cos(3x)}{sin(0)}\implies \cfrac{cos(3x)}{0}\impliedby unde f ined

Solve the following system of equations algebraically:<br> Y = x^2 + 8x – 9<br> Y = 2x + 7
julia-pushkina [17]
Use simultaneous equations:
2x + 7 = x^2 + 8x - 9
7 = x^2 + 6x - 9
16 = x^2 + 6x
+ or - 4 = 7x
answer is
-4/7 or 4/7
