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

Graph the line for <br> y+1=−3/5(x−4)<br> on the coordinate plane.
Naddika [18.5K]
Please enclose that -3/5 in parentheses:  <span>y+1= (−3/5)(x−4)
</span>
Let's use the intercept method to graph this line.
First, set x = 0 and find y; this y will be the y-coordinate of the vertical intercept:

y+1= (−3/5)(0−4)  =>  y = -1 + 12/5 = -5/5 + 12/5 = 7/5.  Plot (0, 7/5).

Next, set y = 0 and find x; this will give us the coordinate of the horiz. int.:

0+1= (−3/5)(x−4) => -5/3 = x - 4, or x = 4- 5/3, or  x = 7/3.  Plot (7/3, 0).

Now draw a straight line thru these two points.

Find a range of th fucunction f(x)=4x-1 for the domain{-1,0,1,2,3}
vlada-n [284]
F(x) = 4x - 1

All you have to do is substitute the values in the domain for x in the function.

f(-1) = 4(-1) - 1
f(-1) = -4 - 1
f(-1) = -5

f(0) = 4(0) - 1
f(0) = -1

f(1) = 4(1) - 1
f(1) = 4 - 1
f(1) = 3

And so on.
