-- The area of the long skinny piece on top is (6 x 33) = 198
-- The length of the dotted line between the top and bottom pieces is (33-21) = 12
-- The area of the bottom piece is (12 x 15) = 180
-- The area of the whole thing is (198 + 180) = 378
-- The perimeter of the whole thing is (33 + 6 + 21 + 15 + 12 + 15 + 6) = 108
Answer:
x = -1 or x = -7
Step-by-step explanation:
y = (x + 4)^2 - 9
To find x-intercept, set y = 0
=> (x + 4)^2 - 9 = 0
=> ( x + 1)( x + 7) = 0
=> x = -1 or x = -7
Answer:15
Step-by-step explanation:trust me
It's evident that the first four terms are 4, 4/3, 4/9, and 4/27. So the fourth partial sum of the series is

It's as easy as adding up the fractions, but I bet this is supposed to be an exercise in taking advantage of the fact that the series is geometric and use the well-known formula for computing such a sum.
Multiply the sum by 1/3 and you have

Now subtracting this from

gives

That is, all the matching terms will cancel. Now solving for

, you
have
