I agree with the 14x all right, but the remainder of the other part is 178. I'm going to recheck my answer. I'm not confident about using synthetic division for this question. It is 57 years since I did something like this. If I was more confident, I would list the results of synthetic division because it is much easier to show than long division. I'm saying the answer should be 14x + 178.
The wording of this question is a bit confusing... You can't write a sequence in sigma notation, but rather a series or sum. I think the question is asking you to write the sum of the sequence,
which would be
in sigma notation.
To do this, notice that the denominator in each term is a power of 2, starting with 
and ending with 
. So in sigma notation, this series is
Answer:
4 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
2 will cook together for 1 minute. and it will take an additional 2 minutes to cook the 3rd pancake.
If the ratio of red marbles to blue marbles in a jar is 3 to 8, the meaning is for every 3 red marbles there are 8 blue marbles.
3 red marbles------------------8 blue marbles.
ratio=3/8
we have 40 blue marbles; we have to compute the number of red marbles.
1) Method 1; by the rule three.
3 red marbles-----------------8 blue marbles
x----------------------------------40 blue marbles
x=(3 red marbles * 40 blue marbles) / 8 blue marbles=15 red marbles.
answer: B. 15
Method 2: the ratio of red marbles to blue marbles is
ratio=number of red marbles / number of blue marbles
ratio=3/8
if we want to compute the number of red marbles we have to multiply the number of blue marbles by this ratio.
number of red marbles=ratio (red/blue)* number of blue marbles
number of red marbles=(3/8)*40=15
Answer: B.15
