In the geometric progression 1, 2, 4… what term is 512?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Levart [38]3 years ago
8 0

The next term is double the previous term, so that the n-th term is given recursively by

\begin{cases}a_1=1\\a_n=2a_{n-1}&\text{for }n>1\end{cases}

This rule tells us that

a_2=2a_1

a_3=2a_2=2^2a_1

a_4=2a_3=2^3a_1

and so on, with the explicit rule

a_n=2^{n-1}a_1=2^{n-1}

for n\ge1.

If 512 is the k-th term in the sequence, then

512=2^{k-1}\implies\log_2512=\log_22^9=\log_22^{k-1}\implies9=k-1\implies k=10

An artist creates a right prism whose base are regular pentagons. He wants to paints the lateral surfaces of the prism. One can
Usimov [2.4K]
He needs 13 cans of paint.

The lateral area is given by the area of 5 rectangles, whose dimensions are 15 by 5:
5(15)(5) = 375

Divide this by 30:
375/30 = 12.5 ≈ 13

What is the best estimate of the sum of the fraction? 31/4 +17/3 +8/18
Bogdan [553]

The best estimate of the sum of the expression given is \rm 13 \dfrac {31}{26}

What is a Fraction ?

A fraction is written as p/q , where q \rm \ne 0

It is asked to determine the sum of the fraction

31/4 + 17/3 + 8/18

Taking the LCM of 4 , 3 , 18

LCM of 4 , 3 ,18 is 36

Therefore

\rm \dfrac{ 31 *9 + 17 *12 + 8 *2}{36 }

(279+204+16) /36

499 / 36

\rm 13 \dfrac {31}{26}

Therefore the best estimate of the sum of the expression given is \rm 13 \dfrac {31}{26}.
