Rewrite 2/5 book over 1/2 as a unit rate

What is the area of a rectangle if it is 1/2 of a meter long and 3/8 of a meter wide?

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

Area equals to 3/16

Step-by-step explanation:

You can compute this with the easiest way,that is with formula

Area=LENGTH×WIDTH

So,1/2 × 3/8=3/16

"assume that josh throws the discus 36 times. let y denote the sum of the lengths of the 36 throws.

cluponka [151]

<span>Assuming that Josh throws the discus 36 times, the expected value of y will be the length each discus reaches for each throw all added together. Specifically, it will be discus throw one, plus discus throw two -- all the way to discus throw thirty-six. Adding all of those throws together will provide the expected value of Y.</span>

Evaluate each finite series for the specified number of terms. 1+2+4+...;n=5

zaharov [31]

Answer:

31

Step-by-step explanation:

The series are given as geometric series because these terms have common ratio and not common difference.

Our common ratio is 2 because:

1*2 = 2

2*2 = 4

The summation formula for geometric series (r ≠ 1) is:

$\displaystyle \large{S_n=\frac{a_1(r^n-1)}{r-1}}$ or $\displaystyle \large{S_n=\frac{a_1(1-r^n)}{1-r}}$

You may use either one of these formulas but I’ll use the first formula.

We are also given that n = 5, meaning we are adding up 5 terms in the series, substitute n = 5 in along with r = 2 and first term = 1.

$\displaystyle \large{S_5=\frac{1(2^5-1)}{2-1}}\\\displaystyle \large{S_5=\frac{2^5-1}{1}}\\\displaystyle \large{S_5=2^5-1}\\\displaystyle \large{S_5=32-1}\\\displaystyle \large{S_5=31}$

Therefore, the solution is 31.

Summary

If the sequence has common ratio then the sequence or series is classified as geometric sequence/series.

Common Ratio can be found by either multiplying terms with common ratio to get the exact next sequence which can be expressed as $\displaystyle \large{a_{n-1} \cdot r = a_n}$ meaning “previous term times ratio = next term” or you can also get the next term to divide with previous term which can be expressed as:

$\displaystyle \large{r=\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}}$

Once knowing which sequence or series is it, apply an appropriate formula for the series. For geometric series, apply the following three formulas:

$\displaystyle \large{S_n=\frac{a_1(r^n-1)}{r-1}}\\\displaystyle \large{S_n=\frac{a_1(1-r^n)}{1-r}}$

Above should be applied for series that have common ratio not equal to 1.

$\displaystyle \large{S_n=a_1 \cdot n}$

Above should be applied for series that have common ratio exactly equal to 1.
