Answer:

6 possible integers

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

A decreasing geometric sequence

Ratio = \frac{m}{7}

Required

Determine the possible integer values of m

Assume the first term of the sequence to be positive integer x;

The next sequence will be x *  \frac{m}{7}

The next will be; x *  (\frac{m}{7})^2

The nth term will be x *  (\frac{m}{7})^{n-1}

For each of the successive terms to be less than the previous term;

then \frac{m}{7} must be a proper fraction;

This implies that:

0 < m < 7

<em>Where 7 is the denominator</em>

<em>The sets of </em>0 < m < 7<em> is </em>\{1,2,3,4,5,6\}<em> and their are 6 items in this set</em>

<em>Hence, there are 6 possible integer</em>

Find the volume of the figure below. Round to the nearest tenth.
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

3057.6 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

You have a cylinder and a rectangular prism.  Solve for the area of each separately.

<u>Cylinder</u>

The formula for volume of a cylinder is V = πr²h.  The radius is 7, and the height is 7.

V = πr²h

V = π(7)²(7)

V = π(49)(7)

V = 343π

V = 1077.57 cm³

<u>Rectangular Prism</u>

The formula for volume of a rectangular prism is V = lwh.  The length is 20, the width is 11, and the height is 9.

V = lwh

V = (20)(11)(9)

V = (220)(9)

V = 1980 cm³

Add the areas of the two shapes.

1077.57 cm³ + 1980 cm³ = 3057.57 cm³

Round to the nearest tenth.

3057.57 cm³ ≈ 3057.6 cm³

Find the sum of the following series. Round to the nearest hundredth if necessary,
Aneli [31]

Answer:

sum =   \frac{a( {r}^{n - 1} )}{r - 1}   \\  : but \: l = a( {r}^{n - 1} ) \\ 49152 = 3( {2}^{n - 1} ) \\ 16384 =  {2}^{n - 1}  \\  {2}^{n}  = 32768 \\  {2}^{n}  =  {2}^{15}  \\ n = 15 \\  \therefore \: sum =  \frac{3(2 {}^{15 - 1}) }{15 - 1}  \\  =  \frac{49152}{14}  \\  = 3510.9
