The sum of the first 6 terms of a geometric series is

Mathematics
1 answer:
jekas [21]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum to n terms of a geometric sequence is

S_{n} = \frac{a(r^n-1)}{r-1}

where a is the first term and r the common ratio

Here r = 5 and a has to be found, thus

S_{6} = \frac{a(5^6-1)}{5-1}, so

\frac{a(15625-1)}{4} = 15624

Multiply both sides by 4

15624a = 62496 ( divide both sides by 15624

a = 4

A STUDENT FINISHES THEIR FISR HALF OF AN EXAM IN 2/3 THE TIME IT TAKES HIM TO FINISH THE SECOND HALF. IF THE ENTIRE EXAM TAKES H
shepuryov [24]

Answer: First half was 24 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the time taken to finish the second half be y.

Since the student used 2/3 of the second half time to finish the first half, first half = 2/3 × y = 2y/3

The entire exam is an hour which equals 60 minutes

First half + Second half = 60minutes

Note that first half is denoted as 2y/3 and second half is denoted by y.

2y/3 + y = 60

5y/3 = 60

Cross multiply

5y = 60 × 3

5y = 180

y = 180/5

y = 36

Second half took 36 minutes

Since first half is 2y/3, it will be:

(2×36) / 3

= 72/3

= 24minutes

First half took 24 minutes.

Paladinen [302]
\text{Area of the triangle = 6 unit}^2Explanation:

The triangle is right angled.

The formula for area of the triangle:

\begin{gathered} A\text{ = }\frac{1}{2}bh \\  \\ b\text{ = base} \\ h\text{ = height} \end{gathered}

base = 3

height = 4

substitute the values:

\begin{gathered} \text{Area of the triangle = }\frac{1}{2}\times3\times4\text{ = 12/2} \\ \text{Area of the triangle = 6 unit}^2 \end{gathered}
