Answer:

k = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of k terms of a geometric sequence with first term a1 and common ratio r is given by ...

... Sk = a1·(1 -r^k)/(1 -r)

For the given numbers, this is ...

... 118096 = 78732·(1 -(1/3)^k)/(1 -1/3)

Manipulating this to get the term containing k, we have

... 1 -(2/3)(118096/78732) = (1/3)^k

... 1/59049 = (1/3)^k

Taking logarithms, we get

... -log(59049) = -k·log(3)

... log(59049)/log(3) = k = 10

What is the value of b(10) when b(x)=|3-x|+1 ?
vredina [299]
B(x) = |3-x|+1

b(10) means that we need to replace x by 10:
b(10) = |3-10|+1
As you can notice, 3-10 is between the lines of the absolute power. So if the answer is positive, you keep positive. If the answer is negative, you transform it to positive. |a| = a and |-a| = a. So |a|=|-a|.
So |3-10| = |-7| = |7| = 7.

b(10) = |3-10|+1 = 7 + 1 = 8.

So the value of b(10) when b(x)=|3-x|+1 is 8.

Hope this Helps! :)
