Answer:

first term = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Sₙ = (a₁ * (1 - rⁿ)) / (1 - r)     a₁: first term     r: common ratio     n: terms

15624 = (a₁ * (1 - 5⁶)) / (1 - 5)

          = (a₁ * -15624) / -4

a₁ x (-15624) =15624 x (-4)

a₁ = 4

check: 4+20+100+500+2500+12500 =15624

What is the EQUATION of the line PERPENDICULAR to y=-2x+5 and passing through the point (0,2)?
KonstantinChe [14]

▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪  {\huge\mathfrak{Answer}}▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪

The required equation is ~

\boxed{ \sf{y =  \frac{x}{2} + 2 }}

\large \boxed{ \mathfrak{Step\:\: By\:\:Step\:\:Explanation}}

Let's find the slope of given line ~

  • y =  - 2x + 5

comparing it with general slope - intercept form of line (y = mx + c) we get, m = -2 (that is slope of the line)

let the slope of the required line be n

And, now since the required line Is perpendicular to the given line. the product of their slopes is -1

that is ~

  • - 2 \times n =  - 1

  • n = \dfrac{ - 1}{ - 2}

  • n =  \dfrac{1}{2}

slope of required line is ~ 1/2

now, let's use the point - slope form of line to find the equation of required (perpendicular) line (using point (0 , 2) ~

that is ~

  • y - y_1 = m(x - x_ 1)

here, m = slope ~

  • y - 2 =  \dfrac{1}{2} (x - 0)

  • y - 2 =  \dfrac{x}{2}

  • y =  \dfrac{x}{2}  + 2

I hope it helps ~

a train goes 20% farther than an older train in the same amount of time. During the time it takes the other train to go 200 mile
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

240 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this we need to write an equation. For this problem let <u>d be the distance traveled</u>. We know that the new train (being much more modern than poor old Thomas who is long retired) can go 20% further. To show this we will take 20% of 200 and then add that to the original distance.

Our equation would look something like this:

d=200+(20%·200)

[one more little note: to find percentage take your percent and convert it into a decimal 20%=0.2)

d=200+(0.2·200)

d=200+40

<u>d=240</u>

The probability that the parking lot of a mall is full on a holiday is 0.19. The probability that it is a holiday is 0.29. What
dybincka [34]

Answer:

66%

Step-by-step explanation:

Use conditional probability.

P(full | holiday) = P(full AND holiday) / P(holiday)

P(full | holiday) = 0.19 / 0.29

P(full | holiday) ≈ 0.66
